HULL: 4 SPEED: 6 TURNS: 1/45 DAMAGE: 12/3 CREW: 12/4
TROOPS: 0 CRAFT: 0
TRAITS: FTL Engines, Lumbering, Point Defence 1
TF-C Cargo Carrier - equipped with Shuttles 3 to resupply warships

TF-T Troop Transport, which takes advantage of the classes bulky shape to cram troops, combat vehicles and additional shuttles into the cavernous cargo hold, Troops 4
TF-H - a hospital ship used to ferry the wounded back to bases or to act as large mobile hospitals. These ships had slightly better command and control facilities than their standard brethren as enemies liked to single them out for destruction early on in combat, especially full capacity ships. Command +1, Troops 2
HEPHAISTOS-class Forge Ship RAID 4 CFP
The onboard factories of the Forge Ships are always welcome to battle-worn fleets though these lightly-armed ships are little more than targets to an enemy. Forge Ships are carry raw supplies and the onboard factories to replenish a fleet no matter how fierce the campaign.
HULL: 4 SPEED: 8 TURNS: 1/45 DAMAGE: 30/6 CREW: 25/8
TROOPS: 1 CRAFT: 1 Raptor Flight
TRAITS: FTL Engines, Point Defence 3
THE CYLON EMPIRE
First designed as robotic soldiers for the Colonials, the Cylons rebelled against their masters and fought a vicious war. Following the war, the Cylons vanished into obscurity. When they returned, it was destroy their creators.
The Cylons Fleet has a lot less variety in it than a Colonial Fleet--Baseships and Raiders. The Raiders are the main strike force of the fleet, and deal with scouting, patrolling, attack and defence. The Baseship is the mother ship of the fleet, large and slow, but carrying a massive amount of fighters and heavy firepower, it is more than an equal for a Battlestar.
EARLY RAIDER PATROL
The disk-shaped Raider had a crew of three. It is slow, but heavily armed. Deployed in standard flights of 6 fighters.
HULL: 4 SPEED: 10 TURNS: SM DOGFIGHTING: +1
TRAITS: Atmospheric, Cylon, Dodge 4+, Fighter
Solenite Missiles 4 F 2 AP, DD, One-Shot
Twin Autocannon 3 F 2 TL
DEATH RAIDER PATROL
The crew of this disk-shaped Raider fill their craft with solenite explosives and then deliberately ram into Colonial warships. Deployed in standard flights of 6 fighters.
HULL: 4 SPEED: 10 TURNS: SM DOGFIGHTING: +1
TRAITS: Atmospheric, Cylon, Dodge 4+, Fighter
Twin Autocannon 3 F 2 TL
Ramming Run 0 F 1 Precise, SAP, TD
RAIDER WAVE PATROL
The newest design, these Raiders feature powerful KEW weaponry and the ability to launch 2 missiles as well supporting their own FTL. The sheer numbers of Raiders launched per Wave are their greatest strength.
Note, the Wave takes damage akin to a ship—it requires multiple hits to destroy the Wave. When the Wave is reduced to half strength, reduce all AD by half.
HULL: 4 SPEED: 15 TURNS: SM DAMAGE: 4 DOGFIGHTING: +4
TRAITS: Advanced FTL, Atmospheric, Dodge 4+, Cylon, Fighter
Solenite Missiles 6 T 2 AP, DD, Nuke, One-Shot
Twin Autocannon 2 T 12
I dropped damage to 4 from 6 as I find the Raider Waves never die in games. There's 'overwhelming attack' and then there's 'no frakking chance in Hades'.
HEAVY RAIDER PATROL
More of a shuttle than a fighter, the Heavy Raider is designed to carry boarding parties onto enemy vessels.
HULL: 5 SPEED: 10 TURNS: SM DOGFIGHTING: +0
TRAITS: Advanced FTL, Atmospheric, Breaching Pod, Cylon, Dodge 4+, Fighter, Troops 1
Solenite Missiles 6 T 4 AP, DD, One-Shot
Autocannon 2 F 3 TL
HADES-class Basestar WAR
The first true warships of the war, the Hades were the pinnacle of the Cylon fleet and follows a different design philosophy than Colonial Doctrine. While holding in excess of three hundred Raider fighters, they are slow and ponderous. However, their role is not limited to just fighter carrying--they were expected to take, hold and attack enemy ground and ships, and as such they are equipped with an offensive weaponry and anti-fighter defences of their own.
HULL: 5 SPEED: 4 TURNS: 2/45 DAMAGE: 100/20 CREW: NA

KEW Batteries 15 S 12 SAP, TL
KEW Batteries 15 A 12 SAP, TL
HADES-class Scoutstar WAR
One of the more rarer models, the Scout ship adds more electronics to its sensor arrays, and usually the ship plays a support role in combat, creating confusion amongst enemy forces by it's ability to generate large amounts of ECM. It is not helpless either, having the normal amount of fighters and weapons.
HULL: 5 SPEED: 4 TURNS: 2/45 DAMAGE: 100/20 CREW: NA
TROOPS: 6 CRAFT: 32 Early Raider Flights
TRAITS: FTL Engines, Cylon, Carrier 6, Command +1, Point Defence 4, Scout, Stealth 5+

KEW Batteries 15 S 8 AP, TL
KEW Batteries 15 A 8 AP, TL
HADES-class CargoStar BATTLE
The Cylons recognized a need for a powerful ship to carry important cargo and modified some Baseships to act as cargo carriers. Combining powerful weaponry with a vast cargo bay, these ships became very valuable for carrying important supplies and fuel to critical areas.
HULL: 5 SPEED: 4 TURNS: 2/45 DAMAGE: 100/20 CREW: NA
TROOPS: 6 CRAFT: 16 Early Raider Flights
TRAITS: FTL Engines, Cylon, Carrier 4, Point Defence 4

KEW Batteries 15 P 8 AP, TL
KEW Batteries 15 S 8 AP, TL
KEW Batteries 15 A 8 AP, TL
LETHE-class Basestar BATTLE
To conserve resources, the Cylons constructed the Lethe-class Halfship. It was literally half a Baseship--half the engine capacity, half the fighter bays, half the crew. Whilst available in some numbers, Lethes were generally delegated to rear end duties in non-hostile zones.
HULL: 5 SPEED: 4 TURNS: 2/45 DAMAGE: 50/10 CREW: NA
TROOPS: 3 CRAFT: 16 Early Raider Flights
TRAITS: FTL Engines, Cylon, Carrier 4, Fleet Carrier, Point Defence 2

KEW Batteries 15 S 8 AP, TL
KEW Batteries 15 A 8 AP, TL
STYX-class Early Basestar BATTLE
The earliest model of Basestar, the Styx-class were large and slow, but still carried numerous Raiders. The design was so successful, that the Hades Baseship was simply an outgrowth of the early one, albeit bigger and carrying more weapons and fighters.
HULL: 5 SPEED: 4 TURNS: 2/45 DAMAGE: 70/15 CREW: NA
TROOPS: 3 CRAFT: 18 Early Raider Flights

ARCHERON-class Basestar WAR
A departure from the usual disc-shaped designs. The star-shaped crafts mounts multiple missile batteries and carries over 800 Raiders.
HULL: 5 SPEED: 6 TURNS: 2/45 DAMAGE: 150/20 CREW: NA
TROOPS: 2 CRAFT: Waves of Raiders 6 Heavy Raiders
May launch 1 Wave and 1 Heavy Raider per turn; no more than 6 Waves can be deployed at one time – per Archeron
1 Wave may remain in base contact to provide Point Defence +3 but for every intercepted hit, Raider Wave suffers loses 1 damage point
TRAITS: FTL Engines, Cylon, Fleet Carrier
Solenite Missile Tubes 30 T 12 DD, Nuke, SAP
PERSEPHONE-class Resurrection Ship 4 CFP
A vessel designed to allow Cylon Agents the ability to download into new bodies even as their ships range ever more distant from Cylon Space. These craft have minimal armaments and must always be escorted.
HULL: 5 SPEED: 4 TURNS: 2/45 DAMAGE: 90/15 CREW: NA
TROOPS: 3
TRAITS: FTL Engines, Cylon
CRAFT: Waves of Raiders, 6 Heavy Raiders but may only launch resurrected Raiders (1 Wave launch per Wave destroyed 2 turns after said Wave was destroyed)
1 Wave may remain in base contact to provide Point Defence +3
KEW Batteries 15 T 4 AP, TL
CHARON-class Freighter 4 CFP
The Charon Tanker is a woefully unremarkable ship, having either none or very little in the way of defensive weaponry. They are, and have always been, prime targets for Colonial forces that seek to destroy them at any opportunity given.
HULL: 4 SPEED: 4 TURNS: 1/45 DAMAGE: 14/3 CREW: NA
TROOPS: 0
TRAITS: FTL Engines, Cylon
KEW Batteries 6 T 2 AP, TL
TARTARUS-class Freighter 4 CFP
A rare variant of the tanker, this model sacrifices most of its cargo carrying ability to be able to carry more fighters. Sometimes used as a long-range strike carry as the fuel carried allows for a much-extended range for the tanker and the Raiders carried. It is recognizable from the basic model in that the cargo section is much smaller and the shuttle bay much larger. It is always armed..
HULL: 4 SPEED: 4 TURNS: 1/45 DAMAGE: 14/3 CREW: NA
TROOPS: 0 CRAFT: 2 Early Raider Flights

ATHENA-class Fleet Escort RAID
This hull was a variant designed solely to protect a squadron or fleet from enemy fighters. Never designed to stand up against capital ships, the Athena also had doubtful use when pressed against a mass fighter assault as well.

DEMETER-class Support Tender 1 CFP
The support tenders were initially designed to replenished vessels in the field. Given the potential for ambushes by pirates, they were given a fair amount of close defence ability. In the end, multiple classes of the ship were produced

TRAITS: FTL Engines, Lumbering, Point Defence 1
TF-C Cargo Carrier - equipped with Shuttles 3 to resupply warships
TF-F Fueler - when destroyed, automatically explodes
TF-T Troop Transport, which takes advantage of the classes bulky shape to cram troops, combat vehicles and additional shuttles into the cavernous cargo hold, Troops 4
TF-H - a hospital ship used to ferry the wounded back to bases or to act as large mobile hospitals. These ships had slightly better command and control facilities than their standard brethren as enemies liked to single them out for destruction early on in combat, especially full capacity ships. Command +1, Troops 2
HEPHAISTOS-class Forge Ship RAID 4 CFP
The onboard factories of the Forge Ships are always welcome to battle-worn fleets though these lightly-armed ships are little more than targets to an enemy. Forge Ships are carry raw supplies and the onboard factories to replenish a fleet no matter how fierce the campaign.

THE CYLON EMPIRE
First designed as robotic soldiers for the Colonials, the Cylons rebelled against their masters and fought a vicious war. Following the war, the Cylons vanished into obscurity. When they returned, it was destroy their creators.
The Cylons Fleet has a lot less variety in it than a Colonial Fleet--Baseships and Raiders. The Raiders are the main strike force of the fleet, and deal with scouting, patrolling, attack and defence. The Baseship is the mother ship of the fleet, large and slow, but carrying a massive amount of fighters and heavy firepower, it is more than an equal for a Battlestar.
EARLY RAIDER PATROL
The disk-shaped Raider had a crew of three. It is slow, but heavily armed. Deployed in standard flights of 6 fighters.

Ramming Run 0 F 1 Precise, SAP, TD
RAIDER WAVE PATROL
The newest design, these Raiders feature powerful KEW weaponry and the ability to launch 2 missiles as well supporting their own FTL. The sheer numbers of Raiders launched per Wave are their greatest strength.
Note, the Wave takes damage akin to a ship—it requires multiple hits to destroy the Wave. When the Wave is reduced to half strength, reduce all AD by half.
HULL: 4 SPEED: 15 TURNS: SM DAMAGE: 4 DOGFIGHTING: +4
TRAITS: Advanced FTL, Atmospheric, Dodge 4+, Cylon, Fighter
Solenite Missiles 6 T 2 AP, DD, Nuke, One-Shot
Twin Autocannon 2 T 12
I dropped damage to 4 from 6 as I find the Raider Waves never die in games. There's 'overwhelming attack' and then there's 'no frakking chance in Hades'.
HEAVY RAIDER PATROL
More of a shuttle than a fighter, the Heavy Raider is designed to carry boarding parties onto enemy vessels.
HULL: 5 SPEED: 10 TURNS: SM DOGFIGHTING: +0
TRAITS: Advanced FTL, Atmospheric, Breaching Pod, Cylon, Dodge 4+, Fighter, Troops 1

HADES-class Basestar WAR
The first true warships of the war, the Hades were the pinnacle of the Cylon fleet and follows a different design philosophy than Colonial Doctrine. While holding in excess of three hundred Raider fighters, they are slow and ponderous. However, their role is not limited to just fighter carrying--they were expected to take, hold and attack enemy ground and ships, and as such they are equipped with an offensive weaponry and anti-fighter defences of their own.

HADES-class Scoutstar WAR
One of the more rarer models, the Scout ship adds more electronics to its sensor arrays, and usually the ship plays a support role in combat, creating confusion amongst enemy forces by it's ability to generate large amounts of ECM. It is not helpless either, having the normal amount of fighters and weapons.

HADES-class CargoStar BATTLE
The Cylons recognized a need for a powerful ship to carry important cargo and modified some Baseships to act as cargo carriers. Combining powerful weaponry with a vast cargo bay, these ships became very valuable for carrying important supplies and fuel to critical areas.

LETHE-class Basestar BATTLE
To conserve resources, the Cylons constructed the Lethe-class Halfship. It was literally half a Baseship--half the engine capacity, half the fighter bays, half the crew. Whilst available in some numbers, Lethes were generally delegated to rear end duties in non-hostile zones.

STYX-class Early Basestar BATTLE
The earliest model of Basestar, the Styx-class were large and slow, but still carried numerous Raiders. The design was so successful, that the Hades Baseship was simply an outgrowth of the early one, albeit bigger and carrying more weapons and fighters.

CHARON-class Freighter 4 CFP
The Charon Tanker is a woefully unremarkable ship, having either none or very little in the way of defensive weaponry. They are, and have always been, prime targets for Colonial forces that seek to destroy them at any opportunity given.

TARTARUS-class Freighter 4 CFP
A rare variant of the tanker, this model sacrifices most of its cargo carrying ability to be able to carry more fighters. Sometimes used as a long-range strike carry as the fuel carried allows for a much-extended range for the tanker and the Raiders carried. It is recognizable from the basic model in that the cargo section is much smaller and the shuttle bay much larger. It is always armed..
