Raptor 312: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:46, 20 January 2021

Raptor 312 is a Raptor assigned to Galactica, piloted by Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii and ECO Karl "Helo" Agathon.

It flies in formation with Capt. Lee Adama and a Viper squadron in the ship'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 Cylon Raiders and damaged by shrapnel from a missile, forcing it to land on Caprica, ostensively on the furthest outskirts of Caprica City. Its crew makes repairs and saves a select few civilians 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, the Raptor aids in finding other stranded civilian ships before rejoining Galactica at Ragnar Anchorage, thus establishing the Fleet ^{(TRS: "Miniseries")}.

While Valerii has flown other Raptors, Valerii's primarily known for flying Raptor 312, as her name and call sign adorn the ship.

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

-Raptor 312 is known to a few crew members as having a possible "Gimbal Haunting" where Raptor 314 causes freshly rebuilt gimbals to appear 'bad' even after being tested multiple times both before and after the alleged 'bad gimble' event was reported to have happened - the gimble is always blamed for the skid marks left by the in the landing deck by Raptor 314 with both pilot and [[ECO]] reporting trouble with the gimble
