Description

These starfaring behemoths are the principal expression of Cylon power throughout known space. A Base Ship can dwarf the Battlestar Galactica. In fact, these gargantuan battle carriers overmatch the Galactica in nearly every tactical respect. Base ships are designed to make hyperlight jumps and are equipped to deploy large-scale strikes with high-yield nuclear ordnance. They carry at least 250 Raider fighters on their exterior service pods, and an indeterminate number of additional fighters inside. Unknown at this time is whether the base ships contain manufacturing facilities to replenish their complement of Raiders. No estimates of crew complement for base ships are currently available. Although the staggering number of Raiders they can deploy on a moment's notice suggests an enormous crew. The internal workings of this vessal are contolled by the cylon hybrid {who/which} acts as a main computer guiding ships operations.

Trivia
