An Attacker is an alien spacecraft featured in the 1996 film Independence Day. Attackers can be deployed by City Destroyers as well as the Mothership, although the latter doesn't seem to be equipped for rapid dispatch.

!Warning: Spoilers Ahead!

In the Expanded Universe novel Independence Day: War in the Desert, a City Destroyer in the Middle East deploys five hundred attackers to destroy the Earth fighters sent after it following the delivery of the virus, and a large (albeit unspecified) amount of additional Attackers are found inside the ship after it crashes. The hangar of a City Destroyer therefore has a capacity of at least five hundred attacker craft.

Video game

In the video game, the alien attackers are officially called "Agile Fighters", and come in three forms, BAC-A, BAC-B, and BAC-R, the latter two being exclusive to the game.

BAC-A

BAC-B

BAC-R

The BAC-R has two visible cockpits, suggesting it is piloted by two aliens.
