Cylon Raider - Pyramid and Socialtors Reboot

When I heard there was serious consideration for another reboot/reimagining of Battlestar Galactica, I threw up my hands and said "screw it. I'll make my own Battlestar Galactica, with Blackjack and Hookers!" (Pyramid and Socialators?) It has since been stated that the new project will NOT be a reboot, but a new story "within the mythology" of the RDM version of the show. No details are as yet forthcoming. In the meantime, I'm going to do my own thing. Some of you will undoubtedly hate it. Hopefully one or two will love it.

In the Pyramid & Socialators reboot, the Cylons are pure machines again, the creations of a now extinct belligerent alien race. (Just like the OG BSG.) The Raider is an autonomous combat vehicle - no triad of robots piloting it - with a networked intelligence that coordinates with other raiders in a pack hunter style schema. Typically five Raiders coordinate as a Pentad, and Pentads coordinate with other Pentads as though they were a singular entity. The main body of the fighter is a close analogue in size to the OG Raider, with the long sweeping wings being used to remove waste heat and provide a long moment arm for roll-thrusters at the tips. The Raider has no FTL capability, nor can it carry any crew or passengers.
