Battlestar Galactica Tank Top

This unnamed class of Battlestar, dubbed here the Galactica-type, was the original class of battlestar constructed by the United Colonies of Kobol. An initial order of twelve, to represent the Twelve Colonies, followed by others, were constructed during the Cylon War due to a pressing need for well armed, armoured vessels reliant on un-networked computers, and being able to serve as carriers transporting fighter craft for intercepting Raiders. These ships were first put into service in the middle of the war, and were followed by a number of classes based on the design.
