Viper Mark I

The prestigious Viper Mark One (also referred to as the Starhound Class Viper) is the first model of the illustrious Colonial Viper space superiority fighter line. The Mark One first entered military service shortly before the First Cylon War as a preemptive counteraction against the now independent Cylon Fleet, the Viper Mark One was later replaced with the Viper Mark II.

Original Series
The Viper Mark I, also known as the Starhound Class was the dominant type in the original series. It was created at some point in the 7th Millennium to replace the now obsolete 6th Millennium fighter known as the Scorpion Mark I as the war between the twelve Colonies and the Cylon Empire escalated.

The New Series (Re-imagined Series)
A Viper Mark One is seen in the Miniseries, night one. It is in the museum scene and can be clearly seen as a background exhibit along with original Cylons, Raiders and Baseships. The Mark One was created as a next stage/generation multi atmospheric areo-space craft designed shortly before the Cylon uprising nearly 52 years before the fall of the twelve Colonies. The Mark One remained as the central defense fighter craft of the Colonial Fleet for nearly two years before the creation of the Mark-II which unto itself led to the evolution of the fighter line itself.
