== Galactica type battlestars ==
== ''Galactica'' type ==


During the first [[Cylon War]], ''[[Columbia (TRS)|Columbia]]'', ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' and one other unnamed battlestar of [[Galactica type battlestar|their class]] conducted [[Operation Raptor Talon]] against the Cylons ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]").
During the First [[Cylon War]], an unnamed ''Galactica'' type Battlestar is seen hiding out in Cylon held space along side the Battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]'', the cruiser ''[[Osiris]]'' and heavy cruiser ''[[Loki]]'' ("[[Blood and Chrome]]").  


This battlestar class was still in service over 40 years later. One such battlestar is destroyed near [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] in the renewed [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]]. It is broken in two parts in the middle and seen by [[Karl Agathon]] and [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon Valerii]] when their Raptor cruises towards Caprica ([[TRS]]: "[[Miniseries]]").
Another unnamed ''Galactica'' type is seen participating in [[Operation Raptor Talon]], in cooperation with ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', and ''[[Columbia (RDM)|Columbia]]'' ("[[Razor Flashbacks]]").


At the same time at least one is docked at the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]]. There is some debate as to whether or not a second ship of this type is seen later during the bombing of the shipyards due to the fact that the ship is seen in a different area than during the initial view of the facility. However the ship which is destroyed is slightly different to [[Galactica]], the mid-section or body of this vessel is somewhat shorter than that of [[Galactica]], resulting in a more squat shape though still appearing to be larger than [[Pegasus]]. The ship was [[Fall of the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards|destroyed]] by Cylon missiles ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor]]"). Only one can be seen in the establishing shot of the shipyard, being enclosed by the superstructure on two sides.<ref>http://www.battlestarforum.com/album.php?albumid=68&pictureid=690</ref> However, during the battle, a ''Galactica''-type battlestar is shown in a different place.<ref>http://www.battlestarforum.com/album.php?albumid=68&pictureid=691</ref> This could mean that the visual effects of the establishing shot and the battle don't fit together. It is unknown if the two are meant to be the same battlestar.
