The Minerva-class light battlestar is a Colonial Fleet battleship in operation during the First Cylon War.
A 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. These missile tubes can be retrofitted to also unleash mine, PCM, and EMP ordnance. 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]
Two wings of Vipers are assigned as standard to Minervas, while Raptor and other support craft are supplied as mission parameters dictate.
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]
This ability is firmly established after the battlestar Minerva, rushed into deployment, finds itself fighting—and successfully dispatching—three Arachnes that had destroyed one of Scorpia's secondary shipyards.[3]
Notable Ships[edit]
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.
- In the Roman pantheon, Minerva is the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare and the sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy.
