Raynor's Raiders are a unit of Terran troops in the StarCraft universe, led by Jim Raynor. The group frequently includes Protoss among its number, especially when Fenix was a part of the group.

Raynor's Raiders were created when Raynor turned against the Sons of Korhal and escaped from Tarsonis.

They next appeared on Char as they tried to rescue Sarah Kerrigan from the Zerg. They were too late, and Kerrigan would have destroyed them if not for her feelings for Raynor. Raynor's exact whereabouts were unknown after that, but he eventually met up with Tassadar and would play a big role in his battle against the Protoss Conclave and the destruction of the Zerg Overmind.

Jim Raynor and Fenix became great friends and remained on Aiur when the Protoss largely abandoned it. In addition to defending the Warp Gate, they also attacked the fusion power plants for the Psi Disruptor on Braxis and rescued Arcturus Mengsk from the clutches of the United Earth Directorate as part of their plan to defeat the UED.

The group was nearly destroyed when Sarah Kerrigan turned against them on Korhal; most of the Protoss members were killed, including Fenix.

Despite Kerrigan's wretched betrayal, Raynor swore revenge for the killing of his friend Fenix, and left the region destitute of any speculation of his whereabouts.
