Happy rendering!
Battlestar Pleiades (BSG-55) was a Minerva class / Minerva type
battlestar, built and commissioned in the early stage of the first Cylon
war and destroyed by the Cylon about one year before the armistice.
Pleiades was nicknamed "Salamander" or "Fire Salamander" after her
outline.
Battlestar Hyades (BSG-85) was a Minerva class / Hyades type battlestar, built and commissioned during the first Cylon war and decommissioned around 20 years after the armistice. Hyades was commanded by Iris "Stinger" Yang, who established a long-range attack tactics called as "Yang's sting", at the armistice. Hayades was nicknamed "Diver" or "Skydiver".
Battlestar Hesperides (BSG-95) was a Minerva class / Hesperides type battlestar-gunstar hybrid, built and commissioned during the first Cylon war and decommissioned around 20 years after the armistice. She was nicknamed "Hedgehog" after so many KEWs that she had.
Hesperides class vessels had two flight pods, and two gun pods that consisted of three types of gun pod modules.
Battlestar Andromeda (BSG-77) was a Minerva class / Hyades type battlestar, built and commissioned during the first Cylon war. She was assigned to a test vessel (EBS-13) after the armistice, and remodeled three times under a joint test program among Gemenon, Picon and Libris.
In the first stage of the joint test program, pod-less hull structure and 2D vectorized thrusters, which were designed by the Picon design bureau (PDB) of the colonial fleet, were introduced in order to enhance hull stiffness and mobility. In the second stage, sub-light speed engines and a FTL engine were repleced with new ones. The test team that was encouraged by good test results proposed remodeled Andromeda as a prototype of the next generation battlestars. But Battlestar Mercury was chosen for it by the colonial fleet, because Mercury could carry much more Vipers and Raptors than remodeled Andromeda. In the last stage, she was used for a test bed of AIGIS (Advanced Integrated Global Investigation and Surveillance) and MEDOUSA (Multi-purpose Enhanced DRADIS based On Universal Secure Architecture) system. A head block of decommissioned Battlestar Hyades was re-used for a engine block of Andromeda in this stage.
However technological impacts of the joint test program on newly designed colonial fleet vessels were quite limited, AIGES and MEDOUSA system were applied to Battlestar Sleipnir designed by the PDB.
The First Stage: Pod-less High Stiffness Hull Structure, 2D Vectorized Thrusters
The Second Stage (Test Phase-I): New Sub-light speed and FTL Engines
The Third Stage (Test Phase-II): ERSTA System AIGIS, C3I System MEDOUSA
Battlestar Skinfaxi (BSG-99) and Hrimfaxi (BSG-94) were Arvak class / Skinfaxi type battlestars, deployed instead of retired Galactica type battlestars around two-years before the fall of twelve colonies. Fire power of this type vessel was comparable to that of a modernized Galactica type battlestar. Their dual cannon batteries were reused from the retired battlestars for reducing construction cost, while it was planned that the next sister vessel of them, Gullfaxi, would install new design batteries linked to the CNP.
The both battlestars and their battlestar groups had been destructed
near the red line during the cylon attack. Skinfaxi sank one cylon
basestar after activation of the CNP backdoors, because her crew could
operate her old batteries manually by only connecting them to emergency
power supply units.
Battlestar Sleipnir was a Arvak class / Sleipnir type battlestar, a flagship of Experimental Battlestar Group 17 (EBS-17). She was the first deployed battlestar that had AIGIS (Advanced Integrated Global Investigation and Surveillance) C3I system, MEDOUSA (Multipurpose Enhanced DRADIS based On Universal Secure Architecture) ERSTA system and the CNP. Moreover a low-level stealth function against the DRADIS was given.
