In the remake of the sci-fi television series Battlestar Galactica begun in 2003, the Raider is the primary attack fighter used by the Cylons, participating in the destruction of the Twelve Colonies and later pursuit of the Fleet.This fighter is very different from the one used during the 1978 series. The new Raiders have a part-machine, part-organism composition, while the Cylon androids appear fully human.1 It appears that they are also capable of "resurrecting" as new Raiders if they are
destroyed, in this way they are able to learn from their mistakes, and fight in a deadly way, without fear of making new mistakes.
New Raiders do not have to be trained, giving Cylons a tactical advantage over novice human Viper pilots.2
The Raiders have many weapons, including conventional missiles, nuclear missiles, and kinetic energy cannons.
they can transmit computer viruses to Colonial ships using their browser software.
This program was previously compromised, due to sabotage carried out by Gaius Baltar and Gina prior to the start of the attack on the Twelve Colonies, allowing access and disengagement, leaving the defenses useless.
When they transmit the virus, their red eye is activated and it oscillates repeatedly from left to right.
The Cylon Raider is also capable of super-light jumps.
When a Raider was captured by the Battlestar Galactica, its jump system proved to be more efficient than those of the Colonial Fleet ships.
He could traverse the distance between Kobol and Caprica in a single leap.
