Battlestar Prometheus (Ship)

Prometheus was the name of a Battlestar constructed by the Colonial fleet during the first Cylon War. (Battlestar Prometheus)

Construction and the Cylon War
The design phase of the orignal 12 Prometheus class Battlestars began in the early days of the Mutant War. The Cylon uprising briefly delayed the construction of the Battlestars, but the Prometheus was launched a few years into the war along with her sister ships.

The Prometheus also featured the first integrated Human-Mutant crew in the Colonial Fleet, despite many objections, among its Mutant crewmembers was a young Anna Marie Minerva. It saw action in most of the major battles of the Cylon War, and by the end was one of the most decorated vessels in the Colonial Fleet.

During the post-war era, the Prometheus was mostly downgraded while more modern Battlestars recieved major missions. However the Prometheus and the other surviving original 12 Battlestars remained symbols of the Cylon War.

The Fall of the 12 Colonies


25 years after the end of the first Cylon War, the Prometheus was the last of the original Battlestars still in service in the Colonial Fleet. It was set to be decomissioned and turned into a museum to the Cylon war.

The last commander of the Prometheus, Commander Anna Marie Minerva had insisted that the vessel remain in the original condition that it had been during the Cylon War, meaning that the ship had no networked computers like modern Battlestars.

Following the Decomissioning Ceremony however, the ship recieved word that an attack on the 12 colonies had been launched, and Commander Minerva gave the order to prepare the ship for battle. The Cylons sent several Raiders to attack the Prometheus, and while the Raiders where destroyed, the Prometheus was struck with a nuke that badly damaged the ship. The Prometheus is being prepared for an FTL jump to the Ragnar Anchorage in order to get ready to fight the Cylons.

Armament
The Prometheus at the height of the Cylon War was outfitted with numerous squadrons of Viper fighters along with weapons batteries lining the hull. However at the time of the attack, the ship was disarmed and the only Vipers where those in the Museum.
