The Crimson Elite Raider (also known as the Crimson Elite Advanced Raider) appears in the Battlestar Galactica video game and is an uprated variant of the Cylon Raider fightercraft. This fighter is piloted by Crimson Elite class Cylons and appears to be a prototype. Some versions of the Elite Raider are equipped with a cloaking device. Faster and better armoured than the standard Raider, it is armed with two forward firing energy weapons. The vessel's design merges elements of both the Original Series Raider and the more streamlined Raider from the 2003 Miniseries.
Note
This vessel is part of a separate continuity that mixes elements from the Re-imagined Series and Original Series as well as unique material. It is not a canonical item in either series.
