These are the old basestars and raiders, as portrayed in Razor. There’s a paucity of information on the vessels, so I had to do a lot of guesswork for the stats. The assumptions: the basestar is originally a warship from one of the colonies’ forces, as were the raiders. The size would suggest these were the truly heavy guns of the War-time period. These vessels most likely use similar weaponry to the Colonials, and much of it might be retrofitted onto a battlestar, if the need should arise (like, say, the whole of the Colonies being wiped out.) I assume that the control mechanisms of the basestar are most likely usable by humans, and the raiders almost certainly. That doesn’t mean that they might not have been retrofitted with some of the biomechanical equipment from the Mk II Basestar at some point.

You might have a good look at the 1st Cylon War Baseships and Raiders on the upcoming BSG: Blood and Chrome.

That was the plan…if it manages to hold viewers. I rather liked elements of Caprica, but I could always tell it was another series that had been retrofitted to the BSG universe. That said, their world building was spectacular…the characters — while interesting — simply weren’t likeable, and the story took too long to get to the point.
