Description: The eleven Minerva Class Battlestars were the largest Battlestars built during the Cylon War, and were roughly the same size as the later Mercury class.
Unfortunately, they shared many of the technological limitations of earlier designs, requiring- among other things- retractable landing pods in order to facilitate FTL jumps. Despite these drawbacks, these vessels gave good service during the last years of the Cylon war and for several decades thereafter. As newer designs were completed and entered service, the Minerva class was decommissioned until only the Pleiades and Hesperides remained.
Quirks/Special Characteristics: Pleiades was the test bed ship for the dual axial flight deck fitted to the Mercury Class, and so has four landing bays, with each landing pod having two flight decks- one running parallel to the ship’s line of flight, the other inverted beneath it. Special elevators and airlocks bring embarked craft into sync with the ship’s gravity as they are transported to the hangar deck.
