'''Raptor 1''' is the designation of the lead [[Raptor]] in a scout party dispatched to [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] by ''[[Galactica]]'' in the episode "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]".

"Raptor 1" is also the designation of the lead Raptor of the [[SAR]] party deployed in "[[Fragged]]", and another Raptor in "[[Home, Part II]]" that makes an [[intra-atmos entry]] in Kobol's atmosphere to find [[Laura Roslin]].

== Incident ==

After entering Kobol's orbit, a phalanx of [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raiders]] happens upon them suddenly. [[Raptor 3]] is destroyed in orbit via collision with a Raider, [[Raptor 275|Raptor 2]] is ordered to [[FTL|jump]] back to ''Galactica'', and Raptor 1 is damaged as a result of the fracas - shot once, sending it into an uncontrolled counter-clockwise spin, and then a second time, breaching the crew cabin and killing the pilot, [[Karma]].

[[Crashdown]] manages to ditch near an overgrown field, near [[City of the Gods|ruins]] presumed to be from humanity pre-Exodus. During the crash, [[Socinus]] is badly burned, but the remaining six survive relatively unscathed. The survivors take cover in a nearby forest, but [[Tarn]] is gunned down by Cylon ground forces while retrieving a medical kit lost in the confusion. Socinus succumbs to his injuries shortly thereafter, and is euthanized by [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]].

After burying the two, the remaining five observe [[Cylon Centurion]]s constructing a [[DRADIS]] dish and missile battery to intercept ''Galactica's'' [[SAR]] party. Crashdown formulates a plan to take out the Cylon forces, but is killed by [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] after drawing a gun on [[Cally Henderson]] when the plan goes awry.

The SAR party manages to evade the Cylon missiles and rescue the four survivors. It is likely that Raptor 1 is left behind on Kobol.

== Occupants ==

Raptor 1 is composed of eight crew persons.

=== Surviving ===

* Vice President [[Gaius Baltar]]
* Specialist [[Cally Henderson]]
* CPO [[Galen Tyrol]] - shot in right arm
* Specialist [[Diana Seelix]] - shot in right leg
