Battlestar Astraeus

Welcome Rook! This is the Battlestar Astraeus, a pocket mercury class. During the fall of the twelve colonies this Battlestar was doing a simple system sweep with the two of her battle group's ships; A Nova class and a Bolithio frigate. When the Cylons found them, Battlestar Astraeus was saved by the sacrifice of the Nova class and the Bolithio frigate. As she came out of the jump she was alone. Three months and five Clyon attacks later she was on the verge of falling apart but the lords came through. Delivering a forgotten dry dock with only slight damage. It didn't take long before the Cylons caught up. The Commander ripped Astraeus from her birth and rolled her into a intercept course. Still covered in scaffolding and scars from previous engagements, the Commander ordered screens of flak and point defence to surround the ship and to plot a course towards the basestar. The Battlestar whipped round, its bow cannons posed and locked; the flak and point defence still blazing. The Commander stood like steel, his hands held behind his back and with lucid and metal strong tone he ordered "Prepare for salvo fire.". After the basestar was mangled and twisted tranquillity arose. Though this didn't last long. From the back someone shouted "Contact! Three Cylon Basestars, bearing, 324 Carom 142." The commander didn't look around, blink or frowned; his steel stance still held true. "Jump us outta here!" his voice still rang with metal. Now the Battlestar Astraeus sits here; in a remote part of space looking for the rest of her fleet and a place of refuge.

Hi, this is my first upload and I hope you like it, This ship does require a good pc and does use a fair amount of mods. This ship is still a Heavy WIP!! This is not by any means finished and will take some time. Currently the flight pods are some what close to finished and it has a complete CIC and Bridge, there are a lot of empty rooms as I still need to finish outlining the rooms. The ship's engines still need alot of work; It can move but very, very slowly. Oh and the vipers that I have used in the photos aren't included. And finally, it isn't a 1:1 scale of a Mercury class Battlestar ( e.g. like the Pegasus) this ship is more of a test to see if I could build anything similar to a 1:1 Mercury class and how my PC would handle something like this size ship and larger. It's meant to be a pocket sized Mercury. I have uploaded the more frequent pictures (The ones in green are the up-to-date ones.
