Capacity: 10(?) Centurions
Propulsion: ??
Armament: At least one missile launcher, kinetic energy weapons (KEW)

Not much is yet known about this craft.

The first Cylon Heavy Raider is seen landing near Helo and Boomer near the end of Season 1 Colonial Day on Cylon-Occupied Caprica. A heavy raider is also the craft that crash landed into Galactica's unused starboard flight pod during Season 2 Scattered. The heavy raider is shown during Scattered to have both projectile armament and troop transport capabilities.

During season 2, a force of five Centurions landed in a ship that is either a Heavy Raider or a currently Unidentified Cylon Craft on Kobol. They proceeded to dismantle its missile launcher and DRADIS assembly in an attempt to build a surface-to-air missile battery, intending to shoot down any search and rescue parties that Galactica would send to find Raptor 1's crew.(Fragged)
