Laser-based weapons dominate the weapons of the Colonials.

However, these drones are not programmed with artificial intelligence, for fear of creating another race of machines like the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] (Saga of a Star World). | ||

The most notable exception to this is ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'', which is capable of moving at [[Propulsion (TOS)|lightspeed]] {{OS|Experiment in Terra}}. Transporting people to the ground is usually either accomplished using [[Colonial shuttle|shuttles]] or in Viper | The main mode of transportation is space travel.
