This archive contains three files:
raider.iobj...............Imagine 2.0 object of a Cylon(tm) Raider
cylon.brush...............IFF "decal" used by this object
raider.readme.............this file
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.
Freely distributable, but unless this file is included you must credit the
