AboutEdit

The Raptor Heavy Fighter was a starfighter in Wing Commander. These fighters were flown by Christopher Blair and several of his comrades during the Vega Sector campaign. These fighters were developed by Origin Aerospace, a major starfighter producer for the Terran Confederation. The Raptors saw major combat operation during the famous Enyo Engagement. Captain Geoffrey Tolwyn's plan to assist captive civilians rested on the abilities of a small force of Raptors outfitted as minelayers. These Raptors dropped space mines that surrounded a jump to prevent any hostile attacks on the fleeing captives. Even after many years, the Raptor remains one of the most powerful and respected fighters in the Confederation's service. The heavy fighter was favored by most pilots because of its heavy protection, powerful weapons array, and high speed. While the mass drivers and neutron cannons are the main weaponry of the Raptor, the heavy fighter also has five missile hard points and carries a porcupine mine behind the fighter.
