| The '''''Berzerk''-class''' assault carrier is a [[Colonial Fleet]] battleship in operation during the [[First Cylon War]]. Considered a "pocket-size" ship, ''Berzerk''-class carrier features additional firepower and squadron support.
| |
|
| |
| Its primary mission profile is for deployment within a [[Battlestar group]] or other strike force, as this carrier is not designed for standalone prolonged engagements (''[[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock: Reinforcement Pack]]''). Therefore, it has found use as a "rapid reaction" vessel on the front lines.<ref name="spacedock">{{cite_web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96J0TM1wWng|title=Battlestar Galactica: Berserk Class Assault Carrier - Deadlock Proving Grounds - Spacedock

| |
|
| |
| Despite its unbalanced nature, ''Berzerk''-class ships remained in service long after the end of the First Cylon War, up until the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].
| |
|
| |
| == Abilities ==
| |
|
| |
| ''Berzerk''-class carriers feature advanced [[DRADIS]], communication, and firewall systems. In addition to being [[FTL]] capable, this ship class utilizes the mainstay magnetic [[launch tube (RDM)|launch tube]]s, strike craft maintenance facilities, and landing zones for larger utility vehicles and transports.<ref name="spacedock-spec"/>
| |
|
| |
| Its weapons are arranged for broadside attacks, with turret batteries amidship both port and starboard of the [[flight deck]].
| |
|
| |
| == Design ==
| |
|
| |
| ''Berzerk''-class carriers feature many of the design hallmarks of the [[battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]], including the "alligator" head bow and large sublight engine block stern. Differentiating it from a battlestar, the mid-section is narrow and lightly armored, thus making these weak points resulting in a [[wiktionary:glass cannon|glass cannon]]—a ship with great offensive potential, but poor defensive weaknesses. Ergo it's inability to defend itself without being part of a [[Battlestar group]] or other strike force that compensates for that deficiency.<ref name="spacedock"/>
| |
|
| |
| Its landing bays are considered its greatest feature, not only for their size but their placement on the ventral hull, which are underslung lengthways. As with most battlestars, the landing bay is open to space at both its bow and stern. It is capable of carrying civilian transports and utility vessels, and features robust maintenance facilities making them great support ships for strike wings.<ref name="spacedock"/>
| |
|
| |
| == Role ==
| |
|
| |
| ''Berzerks'' are never deployed in command roles, given their weaknesses as lead capital ships, and inability to properly defend itself. Thus they are relegated to support roles, in addition to rapid deployment and support platforms for strike wings.
| |
|
| |
| Its tactical abilities lay in its powerful DRADIS system, which forces hostile vessels to circumnavigate Colonial groups to avoid detection.<ref name="spacedock"/>
| |
|
| |
| == Notes ==
| |
| According to the Spacedock promotional video, the following quote is attributed to [[Marissa Yazov]], [[Colonial Fleet]] Air Group Engineer:
| |
| : ''It's not going to win any battles by itself, but the hangar design is one of the best in the fleet. No surprise it's a favourite (sic) of most CAGs.''
| |
| * The Spacedock promotional video uses the erroneous spelling of "Berserk." For clarity purposes, and as per the game, the article is named "Berzerk."
