'''Raptor 1''' is the designation of the lead [[Raptor]] in a scout party dispatched to {{RDM|Kobol}} by ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' in the episode "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]".

"Raptor 1" is also the designation of the lead Raptor of the [[SAR]] party deployed in "[[Fragged]]", and another Raptor in "[[Home, Part II]]" that makes an [[intra-atmos entry]] in Kobol's atmosphere to find [[Laura Roslin]].

== Incident ==

After entering Kobol's orbit, a phalanx of [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raiders]] happens upon them suddenly. [[Raptor 3]] is destroyed in orbit via collision with a Raider, [[Raptor 275|Raptor 2]] is ordered to [[FTL|jump]] back to ''Galactica'', and Raptor 1 is damaged as a result of the fracas―shot once, sending it into an uncontrolled counter-clockwise spin, and then a second time, breaching the crew cabin and killing the pilot, [[Karma]] {{TRS|Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I}}.

{{callsign|Crashdown}} manages to ditch near an overgrown field, near [[City of the Gods|ruins]] presumed to be from humanity pre-Exodus. During the crash, [[Socinus]] is badly burned, but the remaining six survive relatively unscathed, while the Raptor suffers secondary explosions and burns {{TRS|Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II}}. The survivors take cover in a nearby forest, but [[Tarn]] is gunned down by Cylon ground forces while retrieving a medical kit lost in the confusion. Socinus succumbs to his injuries shortly thereafter, and is euthanized by [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] {{TRS|Scattered}}.

After burying the two, the remaining five observe [[Cylon Centurion]]s constructing a [[DRADIS]] dish and missile battery to intercept ''Galactica''{{'|s}} [[SAR]] party. Crashdown formulates a plan to take out the Cylon forces, but is killed by [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] after drawing a gun on [[Cally Henderson]] when the plan goes awry.

The SAR party manages to evade the Cylon missiles and rescue the four survivors {{TRS|Valley of Darkness}}. It is likely that Raptor 1's remains are left behind on Kobol {{TRS|Home, Part II}}.

== Occupants ==
