Society
Raptors, had fought in a massive war long ago. The Raptor religion, being a widespread polytheism, also causes disputes between Raptors, usually escalating into battles between opposing sects or fanatic cults. According to a quote from one of the characters, there are roughly 2.3 gods per Raptor, so the total amount of Raptor gods is nigh-incalculable. However, many of these are minor gods. According to quotes from Raptor dialogue, there is a great collective of major gods that they call "The Threehundred". As the name would suggest, there are roughly three hundred major gods.

Ships
Raptor vessels and stations are built in elegant designs, and usually are navy blue and yellow in color. The Raptor's weapon of choice is the ion cannon and missile launcher. Raptor ion cannons are very powerful against shields, usually draining a ship's shield energy in several shots. However, the cannons are not as effective against a ship's hull, so they employ missile launchers to deal the final blow. When being pursued, Raptor ships drop mines that can deal severe damage to an unwary foe.

Appearances
The Raptor are from the space-flight simulator game, DarkStar One (computer version) and DarkStar One: Broken Alliance (Xbox360 version).
