Movie, I think.  Or maybe mini-series, who knows.

Hmm... heard the name, never seen the show to my knowledge.

Heh.  I was also thinking that one of the TuffleyVerse fighters did look
a
*little* like a Raider -- it has a disk-like portion to it, anyway --
but
it'd probably be smaller than the not-Niall, which kinda kills that
idea.
Digging out the Geo-Hex catalog, I think I'm thinking of the NSL
Wespe-class fighter, but the photocopy isn't all that good.  Anyone?

Or, if they're in scale with the starships, as a really muckin' huge
starbase....
