The TOUGHEST Battlestar! - Jupiter-class Battlestar Galactica Breakdown

[@patta8388]

The Galactica during the first Cylon War as seen in "Blood and Chrome" is an absolute fucking beast

[@uc3362]

The GALACTICA is one of my favorite ship and design! She is old, hard, and never give up even at her most weaker stateHer back broke after her last FTL jump but she stay in one piece for the survival of her remaining crew. I even think she is the leader of the Pythea's prophecy. In it, the leader would be dying, would have a vision of two group of snakes and will never lived on to live on Earth. GALACTICA was dying of old age all along the show, in th battle of the Tylium asteroid, she unleash two different squadrons of Vipers (Two group of snakes) and when they reach Earth, she was finally launch in the Sun just after. For me, GALACTICA is the diyng leader as mush as president Roslin. I would call my Battlestar ARTEMIS. I like it.

[@leeroberts1192]

She only broke her back as the flight pods hadn't been retracted back in

[@keonisan]

her back breaking was one of the WORST plot devices of the reboot, what if the ship was needed when they reached Earth? It would have been nice to have it for colonizing other parts near Earth too.

[@uc3362]

@@leeroberts1192 Yes you are right. The jump was made in a hurry. But the damages she has sustain was already to mush. She would't have last very long after the battle anyway.

[@uc3362]

@@keonisan They choose it to push their idea of leaving behind their advanced technology to restart anew. We can or can't accept their plot but that's what they decided. And, in contrast with other show who were exploited for to long, GALACTICA have an end. Plus, they could have colonize other parts near Earth with ships of the fleet who were still fonctionnal.

[@atlantianson515]

@@uc3362 I believe at the end (which was stupid) they sent ALL their ships into the sun. A people at that level of technology and accustomed to living the way they had, wouldn't suddenly decide to dive into the stone age and begin again. It doesn't make sense. That would be like us today, turning on backs on everything we have, burning it down because we suddenly discovered we'd rather live in caves. Nope not buying, then or now.

[@sjTHEfirst]

I would call my Battlestar the “Lollipop”! It would be a good ship.

Different genre, but Will Riker would approve.

[@davidwright9092]

It was just commissioned.

[@TheBigExclusive]

In the comics, the Galactica was capable of crash landing on a planet with all her crew surviving. The crew repaired the ship and went back into space. The Galactica was insanely tough in the comics and took a beating.

[@keonisan]

I would have called mine the Agamemnon, in honor of the ship from B5, like Captain Sheridan, continuous forward fire and ramming would be tactics I would use.

[@RoballTV]

Great vid, she really took everything thrown at her 🙂 As for your question, I'd name mine based Galacticas ability to kick butt and keep going. So it'd be the Battlestar Galvanise. 💣💫

[@Gpz0]

Battlestar name should be something related to crocodiles, so Sobek for the Egyptian God or Sarcosuchus for the dinosaur. Battlestar Anubis also sounds good.

[@bl8danjil]

I would love to see the visual differences between Galactica's armor and guns and when they were incorporated or taken away according to the time line of the war.

[@alasdairgardiner2313]

Great video! I love the Jupiter class Battlestar. Mine would be the Battlestar Fantastica BSG-83.

[@Dragon_Werks]

As a lifelong model builder, sci-fi kits are my most favorite genre. I'm building a Mercury Block III Battlestar named BSG-88 "THANATOS". She has a massively upgraded weapons loadout.

[@vic5015]

Named after the Greek God of death. I like it.

[@adamczechowski614]

Just found this channel. Lookin good. The "Achilles," IS my battlestar. I would give her the "valkyrie" treatment, as in sliming her down by deleting everything under the flight pods. Post War build obviously, taking advantage of crew saving systems. Still be wary of networks and digital systems. A carrier, not a battleship. Have to make a bomber viper to ass to the air wing. "Cobra?" Using a single engine from a Raptor.

[@Malbeefance]

Battlestar Athena: an original series Columbia class ship.

[@alexejfrohlich5869]

Not sure how well "Watchtower" would be of a name for a BS -- but I have a feeling the name would be fitting, somehow 😜

[@annoyed707]

It really IS in the ship!

[@TheBigExclusive]

12:00 - Saul Tigh said it would take 6 weeks just to hammer out the dents. But I believe he made that comment before the Battle of New Caprica. . . . . It's definitely much worse after the battle.

[@John.S92]

"in drydock" I think I remember it was, implying those 6 weeks out of drydock would proobably be x10 seeing as the ship would have to remain combat-ready and able to function, take into consideration as well that the Galactica likely lacked enough personnel, let alone trained mechanics&repair personnel, yeah, 60 weeks if that'd even be enough.. After the the battle of New Caprica coupled with the ship having done that maneauver in-atmo, the "calculation of how much more time needed after" -calculator now just reads "TBD" (to be decided/still calculating)

[@annoyed707]

@@John.S92 Are those Caprican weeks? Anybody do the conversion to Centons?

[@atlantianson515]

I believe I would call my Battlestar (regardless of the class), Atlantis. In the Star Trek Realm, my Galaxy Class ship is the Atlantis. While the re-imagined series ran longer, the original was best, partly because they used lasers, laser cannons, and energy weapons, instead of artillery. Preferred the oringinal Vipers as well, along with the pilots' uniforms. Great Video! Thanks!

[@vic5015]

RDM made a deliberate choice not to use fancy, exotic energy weapons. Sticking to missiles (nukes) and bullets instead.

[@atlantianson515]

@@vic5015 I think there is an major inconsistency there: they have FTL but rely on limited supply artillery bullets, so when RDM's Vipers run out of ammo they need to return to reload during a fight. I just don't like it. I also didn't like changing original character male characters to female characters. Basically, I watched it because there was nothing else on to watch, but IMHO the remake sucked.

[@vic5015]

​@@atlantianson515perhaps they never mastered the tech for high-power energy weapons.

[@atlantianson515]

@@vic5015 I don't believe that. Laser technology is relatively simple compare to FTL travel. We have lasers today, but we do not have FTL drives for our ships. It is just a weakness in the story writing, a decision made and then they were stuck with it.

[@neondemon5137]

Boomer take, the RDM BSG is orders of magnitude better than the original.

[@gregb1599]

I am just glad they fixed that severe design flaw from the original series, I mean, the cylons just loved to crash into those open hanger landing decks!

[@hughbarton5743]

Nelson. The greatest admiral of all time, mortally wounded, both arms now blown off. His statement: " I can only hope I did my duty".....HIs name has become synonymous with Impetuous courage and fearless action. No better name for a battlestar. A great ship for a desperate fight.

[@geraldapollyon655]

My Battlestar would be the Ancalagon, and it would be the Blood and Chrome refit of the Jupiter-class.

[@UnicornGamingRX03]

The Jupiter class I have in mind would be Battlestar ‘Barbatos’ BS-13, then refitted into a Jupiter II Battlestar ‘Barbatos Lupus’ and lastly if it was a modified Jupiter with an extra set of Battlestar Artillery seen in BSG Blood & Chrome it would be Battlestar ‘Barbatos Lupus Rex’. The Battlestar’s name is based off the ASW-G-13 Barbatos from Mobile suit Gundam Iron-blooded Orphans.

[@vic5015]

A really tough old bird. Keep in mind, we find out in the miniseries that Galactica is about to be decommissioned and turned into a museum. As part of that, mosg of her armor and weapons have already been removed. She still had the old-school Vipers becauss they were to be an exhibit in ths museum. One can only imagine how much more formidable she was in her heyday.

[@vic5015]

Another thing I seem to recall from the miniseries is an explanation of why we only ever see Galactica use one of her flight pods. If I'm not mistaken, it's stated that the other one has been inactivated and all of the equipment for launching, recovering, and storing fighters removed. The reason? The space was fo become the gift shop for the museum. Additionally, because of her status, repair and maintenance work on Galactica has basically stopped. Permanently. And her level of combat readiness is essentially F triple minus. And the crew is about as far from the fleet's best and brightest as you can get while still being a soldier.

[@HrLBolle]

as is her Commanding officer Cmdr. Adama was part of the Forces that carried out the initial attack of the Ghost Fleet Offensive as well as part of operation Raptor Talon right at the closure and Armistice of the first Cylon War, further he was one of the chosen Pilots to fly the then new Viper Mk. III If it weren't for the failure of the stealth star recognisance mission of which Adama was acting commander aboard "Battlestar Valkyrie (BSG41)", he would have risen to senior Rank and probably died in the Bombing of Picon Fleet headquarters. Point is Cmdr. Adama is a black ops operative, a fact that Adm. Helena Cain probably is not knowledgeable about.

[@DerpyPenguin4747]

Battlestar Hammond of Texas with YEE-HAW written on the ships seal.

Yes, and make it have armor not capable of withstanding fire from ships it's designed to fight, only to take it up against ships an order of magnitude more powerful, with improper ammunition handling and disabled flash protection all for a few seconds off the reload,

Ahh the vital drinking water. If only there was some water in space. It was a great series, it makes the original look like the silly 70s shlock that it was, but I admit I could not wait for the next episode every week when I was a kid.

@@wheeljork the original aged pretty well up into the 90s, I remember watching marathons on the Syfy channel when I was a kid and really enjoying it. I've only seen clips of it since seeing the new series, and oh boy does it look dated now

[@cherokee43v6]

I've come up with a couple for fanfics I've worked on... 'Phoenix' and 'Argentum Tonitrui' (Silver Thunder). The first was a Mercury. The second never had a class designated but could easily be a Jupiter... It was originally for a NewBSG/BOLO crossover but I like the name and have used it elsewhere. :) In the same story where I have the 'Phoenix' I also have a Jupiter called 'Ra'. (Original BSG had a heavy Egyptian influence - look at the flight helmets. The story is intended as a bridge between the two series, with original BSG taking place chronologically after NewBSG.) A ship that had been handed over to the Tauron planetary guard. There is also another (heavily damaged) Mercury called the 'Golden Hind'. Referred to by one of the characters by them saying "Welcome aboard the 'Shiny Deer', biggest fracking gunstar in the fleet."

Ever since the Early 80s I've had this fantasy about a Movie where The Galactica unwittingly reaches the border of Federation Space sometime just after the TMP era. They see some confusing images on their sensors and hear communications in what sounds like Caprican!! Then the Fleet is confronted by a Fleet of Federation Starships!! When Communications are established The Lead Federation Ship informs Adama that their home Planet "Terra Prime" is also known as "Earth"! Adama informs Federation HQ of the Cylons who have been following them since the annihilation of their homeworlds. When the Cylons cross into Federation Space, they find themselves facing an enemy of which they are no match!! They try to form an alliance with the Klingons only to be ridiculed and laughed at! "The Klingon Empire has no need for race of Robots or their obsolete technology!

Battlestar Titan, a ship that is quite a bit larger than most with the Jupiter and Mercury blended design

[@crhu319]

Battlestar Phoebe. Most central figure in all of Greek mythos. Phoebe the Titan [3], daughter of Uranus and Gaia, sister of Kronos, mother of Leto thus grandmother of Apollo and Artemis (sheltered at birth by Phoebe's other daughter Asteria who became the sacred island of Delos "the actual and symbolic centre of the Aegean") and mother-in-law to Zeus (!), grandmother also to witchcraft goddess Hecate. Phoebe receives the Oracle of Delphi site from her sister Themis (through which she is also sister-in-law to Zeus). Themis had it from their mother Gaia) before gifting it to Apollo. Her name, meaning "bright", was also given to a number of lunar goddesses like Artemis and later the Roman goddesses Luna and Diana, but Phoebe herself was not actively treated as a moon goddess in her own right in ancient mythology. There is no more central name in Greco-Roman myth and no more central location in Greek culture than Corinth, which was destroyed by Alexander the Great then rebuilt by him. Also according to the Bible, Paul sent a conveyor of Christianity to Rome with that name, from Corinth. So shes also a diplomatic ship.

Anyways I get it from a story standpoint and it was a badass set piece for the show and I saw it when it first aired and it was epic. I can’t remember if Farscape was still running then but I know some of the Stargate shows were still around. Friday nights for TV sci-fi at that time couldn’t have been better.
