Raptor 312 is a Raptor craft piloted by Lt. Sharon Valerii ("Boomer") and ECO'd by Karl Agathon. It flies in formation with Capt. Lee Adama and one of Galactica's viper squadrons in the ship's decomissioning ceremony.

It is later called into duty flying with Capt. Jackson Spencer's ill-fated squadron during the first hours of the Cylon attack. The ship is pursued by Cylon raiders and damaged by shrapnel from a missile, forcing it to crash-land on Caprica, where its crew make repairs. The Raptor later meets up with the Fleet forming around Colonial One, and helps scout for other surving craft, before rejoining Galactica at Ragnar Anchorage (Miniseries).

When CPO Galen Tyrol refers to a Raptor which Valerii had piloted on 47 missions, he may be referring to this one (Flight of the Phoenix). She is also known to have piloted Raptor 478 (33, Water).
