The Heavy Raider is a Cylon multifunctional spacecraft, used to attack colonial ships and transport Cylon fighters on boarding missions. Like a Cylon Raider, this spacecraft is sentient and self-flying. It can also be piloted by Centurions or human-form Cylons, but its lack of windows forces the pilot to rely on electronics only to navigate. The Heavy Raider has a thick armor, can resist intense enemy fire, and it is equipped with more powerful weaponry than a standard Raider. Its also a troop transport, perfect to carry Centurions onto planet surfaces or aboard human Battlestars.

Each Battlestar Galactica Spaceship Pack is a ready–to–play model, painted and assembled.
