Description[]
Introduced some years after the First Cylon War, the structural design of the Mercury class differs significantly from the original Battlestar type. The "neck" section is smaller, and the Mercury class features eight sublight engine pods instead of the older class's six. Its edges are more angular, and the hull is completely armored. Each flight pod consists of two stacked landing bays with adjoined decks and hangars, which along with computer-assisted landings results in a faster Viper recovery rate. Each flight pod also has Raptor landing bays on the sides, allowing for rapid transfer of crew cargo. These pods are fixed and do not retract when executing an FTL jump. The class has built-in electronic countermeasure (ECM) generators to ward off missiles aimed at the ship, and also has Viper Mark VII production facilities, allowing the ship to re-arm itself on extended deployments, provided the battlestar has access to specified raw materials.
Inside, the class features automated sliding doorways, basic computer recognition stations in vital areas, and networked computer systems.
