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.
