'''''Raptor 909''''', also known as '''''Wild Weasel''''', is a [[sublight]]-only [[Raptor]] attached to the battlestar ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' (BS 75) in the tenth year of the war. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:Raptor 909 noseart.jpg|left|thumb|Closeup of ''Weasel''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> nose art.]]<br />
During the 10 year, ''Wild Weasel'' was crewed by Lt. Oliver Bead, and Jr. Lt. Coker Fasjovik. However, Lt. Bead is killed when the ''Weasel'' has a run in with Cylon forces. Jr. Lt. Fasjovik was in the process of cleaning up Bead's blood stains when his replacement, Ensign William Adama, who was fresh off the boat, is assigned by the ship's CAG, Captain [[Armin Diaz]]. <br />
<br />
Shortly after his assignment to ''Wild Weasel'', Adama and co-pilot Fasjovik are ordered by [[Commander]] [[Silas Nash]] to escort [[Graystone Industries]] scientist Doctor [[Becca Kelly]] to the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]]. En route, however, Kelly reveals new orders to rendezvous with the battlestar ''[[Archeron]]'' in [[Sector 12]], near [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]]-controlled space. Upon arrival at the designated coordinates, Adama, Fasjovik and Kelly discover ''Archeron'' destroyed and are pursued by Cylon [[Raider (RDM)#Cylon War-era Raider|forces]]. They escape after leading the Raiders through the debris, and outwit them after Adama pilots the ''Weasel'' through the still active FTL drive.<br />
<br />
With ''Archeron'' destroyed, Dr. Kelley orders the Raptor to break radio silence and make contact with an unknown source. Once a reply was received Adama was ordered to take the craft into Cylon held space, where a Colonial fleet was parked, hiding away. After a brief run in with the fleet's CAP, the ''Weasel'' is directed to contact the LSO aboard the battlestar ''[[Osiris]]'' (BS 54), and land. Soon after, ''Osiris'' is tasked by Colonial Admiralty with a combat jump to [[Djerba]], in order to deliver Kelly to a Cylon comm relay where it is believed she is to upload a malicious command to the Cylon network. Two Viper pilots from battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]'' (BS 41), [[Jim Kirby|Jim "Sunshine" Kirby]] and [[Zachary Elias]], are tasked with escorting the Raptor to the surface. <br />
<br />
Soon after launch, all three are followed down by Cylon Raiders and engaged. Elias is killed, and Kirby abandons the battle, leaving the Raptor crew alone. While Adama is successful once more in destroying their pursuers, the Raptor takes damage and is forced into a crash landing into a large glacier on the surface of the moon. Despite being in fixable condition, the Raptor was abandoned by the crew shortly afterwards (''[[Blood and Chrome]]'').<br />

==Notes==<br />
*''Wild Weasel'' is one of the few practical set pieces seen in ''[[Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome]]'', a redress of the Raptor from the [[Re-imagined Series]]. A departure from previously seen Raptors in the Re-imagined Series, ''Wild Weasel'' features its name, nose art of a weasel, as well as the 10th Raptors Squadron logo and Raptor number (909) on its sides. <br />
