Battlestar
The largest and most powerful ship in the colonial Fleet. The Battlestar is designed to take to the fight to the enemy and show no mercy. Capable of long grueling patrol, escort, and assault missions without the need of support vessels the Battlestar is truly a vessel to fear. Unfortunately the time and money it takes to make and train a Battlestar and its crew leaves it's number lacking. To defend against Cylon computer attacks the Battlestar's have no integrated computer systems and few of its systems are fully automated, meaning the ship requires a crew of roughly 5,000 to operate while it can, in a severe pinch, work with as few as 2,800. Though it can be said with some truth in the statement that when one appears on the battlefield even the Cylons take pause to contemplate retreat.

Asgard-Class Battlecruiser
The backbone of the Colonial Military the Asgard-Class Battlecruiser is smaller and less armed and armored their larger Battlestar cousins they are nonetheless a fast and agile warships capable of going toe-to-toe with the Hades-Class Basestar and having a good chance of coming out on top. However, against the larger and more heavily armed Tartarus-Class Bacestar the Asgard Class can only run using its superior speed to get away. Only in numbers does this ship have a chance.

Viper Mark VII
The newest and most advanced of the Colonial Vipers, the Mark VII is in every sense superior to its Mark II predecessor. Marks III-VI were all test bed used to make various improvements to the Viper design. Sporting 3 KEW weapons over the Mark II's 2 the Mark VII is also more agile, faster, and more fuel efficient. But all this come with a price. When first introduced the Mark VII was a fly by wire, meaning she was operated by a networked computer. When the Cylons began to use a system that attacked networked computers the Mark VII's computer was reprogrammed to fly without the networked computer, however, the Viper Mark VII was no designed to operate with such a system so now the fighter can only be flowned by the most experienced pilots and as such reserved for either the Commander Air Group (CAG) or the lead squadron of a Battlestar.
DIMENSIONS:
  • 32.3 feet (~9.8 meters) Long.
  • 18.4 feet (~5.6 meters) Wingspan.
  • 9.7 feet (~3.0 meters Height.

  • 6 Missles or 2 Heavy Bombs

Viper Mark II
Considered the granddaddy of all contemporary Viper designs the Viper Mark II in its 40 years if service has proven to be a fast and capable fighter design even with the more modern Mark VII entering service. Fast and agile the Viper Mark II sports a decent amount of fire power for a ship it's size, able to fly on an even level with both the Wing-Type and Sparrow-Type Cylon raiders; more over in the hands of an experienced pilot the Mark II can keep pace with the Mark VII. And do to not being built with an integrated computer system is invulnerable to Cylon cyber attacks. in short in spite of it's age the Mark II is not going anywhere
DIMENSIONS:
  • 27.6 feet (~8.4 meters) Long.
  • 8.9 feet (~2.7 meters) Wingspan.
  • 15.5 feet (~4.7) meters Height.

WEAPONS:
  • 2 Kinetic Energy Weapons, (mounted on wings),
  • 6 Missles or 2 Heavy Bombs

COMPLIMENT:
