The Raptor, a SoroSuub Preybird-class starfighter, was one of a pair possessed by the smuggler known as Mazzic. This particular ship, the Raptor, was recognizable by its unique red avian artwork, contrasting with the blue color scheme of its counterpart, the Skyclaw. Mazzic frequently employed these atypical, yet imposing starfighters both to scare off potential adversaries and to safeguard his smuggling ships during risky ventures.
