'''Raptor 718''' is a designation of no fewer than two different [[Raptor]]s.
Raptor 718 was flown by [[Richard Bayer|Richard "Buster" Bayer]] during a Raptor Training Exercise.


== ''Pegasus'' Raptor ==
During the exercise, it responded to a false distress signal with [[Raptor 314]].  Not long after, the crews of both Raptors were killed.


'''Raptor 718''' is a ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' raptor flown by [[Richard Bayer|Richard "Buster" Bayer]] during a Raptor training exercise ordered by Captain [[Kara Thrace]].
The Raptors could not be salvaged due to the appearance of three Cylon Base Ships and the ensuing battle. ([[The Captain's Hand]])


During the exercise, it responds to a distress signal with [[Raptor 314]] within the dark clouds of a binary star system.  Not long after, the crews of both Raptors no longer respond and are presumed lost or disabled within the cloud.
==Note==
 
This craft is identified as "Raptor 17" on ''Pegasus's'' [[DRADIS]] screen.
Raptor 718 and its companion Raptor are found by ''Pegasus'', its crew inside killed and its atmosphere vented into space. As it turns out, the Raptors were bait by the Cylons to lure Colonial forces into the cloud, as predicted by Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]]. The Raptors are abandoned after three Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] [[Battle of the Binary Star System|ambush ''Pegasus'']], eventually forcing it to retreat {{TRS|The Captain's Hand}}.
 
== ''Galactica'' Raptor ==
 
[[File:TFOTE_Raptor718.jpg|thumb|Raptor 718 stranded in deep space {{TRS|The Face of the Enemy}}.]]
 
Raptor 718 is flown by Lt. [[J. Finnegan|J. "Shark" Finnegan]] and [[Esrin|"Easy" Esrin]] while shuttling ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' crew and allied rebel Cylons to ''[[Zephyr]]''.  When {{RDM|the Fleet}} jumps away due to a false alarm, the Raptor accidentally jumps beyond the [[red line]], stranding four humans and two [[Number Eight]]s aboard with a depleting oxygen supply. In order to extend said supply, "Sweet Eight" stealthily kills members between [[Jump]]s, leaving only herself and [[Felix Gaeta]]; Gaeta kills her, but not before she manages to jump the Raptor most of the way back to the Fleet.
 
718 and its lone survivor, Gaeta, are later recovered by [[SAR]] [[Raptor 1029]] piloted by [[Margaret Edmondson]] with Lieutenant [[Louis Hoshi]] aboard {{TRS|The Face of the Enemy}}.
 
==Notes==
* ''Pegasus''{{'|s}} Raptor 718 is identified as "Raptor 17" on ''Pegasus''{{'|s}} [[DRADIS]] screen. It should be noted that DRADIS numbers and ship numbers do not typically match.
