Additional Information

The Defender class is a support ship of Gemenese origin. The substructure flightpod has been repurposed by colonial engineers into a fast turnaround resupply bay for squadron groups.

Abilities

Similar to the (Cylon) Gorgon, the Defender class is a support vessel, being an alternative to the Celestra. The Defender has an underslung hangar with an extremely fast repair rate, and damaged squadrons can either return to their home base or land at the Defender for faster repair.

The Defender also features a Technical Support Raptor that can stregthen allied ship's subsystems.

Defenders also sport a special contingent of Marines that can be deployed to friendly ships and have them fight off enemy boarders.

Notes

  • Josiah Ward modeled the high, the low and texture of the Colonial Defender for Battlestar Galactica Deadlock at Black Lab Games In 2019.[1]
  • Black Lab Games sought out Todd Boyce (the original designer of the ship) to ask for permission to use the Defender in the Battlestar Galactica Deadlock game.
  • Original ship design by Todd Boyce
