Editing Swallow

A '''Swallow''' is an decoy drone used to lure enemy heat-seeking missiles away from a Colonial vessel.

These devices were deployed from [[Raptor 478]] to successfully lure away two missiles shot at it by a [[Cylon Raider]] during the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] ([[Miniseries]]).

The pilot of the Raptor deploys these and other devices on request from the [[ECO]].
