Its tactical abilities lay in its powerful DRADIS system, which forces hostile vessels to circumnavigate Colonial groups to avoid detection. Thus they are relegated to support roles, in addition to rapid deployment and support platforms for strike wings. Role īerzerks are never deployed in command roles, given their weaknesses as lead capital ships, and inability to properly defend itself. It is capable of carrying civilian transports and utility vessels, and features robust maintenance facilities making them great support ships for strike wings. As with most battlestars, the landing bay is open to space at both its bow and stern. Its landing bays are considered its greatest feature, not only for their size but their placement on the ventral hull, which are underslung lengthways.
Ergo it's inability to defend itself without being part of a Battlestar group or other strike force that compensates for that deficiency. Differentiating it from a battlestar, the mid-section is narrow and lightly armored, thus making these weak points resulting in a glass cannon-a ship with great offensive potential, but poor defensive weaknesses. Its weapons are arranged for broadside attacks, with turret batteries amidship both port and starboard of the flight deck.īerzerk-class carriers feature many of the design hallmarks of the battlestar, including the "alligator" head bow and large sublight engine block stern. In addition to being FTL capable, this ship class utilizes the mainstay magnetic launch tubes, strike craft maintenance facilities, and landing zones for larger utility vehicles and transports. ĭespite its unbalanced nature, Berzerk-class ships remained in service long after the end of the First Cylon War, up until the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.īerzerk-class carriers feature advanced DRADIS, communication, and firewall systems. Therefore, it has found use as a "rapid reaction" vessel on the front lines.
Its primary mission profile is for deployment within a Battlestar group or other strike force, as this carrier is not designed for standalone prolonged engagements ( Battlestar Galactica Deadlock: Reinforcement Pack). Considered a "pocket-size" ship, Berzerk-class carrier features additional firepower and squadron support. The Berzerk-class assault carrier is a Colonial Fleet battleship in operation during the First Cylon War. Viper Mark I, Viper Mark II, Raptor, Shuttle, Sweeper, Maintenance Pod
