The Columbia Class Battlestar Galactica was a typical Colonial Battlestar that served in the 1000 Yahren War with the Cylons. Following the destruction of the twelve colonies, the Galactica was forced to dramatically increase the number of crew she carried, as well as the number of fighters she could bring onto the battlefield. The Galactica now carries a crew of roughly 5,000 military personnel, 480 of which are Viper fighter pilots. Galactica, in addition to her to original Viper squadrons now has additional Viper squadrons from the Battlestar Pegasus. The additional Viper squadrons joined the Galactica following the apparent destruction of the Battlestar Pegasus, boosting the Galactica's fighter strength to two hundred and forty Vipers. Galactica is still armed with her standard weapon system, consisting of 32 Turbo-Lasers and solonite missiles.
