Colonial Raptor

Operational Conditions: Atmospheric and space
The rugged and versatile workhorse of the Colonial Military, this adaptable ship has proven to be invaluable in the fleet's struggle for survival. Originally intended as a medium-range recon vehicle, the Raptor has been used as evrything from a boarding vessel to an ordnance delivery platform. Though not as fast as the Colonial Viper, it is also an effective combat platform, sporting electronic countermeasures capable of thwarting many Cylon weapons. The Raptor measures 28' in length and is hyperlight jump capable.
