The Minerva-class light battlestar is a Colonial Fleet battleship in operation during the First Cylon War.
An Minerva-class' primary mission profile is as a capital ship destroyer due to its "glass cannon" nature, with a large emphasis on weapons at the cost of armor and size (Battlestar Galactica Deadlock: The Broken Alliance).
Minerva is the predecessor of the Mercury-class battlestar in operation before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.[2]
Abilities[edit]
As a capital ship killer, Minerva is fitted with missile tubes and high-grade artillery cannons across both bow and dorsal frames. Heavy and medium guns line the ventral hull and flight pods.[2]
For fighter and support ship defense, rapid-targeting point defense cannons line port and starboard sides. Due to the minimal armor plating, many weapons are easily mounted on numerous hardpoints across Minerva's structure.[2]
Design[edit]
Following the design aesthetic of the Artemis-class, Minerva is a more compact iteration that reduces bulk and endurance in favor of large offensive potential. As a result of its compact size, Minerva spearheads the light battlestar sub-class, leading to later iterations such as Valkyrie- and Orion-class battlestar.[2]
Role[edit]
Minervas were built for one purpose: surgical, speedy elimination of capital warships.[2]
Notes[edit]
- According to the Spacedock promotional video, the following quote is attributed to Sandy Mason, a senior strategist at Colonial Fleet Academy:
- She's a weapon of finesse. Not a blunt instrument.
