Raptor 312: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:36, 13 April 2012

Raptor 312 is a Raptor piloted by Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii and ECO "Helo" Agathon. It flies in formation with Capt. Lee Adama and one of Galactica's Viper squadrons in the ship's decomissioning ceremony.

It is later called into duty with Capt. Jackson Spencer's ill-fated squadron during the first hours of the Cylon attack. The ship is pursued by Cylon Raiders and damaged by shrapnel from a missile, forcing it to land on Caprica. Its crew makes repairs and saves a select few civilians by lottery, including Gaius Baltar. Helo stays behind on Caprica in exchange for the extra weight of Baltar, believing that Baltar's genius was more important to the fleet than himself.

After being rescued by new President Laura Roslin's caravan, the Raptor aids in finding other stranded civilian ships before rejoining Galactica at Ragnar Anchorage (Miniseries).

When CPO Galen Tyrol refers to a Raptor which Valerii had piloted on 47 missions, he may be referring to Raptor 312 (Flight of the Phoenix). She is also known to have piloted Raptor 478 ("33," "Water").
