The Raider is the primary attack craft used by the Cylons and is a completely new design compared to the original Raider used during the first Cylon war and is improved in virtually every way. The fighter is faster and more maneuverable when compared to the original model. In many ways, the fighter can be considered the equivalent of the Colonial Viper Mark VII. Unlike the Colonial capital ships, which carry heavy anti-ship weaponry, the Cylon Basestars rely far more on fighters and Raiders are carried in much larger numbers. Armed with two 30mm cannons, missiles and the ability to carry nuclear missiles the Raider is a formidable fighter craft.

There are two seats, one on each wing. Please note that the color in the video is correct...the room I took the pictures below in has a blue light source.
