: This Viper Mark II appeared in almost every episode of the famous television series ''[[TRS|Battlestar Galactica (2004)]]''. Launched from massive {{RDM|Battlestar}} ships, the Viper Mark II was instrumental in the [[First Cylon War]]. Although they were eventually replaced with newer models, a squadron of the space superiority fighters remained on board the {{RDM|Galactica|''Battlestar Galactica''}} and was re-activated to defend the ''Galactica'' during its four-year journey to {{RDM|Earth}}.  
: The {{RDM|Raider|Cylon Raider}}, also know as the [[sparrow]], is a sleek and deadly Strike Interceptor and the primary attack fighter used by the {{RDM|Cylons}}. It can speed past its enemies' ships and hunt down its targets. These new Raiders are cybernetic and capable of being "[[resurrection|reborn]]", just like the Cylons, into new Raiders after being destroyed. It is made of a complex system of organs, veins and biological fluids inside the main body which enables the "reborn" ability. This provides the Cylons with a distinct tactical advantage in essence that every time a Cylon Raider is destroyed, it is reborn slightly improved having "learned" through each life-cycle it undergoes.

The Modern Cylon Raider is issue #2 from Eaglemoss' Battlestar Galactica: The Official Ships Collection, a series of collectible models from the Battlestar Galactica multiverse.

Description

From Eaglemoss' product page:

The Cylon Raider, also know as the sparrow, is a sleek and deadly Strike Interceptor and the primary attack fighter used by the Cylons. It can speed past its enemies' ships and hunt down its targets. These new Raiders are cybernetic and capable of being "reborn", just like the Cylons, into new Raiders after being destroyed. It is made of a complex system of organs, veins and biological fluids inside the main body which enables the "reborn" ability. This provides the Cylons with a distinct tactical advantage in essence that every time a Cylon Raider is destroyed, it is reborn slightly improved having "learned" through each life-cycle it undergoes.
This Cylon Raider ship measures approximately 9.8 inches long and is brought to life in die-cast metal and high-quality ABS materials. It also comes complete with a 16-page[1] collector’s magazine providing an in-depth profile of the ship, exclusive behind the scenes articles, original design sketches, and an interview with series developer, Ronald D. Moore.
