Faction Event that allows Officers to Summon Raid Bosses using Intel Folders (*New item). A Raid Boss is very Similar to the regular Boss event However you can Summon different Levels of Raid Bosses. The higher the level you summon the more Intel Folders it will cost to summon and the more health it will have...but the prizes get better as well. It also appears to be possible to summon more than one raid boss at a time if they are different levels.
*Intel Folders appear "randomly" when doing Missions. Or you can purchase 10 for 10 gold
The Raid Boss once summoned will be up for 2 hours to defeat (although reports from KA is sometimes the time up could be as short as 15 min for specific goals). Everyone in the faction can fight the raid boss and do a certain amount of damage in order to qualify for prizes (I assume that damage is determined as a percentage of the total health of the boss)
When you Fight a Raid Boss you will have 2 options to hit the boss. 1 will be Normal Attack that is equivalent to doing a cash hit on the Epic Boss and one is a Power Attack that is equivalent to doing 5x normal hits (but requires you to have 100 health). One big difference between the Raid Boss and the Epic Boss is that you CAN'T USE THE 2 HIT METHOD. In this sense it acts just like it does in WD events in that you need 25 health to get one hit in. Having 26 health won't give you the opportunity to hit the boss 2x.
Everyone who does the Minimum damage required to a raid boss will earn a prize. Once the Raid boss has been summoned check the Leaderboard to see what the minimum damage requirement on that boss is (as well as how much damage you have already done). If you don't meet the minimum requirement you won't get the prize (This will require a team effort to be rewarded). At the same time if someone defeats the boss on their own or too quickly then no one else in the faction can benefit from the prizes.
After a raid boss is defeated, you can check the history to see the leaderboard for the boss and what prize you earned.
In addition i expect we will see a LTQ Raid Boss as well with Normal and Prestige Mode:
