Unidentified Cylon Ship from Kobol's Last Gleaming Part II

I captured this image several months ago while making a BSG ships desktop icons set. I forgot about it because it was of such poor quality and barely resolved and I planned to find a Zoic render of it once it had been identified in Season 2. As it has not been seen since (to the best of my knowledge), I was hoping that someone on the BSG Wiki has some ideas as to what it is.

At first glance it looks to me like a freighter, but it's of such an un-cylon-like design it makes me wonder if it's not a captured colonial ship.

Any clues?

• I commend you on your eagle-eye and depth of thoughtfulness. As far as further analysis on the purpose of this ship? Hopefully our resident military enthusiasts will chime in. --Watcher 04:34, 17 October 2005 (EDT)

Actually, they look like fuel tankers from TOS. -- Joe Beaudoin 10:06, 17 October 2005 (EDT)

I think you're right about that: http://www.cylon.org/bsg/bsg-others-01.html

Can we make a tentative addition to the Cylon ships roster?

Feel free. -- Joe Beaudoin 11:47, 17 October 2005 (EDT)

When does this occur duing KLG Part II? I'll try to track it down. Are you sure about the source for this? --Ricimer 12:17, 17 October 2005 (EDT)

Hi Ricimer, I'm sure about the source, as I personally captured it off the UK DVD release of Season One last spring. The scene is brief and I'm quite sure that it occurs as Boomer and Racetrack aproach the Basestar. It's been a while, so I'm not positive of the scene, but it's near the end, when we get a few glimpses of the Cylon Heavy Raiders (which are what I was initially trying to capture). MASON
