You know, I am unsure about that and now I’m curious. I’m gonna look into it and I’ll let you know if I find anything!
So the answer is just incredibly simple and kinda disappointing. Raptor wasn’t used as often as Bird of Prey during the 60s. That’s it. However @wombatula (fucking amazing name) is right. There is a Raptor-Class that I knew absolutely nothing about at the time.
afaik it’s only appeared in that regrettable Enterprise episode with the Klingons, I’m not entirely certain but I’ve got faith of the heart that is correct.
I literally just told you, size. You can go look up the exact ship specifications if you want, the Raptor is a small scout ship, the BoP is a mid-size warship, and the Warbird is a full-sized warship.
Also what are you even talking about, what came into canon first? Of course the Bird of Prey, its from ToS, I do not understand how that is relevant to the discussion.
