The Raptor is designed to play multiple roles, ranging from reconnaissance and scouting, to supporting missions with electronic countermeasures and deploying additional firepower. It is slower and less maneuverable than a Viper, but it is capable of short-range FTL jumps and can be armed to fight back Cylons.
The Raptor SAR/ECM is an excellent tactical craft for search-and-rescue operations, as well as for transport of military forces and technicians. It can also be equipped for short and medium range scans of spacecraft signatures and planet surfaces.

Expansion For | Battlestar Galactica: Starship Battles |
In Battlestar Galactica - Starships Battles, players take control of Colonial and Cylon spaceships and face each other in furious dogfights and daring missions. The innovative game system features easy to learn rules, a unique set of maneuver cards for each spaceship, and two exclusive devices - the control panel (included in the Starter Set or as a separate accessory - BSG501A) and the rotating miniature base (included in each Spaceship Pack). Each Battlestar Galactica - Spaceship Pack is a ready-to-play model, painted and assembled.
The Viper Mk. VII is a great improvement over the Viper Mk. II, with superior capabilities and better flight information for the pilot. After the Cylons infiltrated a fatal backdoor in the Command Navigation Program, most Mk. VIIs have been retrofitted, losing part of their performing features.
Isolated from the rest of the fleet, the pilots on board of Battlestar Pegasus have been fighting an exhausting battle against the Cylons, and they started to paint kill marks on their Vipers to keep up the crew morale.
Pilot cards for Noel "Narcho" Allison are included in this pack.
This is not a complete game. You must own a Battlestar Galactica - Starship Battles Starter Set to play.

Equipped with an almost totally computerized cockpit and sophisticated targeting software, the Mv. VII is armed with up to three forward-facing cannons, and it is a powerful rival for Cylon fighters.

Most of the Mk. VIIs aboard the Galactica were destroyed when the Cylons hacked their navigation software. The surviving ones, retrofitted with older software, are still very effective when flown by skilled pilots such as Apollo.
Pilot cards for Leland Joseph Adama "Apollo" are included in this pack.

Starting from the heart of Africa, players in Origin will determine the course of mankind's expansion on our planet, with the tribes gradually growing more diversified over time while still maintaining links to their ancestors and to all inhabitants of Earth.
The game tokens in Origin come in three colors, three heights, and three thicknesses, and at the start of the game one of the smallest, skinniest pieces is placed in the center of Africa. In addition, you place three technology tiles at random on the tan, orange and violet sections of the tech chart and six random tiles on the brown section; the tech tiles show 1-5 arrows. You also shuffle tan, orange and violet decks of cards and place them in the appropriate places. Tan cards provide an one-shot effect, orange cards give you a permanent power, and violet cards present you with an objective you must meet; if you do so, you can play the objective card on your turn, and immediately draw another. You can play at most one card of each color each turn.
On a turn, a player takes one of three actions:
When you place a new piece on the board or move an existing piece, you're rewarded based on the color of the space you occupy. If you place in or move into a tan, orange or violet region, either you take a tile and the top card of this color or you draw three cards of this color and keep one of them. For a brown region, you either draw two tiles from the brown section of the tech board or draw one tile from anywhere. The technology tiles must be acquired from low to high – so you can't acquire a 4 unless you have a 3 – but you can have multiple tech stacks. You must meet a certain technology threshold in order to play the orange cards and acquire their special power.
In addition, you can score points during the game by occupying a grassland on a continent or the two regions on opposite sides of a waterway strait.
Players take turns until either all of the pieces are on the game board or all the tiles have been acquired or all the cards of one color have been drawn. Once this happens, players tally their points for objectives, grasslands, straits, tech tiles, and cards still in hand to see who wins!
