I love the inclusion of naval terminology like "Pocket Battlestar" a great call back to the German Deutschland-class of Pocket Battleships

One of the most unique and specialized ships in the BSG universe . Always a big fan of this ship and the soundtrack " Last battle of the osiris " is an absolute banger !

I never liked the fact that it only had one landing/launch bay door. One bolter and you'll slam into the back wall.

I missed Dan's voice on Spacedock videos. It's probably just because it's a BSG entry similar to the ones made for Deadlock but it was extremely refreshing hearing Dan's voice.

I love the Deadlock footage. Lovely beautiful game.

Could imagine these could be devastating if they were to employ wolfpack tactics

Always liked this design. Very submarine-like in its hull shape, which fits with this stealth/recon/support role.

The only odd thing about this is why its designated as a Battlestar.. the Colonial fleet has other ship designations like cruisers, destroyers, escorts.. This is clearly a frigate or a light cruiser/destroyer.. its like if in WW2 i do a small lighty armoured warship wich favours stealth and speed over firepower or armor and call it a pocket battleship

It’s actually based on the original concept art of the First Battlestar Galactica way back in the 70’s but it was passed over. I always thought it would’ve been cool back in the 70s that Galactica would discover a derelict fleet of these types of Ships later to be used as A support fleet for the Battlestar

Ah yes, probably the only "submarine in space" one can easily find in fiction. Carriers? Millions of them. Battleships? Billions. Submarine? This girl alone;)

I absolutely love this ship

You forgot to mention that part of it's stealth design is the ships heatsink feature, that renders the ship invisible from a thermal perspective too.

@GeorgeBPryor 4 years ago

Its side profile looks almost exactly like the CIS Malevolence from the Clone Wars series, if you flipped the rear bridge tower on that ship upside down.

That basestar that the Osiris goes up against is pretty cool. It’s a shame that we know nothing about it.

" ... and a vital tool ensuring the survival of the 12 colonies!" I guess someone has to tell him the truth at one point. :(

More Bsg , more happines come to my heart .

I get the impression that the Orion was a hasty refit of a civilian ship since most of the resources for Colonial Fleet would've been going towards refitting the surviving Jupiter IIs, hence the protruding bridge, extremely small size, and lack of flight pods.
