The [b]Raptor[/b] is the [wiki]Split[/wiki] carrier ship. It first made an appearance in the war against the [wiki]Boron[/wiki] when it proved to be effective but vulnerable to attack from beneath. It is believed that, over the intervening jazuras, the [wiki]Split[/wiki] have re-developed the ship to eliminate this problem.
A High-ranking [wiki]Split[/wiki] officer who is linked by kin to the ruling family clan commands the ship. Generally they are even more abrasive and arrogant than the other members of their race. Fast and heavily armed, it has earned the reputation of being the best carrier in service as its relatively slender hull manages to hold more fighter craft than any of its rivals. Only the most arrogant and aggressive [wiki]Split[/wiki] captains ever find themselves in command of a [b]Raptor[/b], and for all these reasons extreme caution is advised whenever approaching one.

Because of it's superior speed and hanger capacity, this is the most popular of the race [wiki]Carrier[/wiki]s It also has the best laser reload and is one of only two to be able to fit Mass Drivers,which is handy as the right and left turrets are the only ones that support Flaks. However, it also has the lowest shields at 5GJ, so although it pack a heavy punch, it can also be vulnerable. It is also narrow and hard to hit compared to the others, in line with other [wiki]Split[/wiki] capital ships.

Packing 65 [wiki]M3[/wiki] class fighters into a single hull is no easy task, but it is one that the designers of the [wiki]Split[/wiki] [b]Raptor[/b] have exceeded in. It has been rumoured that the [wiki]Split[/wiki] have found a way to use the revolutionary cargo compression technology on living beings, but it would be very unlikely, considering the distinct lack of evidence supporting this theory. With this many fighters, the [b]Raptor[/b] can prove superior to almost any opposing force, decimating lighter [wiki]M6[/wiki] class ships and even posing a threat to [wiki]Destroyer[/wiki]s and [wiki]Carrier[/wiki]s.

The [b]Raptor[/b] has been in service ever since the [wiki]Split[/wiki]-[wiki]Boron[/wiki] war, and has been undergoing updates and redesign processes ever since. Beginning with developing weapon ports on the underside to cover it's weak points, to massively improving the size of it's cargo hold as a retort to the the [wiki]Argon[/wiki] [wiki]Colossus[/wiki] similarly impressive hangars, the [b]Raptor[/b] is a striking symbol of [wiki]Split[/wiki] wartime ingenuity, and is a threat to even the most battle-hardened Admiral.
