Cylon Spacecraft (TOS)

This page (like all pages on this wiki) was imported from the original English-language Battlestar Wiki based on what was available in the Wayback Machine in early 2017. You can see the archive of the original page here.

For information on the spacecraft used by the Cylons of the Re-imagined Series, see Cylon Spacecraft (RDM).

The Cylons have several support, scout and fighter craft to supplement the destructive power of their capital ship.

Basestars

Basestars are the capital attack ships of the Cylons. Able to launch Cylon Raiders at alarming numbers, and armed with weapons that could pulverize a planet's surface, the basestar is a Colonial battlestar's worst nightmare.

Raider

The Raider is the primary attack craft. Shaped like a convex flying wing, the Raider is crewed by three Centurions. A variant was seen as well that accommodated two Cylon androids (The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I).

Freighter

The freighter is a multiuse craft that serves as troop transport and tanker. The tanker mode was used to great effect in the Cylon's ruse at the Battle of Cimtar.
