Erebus's basestar

The Basestar commanded by the Imperious Leader Erebus appears in the Battlestar Galactica video game and is an uprated variant of the Basestar (TOS) capital ship. Erebus's Basestar was similar in most respects to the standard Basestar vessel, with the addition of a satallite craft called the Cradle Unit. Built into the upper spindle of Erebus's command ship, the disc-shaped Cradle Unit could detach from the mother vessel and was equipped with powerful weapons and a virtually impregnable force shield. Erebus's Basestar was the only known variant of its kind and it was destroyed in orbit around the gas giant planet Golem Five; the Cradle Unit fled into the planet's atmosphere with Erebus on board, only to be shot down by the young Lt. William "Husker" Adama.
