| '''Caprica Marine Aircraft'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> are vehicles employed by the [[Caprican Marine Corps]] in the years prior to the [[First Cylon War]], including [[Viper (TRS)|Viper]]s and [[Wikipedia:VTOL|vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft]].
| |
| | |
| Fifty-eight years before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], the Caprican Military dispatch two of these aircraft to pursue an escaped [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylon]] prototype from [[Graystone Industries]], among them a [[Phoenix]]-type jet ([[CAP]]: "[[End of Line]]").
| |
| | |
| Some months later, a squadron of [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit]]s operate several Marine aircraft in an assault on [[Soldiers of the One]] terrorists, landing on the field of [[Atlas Arena]] and engaging the attackers in a [[Battle of Atlas Arena|firefight]] ([[CAP]]: "[[Apotheosis (episode)|Apotheosis]]").
| |
| | |
| These vehicles employ [[DRADIS]] technology ([[CAP]]: "[[End of Line]]", "[[Apotheosis]]").

| ==Notes==
| |
| *The [[Caprican Viper|Caprican Marine Viper]] appears in the episode "[[The Imperfections of Memory]]" in a [[virtual world]] flight simulator.
| |
| | |
| *One of the Caprican Marine Aircraft seen in "End of Line" is identified in materials created by [[Doug Drexler]] for 2010 [[Wikipedia: Creative Arts Emmy Award|Emmy Awards]] voters as a Phoenix jet, which also appears in ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]'' as several civilian aircraft. <ref>http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2010/09/12/caprica-2010-emmy-presentation-book/</ref>
| |
| | |
| *The second VTOL has gone unnamed, but can be seem in "End of Line" and "Apotheosis". It appears to be comprised of elements of modern military aircraft including the [[Wikipedia: Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk|SH-60 Seahawk]] and the [[Wikipedia: Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey|Boeing V-22 Osprey]].
| |
| | |
| *Each of these aircraft is marked with the distinctive pentagonal shape seen on the [[Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raider]] of [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|The Original Series]] and the similar [[Raider (RDM)#Cylon War-era Raider|Cylon War-era Raider]] in the [[Battlestar Galactica (TRS)|Re-imagined Series]], suggesting a possible link between Caprican technology and that used by the Cylons in the [[First Cylon War]].
