After the end of the Cylon War the Colonial Fleet would start a program to build a new Battlestar Class to compliment the remaining Jupiter, Saturn, and Orion Class Battlestars. This program would end introducing the Mars Class Battlestar to the Colonial Fleet several years after the end of the war. In the end the Mars Class would be the premier Battlestar Class of the after-war Twelve Colonies and the Colonial Fleet. During the years that followed over eighty of these dependable ships would be produced and would make up much of the Colonial Fleet for many years.
