The technology of the Colonials is extremely advanced.
Armament
Laser-based weapons dominate the weapons of the Colonials. From personal weapons (laser pistol, laser bola) to fighter craft (laser torpedo equipped Vipers) to capitol ships (laser battery equipped battlestars, the Colonials primarily rely on lasers for their firepower ("Saga of a Star World", "The Man with Nine Lives").
Vehicles
The main mode of transportation is space travel. The vast majority of the Fleet consists of sub-lightspeed capable, unarmed civilian craft. The most notable exception to this is Galactica, which is capable of moving at lightspeed (Experiment in Terra). Transporting people to the ground is usually either accomplished using shuttles or in Viper fightercraft ("The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I","Saga of a Star World").
Ground transportation is primarily accomplished with landrams. When conditions warrant, the arctic variant of the landram, the snowram, can be brought to bear (Saga of a Star World,The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I).
No known marine vessels exist.
Communication
A handheld translator device, the languatron, facilitates communication with other species and cultures where the Colonial language is not spoken (Saga of a Star World).
