During the early days of the Cylon War the newly formed and united Twelve Colonies of Kobol would start construction of a new type of warship. This new warship type would become known as the Battlestar and would be the center of every future Colonial Fleet after their introduction. The first twelve Battlestars would be built for each of the Twelve Colonies; this would become known as the Jupiter Class. After the last of these first battlestars where constructed a second flight would be started to be built as reports started to come in of the success of the new warships. Over time these first battlestars would become household names in the colonies with many knowing their names and would be quite legends themselves.

abstract	During the early days of the Cylon War the newly formed and united Twelve Colonies of Kobol would start construction of a new type of warship. This new warship type would become known as the Battlestar and would be the center of every future Colonial Fleet after their introduction. The first twelve Battlestars would be built for each of the Twelve Colonies; this would become known as the Jupiter Class. After the last of these first battlestars where constructed a second flight would be started to be built as reports started to come in of the success of the new warships. Over time these first battlestars would become household names in the colonies with many knowing their names and would be quite legends themselves. The Jupiter Class would be a perfect blend of carrier and battleship with the ability to carry numerous fighters and support craft but had the ability to give and receive punishment of a battleship. To do this the ship is equipped with five hundred fourteen lightweight point defense guns for anti-fighter and anti-missile work, while the main weapons of the new ships would be the twenty-four duel primary guns which could fire both in flak mode for the same anti-fighter and anti-missile work as well as anti-ship combat mode firing explosive rounds against enemy ships. The Jupiter Class also sports twelve missile tubes able to fire standard anti-ship missiles or heavy nuclear missiles. However even then the Jupiter sports the ability to carry four squadrons of twenty Viper Series Space Fighters totaled eighty fighters along with ten reserve fighters. The Battlestar also is able to carry support craft like the Raptor Series Recon and Scout Vehicle along with a few shuttles used for personal transport and fuel runs for the Vipers. As a warship the Jupiter Class carries five thousand crew and Marines onboard the ship including about one hundred forty pilots, along with the vast support crew to keep them flying. However in a pinch a Jupiter Class Battlestar can operate with few as twenty-seven hundred personal. This usually shown during times of peace time or intense personal shortages that require ships to operate as few as personal as possible so the maximum number of ships can be deployed. One notable incident of this would be the Jupiter Class Battlestar Galactica which would sport a crew of twenty-nine hundred during its decommissioning operations. All in all the Jupiter Class showed itself to be a superior warship when in combat with Cylon ships during the First Cylon War. Many of the new battlestars would end up destroying numerous Cylon ships in many different battles. With the combination of carrier and battleship proving far superior to earlier thinking of space combat tactics. The Colonial Fleet would end up forming Battlestar Groups small fleets grouped around one or more battlestars. These groups would be smaller escort ships, support ships and other such craft. It is thanks to the Jupiter Class Battlestars that the Colonial Fleet becomes such a powerful force by the end of the Cylon War.
