The Cylon Raider is a an attack craft piloted
by 3 robotic cylon centurian pilots. The craft is
slow and rather unmaneuverable but its easy to
produce and maintain. It is inferior to the
Colonial Viper attack craft but quieter and
available in great quantities to attack and
defend enemies within the Cylon's sphere of
influence.
Cylon Basestar
The Basestar is the Cylon
equivalent of the Colonial Battlestar. The only
real difference is that the Basestars look more
like giant parking garages than vessels of war.
And in essence they are just large parking
garages for waves of cylon raider attack craft
which are the real punch that the Basestars can
deliver. The Basestar's have a few defensive
lasers to prevent attack but beyond their
fighters they have few offensive capabilities.
