Mercury Class Battlestar

The Mercury Class Battlestar is one of the newest and most powerful classes of Battlestar in the Colonial Fleet at the time of the Cylon attack. Its size and prestige often mean it is at the heart of Battlestar operations and is usually a flagship for Fleet Rank personnel such as Admiral Helena Cain (D1).
