A '''swallow''' is an decoy drone used to lure enemy guided missiles away from a Colonial vessel, typically it is launched by the [[ECO]] as part of a Raptor's [[ECM]] suite.<br />
<br />
These devices were deployed from [[Raptor 478]] to successfully lure away two missiles shot at it by a [[Cylon Raider]] during the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] ([[Miniseries]]).<br />
<br />
Enough swallows can mimic the electrical "footprint," or signatures of other spacecraft, even that of [[Battlestar (RDM)|battlestars]] when programmed and grouped together ([[Exodus, Part II]]).<br />

* Swallows seem to serve as a combination [[w:Chaff (radar countermeasure)|chaff]], [[w:Decoy|decoy]], and [[w:Electronic countermeasures|electronic countermeasures]] suite.<br />
