The Scatter Raider (also known as the Light Raider) appears in the Battlestar Galactica video game and is a variant of the Cylon Raider fightercraft. This fighter is smaller and lighter than the standard Raider, and is armed with four forward firing energy weapons. The ship takes its name from the tactical deployment method used for the craft; they are deployed in a swarm from an Overhauler carrier and 'scatter', overwhelming enemy forces with a multi-pronged attack wave.
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.
