Comments:
The fulcrum on which all Colonial battle tactics rest, the Colonial Viper is the sole remaining space fighter used by Colonial forces. Launched from Galactica along magnetic rails, this single-seat fighter sports a powerful triple set of rockets capable of limited turbo blasts that allow the fighter to outrun almost any other ship in the known universe. Piloted by the Colony’s elite – known as warriors – any one Colonial Viper is more than a match for even an entire wing of raiders.
Points of Interest:
Classic Colonial Viper is based on the original Battlestar Galactica televison series, and is related to the current series in name only...or at least until some EU story links the two series somehow.
