| The '''Taipan''' is a retrofitted fighter design of the [[First Cylon War (Deadlock)|First Cylon War]] used by [[Colonial Fleet (Deadlock)|Colonial forces]], supposedly of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobollian]] descent.
| |
|
| |
|
| Although it lacks the mobility of the [[Viper Mark II (Deadlock)|Viper]] in a dogfight, the twin-linked heavy cannons provide substantial anti-capital strike capability.
| |
|
| |
|
| == Notes ==
| | A Retrofitted fighter design supposedly of Kobolian descent. |
| * The Taipan is based on [[Ralph McQuarrie]]'s original [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] concept that found later use in ''[[Buckwiki:Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century|Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century]]''.
| |
| * Akin to the Viper, this ship's classification is named after [[W:Taipan|a venomous snake]].
