This article is about the Original Series basestar. For the re-imagined version, see Basestar (RDM).
In the Original Series, a basestar is a large capital warship of the Cylon Alliance.
Basestars are immense vehicles that, like their Colonial counterparts, the battlestars, serve as a combination aircraft carrier and capital warship. Armed with missiles, lasers, and a battlestar-destroying pulsar weapon, the capital warship of the Cylon Alliance was more than a match for any unprepared or unaware battlestar. Basestars are also designed for orbital bombardment of a planet, and, true to its name, also serves as a moving base of operations for the few reptilan Cylon commanders still alive.
Basestars, and their fighters were key in the Cylon's genocidal destruction of the Twelve Colonies and the battlestar fleet. Only battlestar Galactica was known to have survived the initial holocaust, and gathered an odd assortment of civilian spacecraft with the remnants of Humanity, leaving the dead Colonies behind in search of the 13th Colony--Earth.
