A Heavy Raider is a Cylon attack spacecraft.
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. Unlike the standard Raider, the Heavy Raider does not appear to be autonomous, instead requiring a pilot to operate the controls, although Starbuck anticipated having to "blow its brain out" in order to commandeer it.
The first Heavy Raider is seen landing near Helo and Sharon Valerii near the end of Season 1 (Colonial Day) on Cylon-occupied Caprica. 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 ship that is either a Heavy Raider or an (at the time) unidentified Cylon craft. 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 sent 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."
