A Heavy Raider is a Cylon attack spacecraft (Scattered), nicknamed "turkey" by the Fleet's military units (Maelstrom).
The main armament of the Heavy Raider seems to consist of a barbette of six cannons mounted under the cockpit area of the vehicle (as seen here). These cannons are capable of an extremely high rate of fire (Scattered). They are also capable of launching missiles.
Not much is yet known about this craft. The Heavy Raider is likely autonomous, as evidenced by the Raider-style head. While Centurions have been seen exiting Heavy Raiders, there is no proof that they piloted it.
The first Heavy Raider is seen as part of a Cylon search party looking for Helo and Sharon Valerii on Cylon-occupied Caprica ("Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down"). Further sightings in Season 1 are in "Colonial Day" with one craft landing near Helo and Sharon, and in space over Caprica in "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II".
A Heavy Raider with a boarding party of Centurions crash-lands into Galactica's unused starboard flight pod (Scattered).
After shooting down a Colonial scouting party over Kobol, a force of five Centurions lands near the crash site of Raptor 1 in a Heavy Raider. They proceed to dismantle its missile launcher and DRADIS assembly in an attempt to build a surface-to-air missile battery, intending to shoot down any search and rescue parties that Galactica sends to find the survivors (Fragged).
The Heavy Raider is conclusively proven to be a troop transport in "The Farm" when Sharon Valerii commandeers one and uses it to evacuate the Caprica Resistance after they rescue Starbuck from a Cylon hybrid "farm."
The Cylon attack fleet in "Flight of the Phoenix" includes a large amount of Heavy Raiders, which could indicate a planned boarding operation.
Notes[edit]
- According to Eric Chu, Richard Livingston designed the Heavy Raider. [1]
