The Jupiter class Battlestars were laid down in the early days of the First Cylon War. There were originally twelve built, one representing each of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. They were heavily engaged in the war, and only three of the original twelve survived to see the armistice signed, ending the war. After the war, the surviving Battlestars remained in service, supplemented by additional ships under construction during the war. The class was continually upgraded and modified over the years, and several were still in service until the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.

- The Jupiter-class has gone down in Colonial Fleet history as the precursor to the more successful Mercury- and Illustrious-classes of Battlestar. Many of the systems incorporated into the later designs were tried and tested on the two ships of the class, Jupiter and Hermes, and then installed onto the following designs. In many ways the class resembles the later Mercury-class with the exception of the more conventional one-tier Hangar Pods of previous classes.
