Editing Raptor 312

[[File:TRS - Miniseries - Raptor 312 on Galactica.jpg|thumb|[[Raptor 312]] after it makes its final, bumpy peacetime landing... {{TRS|Miniseries, Night 1}}.]]
'''Raptor 312''' is a [[Raptor]] assigned to ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'', piloted by Lt. [[Sharon Valerii|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii]] and [[ECO]] [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]]. 

It flies in formation with Capt. [[Lee Adama]] and a [[Viper (TRS)|Viper]] squadron during the [[Battlestar (TRS)|battlestar]]'s decommissioning ceremony.

It is later called into duty with Capt. [[Jackson Spencer]]'s ill-fated squadron during the first hours of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. The ship is pursued by {{RDM|Cylons|Cylon}} {{RDM|Raider}}s and damaged by shrapnel from a missile, forcing it to land on {{RDM|Caprica}}, ostensibly on the furthest outskirts of [[Caprica City]]. Its crew affect repairs, not expecting to serve as a life boat of a few civilians selected by lottery, including [[Gaius Baltar]]. Agathon remains on Caprica in exchange for the extra weight of Baltar, believing that Baltar's genius was more important to the survival of the human race.

After being rescued by newly sworn-in President [[Laura Roslin]]'s caravan, 312 aids in finding other stranded civilian ships before rejoining ''Galactica'' at [[Ragnar Anchorage]], thus establishing {{RDM|the Fleet}} {{TRS|Miniseries}}.

Ostensibly due to the aforesaid damage, Valerii is reassigned to [[Raptor 478]] with Lt. {{Callsign|Crashdown}} {{TRS|33}}.

== Notes ==

* Sharon Valerii and Chief [[Galen Tyrol]] use the dubious functionality of a "landing gimbal" from 312 as pretext for intimate relations {{TRS|Miniseries}}.
* When Tyrol refers to a Raptor which Valerii had piloted on 47 missions, he may be referring to either Raptor 312 {{TRS|Flight of the Phoenix}} or [[Raptor 478]] {{TRS|33|Water}}.
