CYLON Basestar

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

Basestars are designed to make FTL jumps, they are equipped to deploy large-scale strikes with nuclear and conventional ordnance. Basestars are biomechanical entities, with fleshy 'hangars' to house Raiders. Basestars are, however, capable of carrying other Cylon models, as crew, within them.The Basestar's internal functions are controlled by a part-biological, part-machine central computer system known as the Hybrid. The biological part of the Hybrid is a female humanoid Cylon-like being, housed inside an immersion tank similar to a Cylon re-birthing tank and attached to the mechanical part of the Basestar computers by umbilicals.The Hybrid is not one of the 'twelve models' of humanoid Cylon, but is a separate model that effectively further bridges the gap from fully mechanical Centurion, to partially biomechanical Raider, to Hybrid, to humanoid Cylon. They are similar to the autonomous biomechanical pilots within Raiders, specially constructed as living computers that manage the autonomic functions of the Basestar, including navigation and FTL jumps, climate control, and the like. The Hybrids are so integrated into the Basestar's functionality that they are, for all practical purposes, the Basestar. #Basestar #battlestar #battlestar_galactica #Cylon #cylon_basestar #Galactica #tv
