Description: When the Cylons began their genocide of the Twelve Colonies, the Viper Mark VII was the premiere space superiority fighter in service. While the craft retained the general layout of the Mark II, it was loaded with the latest in networked systems, providing superior battle management and combat information for the pilot. As with the majority of the Fleet vessels, it was programmed with the integrated CNP system that was compromised by the Cylons. Viper Mark VIIs perished by the score when their controls went dead. At the time of the Cylon attack, the Galactica had at most a dozen Mark VIIs onboard. The few surviving Mark VIIs on Galactica have been retrofitted to accommodate older avionic systems.
