[[File:BSGv2 - temporal wipeout.png|thumb|A temporal wipeout of two {{alt|Cylons|TOS|Cylon}} {{alt|Raider|TOS}}s resulting from a temporal warper's strike during the [[Nebula Ambush]] ({{comics|vol3|1}}).]] | |||
'''Temporal weapons''' are, as their name implies, weapons affecting time. They are expressly outlawed by the Colonials for just concerns about their wide-ranging, uncontrollable effects ({{comics|vol2|1}}). | |||
[[Yahren]]s into their exodus, {{alt|Adama|TOS}} resorts to the use of a temporal weapon designed by {{alt|Zee}}, called the "time warper," in the face of certain destruction by an overwhelming force of {{alt|Cylons|TOS|Cylon}} {{alt|basestar|TOS}}s. The weapon's temporal battery aboard ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' destabilizes during the assault, causing the creation of an [[alternate reality]] where ''Galactica'' never existed ({{comics|vol2|1}} & {{comics|vol2|3|short=y}}). | |||
[[Warriors]] in [[Temporal Viper]]s housing the time warper, {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} and {{alt|Starbuck|TOS}}, are temporally displaced in aforesaid reality ({{comics|vol2|2}}). From the capture of Starbuck's Viper, a {{alt-r|Zee|treacherous version of Zee}} reverse-engineers weapons and a propulsion drive based upon temporal principles, outfitting them aboard [[Baltifer]]'s [[Baltifer's basestar|basestar]] ({{comics|vol2|4}}). | |||

[[File:BSGv2 - temporal battery.png|thumb|left|A temporal battery overloads during the [[Nebula Ambush]], leading to the creation of an [[alternate reality]] ({{comics|vol2|1}}).]] | |||
=== Temporal Warper === | |||
The {{inlineref|temporal warper}} is an offensive weapon, capable of displacing a target's existence from the time stream, effectively rendering them in a state of having never existed at all. This has the ripple-effect of affecting other outcomes. | |||
=== Temporal Battery === | |||
A {{inlineref|temporal battery}} harnessing temporal energy is constructed and used by Zee in order to charge the temporal warper weapons of the two [[Temporal Viper]] prototypes. It destabilizes due to the intense damage ''Galactica'' incurs during the [[Nebula Ambush]] to unpredictable results ({{comics|vol2|1}}). | |||

[[File:BSGv2 - Baltifer's basestar.png|thumb|[[Baltifer]]'s [[Baltifer's basestar|basestar]] fires its [[chronal cannon]] at [[Cache]] ({{comics|vol2|4}}).]] | |||
The {{inlineref|chronal cannon}} is a large-scale weapon installed aboard [[Baltifer's basestar]], and is the only known cannon of its type in existence. | |||
Its test deployment occurs upon [[Cache]], the [[Colonial Resistance]] base, reverting the planet's tectonic plates to an "ancient patter" ({{comics|vol2|4}}). | |||

[[File:BSGv2 - Temporal Warp Drive.png|thumb|left|[[Baltifer]]'s [[Baltifer's basestar|Baltifer's basestar]] uses its [[temporal warp drive]] to instantaneously arrive at [[Cache]] ({{comics|vol2|4}}).]] | |||
=== Temporal Warp Drive === | |||
An instantaneous [[FTL]] drive is also reverse-engineered by Zee, and dubbed the {{inlineref|temporal warp drive}}. It literally punches a hole in space and allows a ship to appear anywhere, without the need for waiting between destination points. While not a direct weapon in its own right, it is derived from the principles of the temporal warper, thus permitting Baltifer's basestar to follow the incongruous ''{{alt-r|Galactica}}'', commanded by Captain {{alt-r|Starbuck}} (alongside a {{alt|Starbuck|TOS|temporally displaced Starbuck}}), and inopportunely appears above Cache ({{comics|vol2|4}}). | |||
