Battlestar

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide

A battlestar is a Colonial capital warship that combines the roles of a space fighter carrier and battleship. Battlestars are the adversarial counterpart to the Cylon basestar.

Notes

• Battlestar Wiki maintains official information on the Battlestar Galactica officially-licensed episodes, movies, and publications only. Fan fiction sources that discuss other ships (particularly fan-based clubs that use ship "names") are not permitted in this wiki.

• A common fan fiction belief is that the Original Series battlestar Columbia was also the class name for these battlestars. No official sources confirm this point.
