In Battlestar Galactica - Starship Battles, players take control of Colonial and Cylon spaceships and face each other in furious dogfights and daring missions. The innovative game system features easy to learn rules, a unique set of maneuver cards for each spaceship, and two exclusive devices - the control panel(included in the Starter Set or as a separate accessory) and the rotating miniature base (included in each Spaceship Pack). Each Battlestar Galactica - Spaceship Pack is a ready-to-play model, painted and assembled.

The Heavy Raider is a Cylon multifunctional spacecraft, used to attack colonial ships and transport Cylon fighters on boarding missions. Like a Cylon Raider, this spacecraft is sentient and self-flying. It can also be piloted by Centurions or humanform Cylons, but its lack of windows forces the pilot to rely on electronics only to navigate. The Heavy Raider has a thick armor, can resist intense enemy fire, and it is equipped with more powerful weaponry than a standard Raider. Its also a troop transport, perfect to carry Centurions onto planet surfaces or aboard human Battlestars.
