| | == Overview == |
|
| |
|
| A '''battlestar''' is a [[Colonial]] capital warship that combines the roles of a space fighter carrier and battleship. Battlestars are the adversarial counterpart to the [[Cylon]] [[basestar]].
| | Battlestars are a heavy class of human-controlled Colonial craft, that combine the functions of aircraft carrier and battle cruiser. |
|
| |
|
| Battlestars have differing appearances and abilities in both the the [[Original Series]] and [[Re-imagined Series]].

| ==Notes==
| | *Viper squadrons comprise 20 vehicles apiece, generally supported by a single Raptor. |
| *Battlestar Wiki maintains official information on the ''Battlestar Galactica'' officially-licensed episodes, movies, and publications only. [[Fan fiction]] sources that discuss other ships (particularly fan-based clubs that use ship "names") are not permitted in this wiki. | | *The Raptors can also be used to deploy Colonial Marine detachments to the surface of planets or to storm other vessels. Raptors are equipped with a docking collar and accessway in their undersides for this latter role (''Bastille Day'') |
| | * Viper operations are overseen by the CAG - Commander Air Group, the most senior pilot aboard a battlestar. |
|
| |
|
| *A common [[fan fiction]] belief is that the Original Series battlestar ''{{TOS|Columbia|Columbia}}'' was also the class name for these battlestars. No [[BW:CJ|official sources]] confirm this point.
