Editing Jigger

A '''jigger''' is an electronic countermeasures device on a [[Raptor]].

[[Sharon Valerii|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii]] tells Captain {{callsign|Apollo}} that her [[Raptor 312|Raptor]], now inside the cargo bay of ''[[Colonial One]]'', is out of jiggers as well as other tactical tools such as [[communication drone]]s {{TRS|Miniseries, Night 1}}.

In her falsified description of her "return" to [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] to retrieve the stranded [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]], [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Valerii]] tells Agathon that she "set the jiggers to pulse," suggesting that jiggers aid in masking a Raptor's electronic or [[DRADIS]] signature to enemy forces.

The Raptor that this Valerii had supposedly flown to the area is found surrounded by [[Cylon Centurion]]s, making its use to return to ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' impossible {{TRS|Water}}.

== Notes ==

* Jigger is a colloquialism as the [[Wiktionary:jigger|term itself]] means to confuse or interfere with a function, in this case [[DRADIS]] scanning. The term originates from nautical sources, namely the [[Wiktionary:Jiggermast|jiggermast]]: the aft-most mast of a multi-masted sailing ship.
