- This object is the Cylon Raider from the universe of the live/model
- action TV show BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (late 1970s). It is based upon a
- Monogram model; BATTLESTAR GALACTICA is (tm) Universal City Studios, Inc..

- Raiders were moderately large starfighters carried by huge Cylon BaseStars.
- Cylons were humanoid robots; the crew of a Raider consisted of three Cylon
- Centurions (explaining their large size and lack of agility). They lacked
- the acceleration of the opposing Colonial Vipers, but seem to have had
- embryonic stealth characteristics; engagements tended to resemble a battle
- between a handful of Spitfires and a large swarm of Stukas: many Raiders
- were lost, but they often got through and did damage anyway.
-
- Scale of this object is uncertain, but from the size of the cockpit canopy
- I judge it to be about 50mm to one Imagine unit. It is thus somewhat
- larger than most starfighters.
-
- NOTE: You will have to modify the path to the brush so it matches the
- configuration of your particular system.
