Welcome to the Battlestar Titan
BSG-77
This vessel is considered both the most technological Battlestar created as well as the most Advanced Terran/Colonial Battlestar to date.
Classification: Hesperidas
Battlestar: Titan
Built in the Ares Highlands Shipyards, the Titan is as long as a Mercury Class Battlestar though shares characteristics of the long enduring Columbia Class. Built using designs gathered from Caprica during the Reclamation Period, sporting 34 decks and luxuries that Colonial crews would otherwise not have. The ship is built from Terran steel that gives it they initial strength but with armor stronger than what the Colonies could sport. First layer is a titanium/steel composite armor that allows for a flexibility of two inches during combat and resilient to shells coming from 18-inch guns with a final coat to add a lifespan of thirty years. The Second layer is a tungsten/chromium inconel mixture makes up the armor plating and majority of the vessel. Considered rare, the mixture is able to stand up against nuclear blasts, extreme heat and sustained fire before needing to be replaced in thirty years.
Taking lessons learned, Titan has a fully automated weapons system that includes rail guns as well as conventional batteries that can fire the new high explosive armor piercing shells that can cut an enemy vessel in half with two full salvos. Short of her massive batteries, the Titan has smaller 14-inch flak guns designed to fire fragmental shells around the ship to create a barrier between them and the enemy. These shells can bring down Cylon Raiders who venture too close. As a final line, the ship has retractable CWIS auto cannons which fires uranium tipped tungsten centered rounds at the speed of 4,500 rounds per minute under burst fire. The controlled fire combined with the density of the round is designed to tear Cylon Heavy Raiders in half. These CWIS cannons are found throughout ports in the hull with each pod carrying 20 internal cannons.

Carrier Facilities & Complement
20 Squadrons Viper Mk-7 (2 Squadron Reserve)
20 Squadrons Viper Mk-9 (2 Squadron Reserve)
20 Squadrons Viper Mk-8 (2 Squadron Reserve)
20 Squadrons Viper Mk-2 (2 Squadron Reserve)
10 Squadrons Raptors (1 Squadron Reserve)

Final Overview
The Titan is designed to operate far from supply lines to undergo missions that other Battlestars couldn't due to physical restraints. Taking in mind off the extended operations, the Titan is able to grow their own food as well as process material for fuel on the extended trips. Heavily armed for any assignment, Titan will be able to go toe-to-toe against its enemies resulting in missions that other Battlestars would see as a challenge.
