File talk:Destroyed Battlestar Mini.JPG

I believe this to be an "Original BattleStar" class...while its not clear which Battlestar she is, at the time of the miniseries production, this was the only other shot with a Battlestar that we see...and the likely hood that they designed an entirely new CG Model for this shot is slim given Bugetary concerns..though she may been intended to be a newer class of ship in the script.(Wondering if this is covered in the Novelization?) If you look closely though...it does appear that this Battlestar still has all her exterior Armour plating attached...unlike Galactica who had been partially stripped prior to decomisioning.--Stratohead

A) It is impossible to tell from this shot if the armor is there or not or whatever. B) We've pretty much settled upon the idea that the Novelization is in no way canoncial (although it's fun for several tidbits). C) I think we also figured out that the original battlestar class, "Galacitca-type Battlestars", weren't all retired: what Doral meant by "last of her kind" is that Galactica was never given major upgrades and refits, while the other ones were; I think their hulls were heavily refitted. Sort of like how the USS Missouri saw service in both World War II and Persian Gulf I. --The Merovingian 12:39, 10 February 2006 (EST)
