Raptor 1: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:08, 20 August 2005

Raptor 1 was the designation of the lead Raptor in a scout party dispatched to Kobol by Battlestar Galactica in the episode Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I.

Incident[edit]

After entering Kobol's orbit, a phalanx of Cylon Raiders happened upon them suddenly. Raptor 3 was destroyed in orbit via collision with a Raider, Raptor 2 left via FTL to Galactica, and Raptor 1 was damaged as a result of the fracas - shot once, sending it into an uncontrolled counter-clockwise spin, and then a second time, breaching the crew cabin and killing the pilot, Karma.

Crashdown managed to ditch near an overgrown field, near ruins presumed to be from humanity pre-Colonization. During the crash, Socinus was badly burned, but the remaining six survived relatively unscathed. The survivors took cover in a nearby forest, but Tarn was gunned down by Cylon ground forces while retrieving a medical kit lost in the confusion. Socinus seccumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter, and was euthanized by Tyrol.

After burying the two, the remaining five observed Cylon Centurions constructing a DRADIS dish and missile battery to intercept Galactica's SAR party. Crashdown formulated a plan to take out the Cylon forces, but was killed by Baltar after drawing a gun on Cally when the plan went badly awry.

The SAR party managed to evade the Cylon missiles and rescue the four survivors.

Occupants[edit]

Raptor 1 was comprised of eight crew persons.

Surviving[edit]

Vice President Gaius Baltar
Specialist Cally
CPO Galen Tyrol - shot in right arm
Medic Selix - shot in right leg

Deceased[edit]

Karma: KIA prior to crashlanding (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II)
Tarn: KIA (Scattered)
Specialist Socinus: died from pulmonary edema and deliberate morpha overdose (Valley of Darkness)
