Swallow

A Swallow is an decoy drone used to lure enemy heat-seeking missiles away from a Colonial vessel.

These devices were deployed from Raptor 478 to successfully lure away two missiles shot at it by a Cylon Raider during the Fall of the Twelve Colonies (Mini-Series).

The pilot of the Raptor deploys these and other devices on request from the ECO.

Original Series definition: a term for a robot, such as Muffit II ^{(TOS: "Saga of a Star World")}
