Battlestar Galactica-Star Trek Specifications
A/N: This is in no way related to any of my stories. It is just my opinion of what weapons and systems a Battlestar would have if it was built by the Federation. The next chapter will be for Star Wars.
I think the Federation might build a couple different kinds of Battlestars to fit different roles.
Valkyrie-class Battlestar: The smallest of Battlestars, equipped with four broadside phaser banks, two forward quantum/photon torpedo launchers, two side launchers, aft pulse cannons and torpedo launchers and the capability of carrying up to five hundred peregrine fighters/shuttles. Science labs and medical facilities on par with a Sovereign-class starship.
Mercury-class Battlestar: Larger Battlestar with same weapons load out but with the addition of a pair of quantum pulse cannons on the dorsal hull. It can carry six hundred smaller shuttles/fighters/runabouts. Science labs and medical facilities on par with a small starbase.
Columbia-class Battlestar: Huge Battlestar with twice the weaponry and the flight pods can carry twenty of anything up to Defiant/Saber-class in size. Science labs and medical facilities on par with medium-sized Starbases.
Galactica-class Battlestar: Immense Battlestar with starbase-rated weapons systems/shields. The flight pods are removed and the inside is hollowed out. It can carry forty ships up to Sovereign-class in size and has the ability to fully repair anything up to an Excalibur-class starship. There are also two experimental super phaser cannons designed specifically to target and destroy large enemy battleships including Borg cubes and Jem'Hadar Dreadnoughts. Science labs and medical facilities on par with largest Starbases on record. Pretty much a mobile starbase.
