Raptor 312 is a Raptor craft piloted by Lt. Sharon Valerii ("Boomer") and ECO'd by Karl Agathon. It flies in formation with Capt. Lee Adama and one of Galactica's viper squadrons in the ship's decomissioning ceremony.

It is later called into duty flying with Capt. Jackson Spencer's ill-fated squadron during the first hours of the Cylon attack. The ship is persued by Cylon raiders and damaged by shrapnel from a missile, forcing it to crash-land on Caprica, where its crew make repairs. The Raptor later meets up with the Fleet forming around Colonial One, and helps scout for other surving craft, before rejoining Galactica at Ragnar Anchorage.

When CPO Galen Tyrol referred to a Raptor which Valerii had piloted on 47 missions, he may have been referring to this one. She was also known to pilot Raptor 312.



One of a handful of Galactica's Raptors that survived the Cylon Attack.

Agathon was replaced by Crashdown (33), who was in turn replaced by Racetrack (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II).

Valerii flew 47 combat missions in Raptor 312. Chief Tyrol was frequently required to perform maintenance on it's landing gear. (Flight of the Phoenix)
