The first class of Battlestar ever created, as well as the first ships of the Colonial navy. The Ares Class was created as a sign of unity and peace between the Twelve Colonies, Humans and Cylons... at least officially. The government wanted to return control of the Fleet to human hands. This class had advanced computer systems onboard and had a relatively small crew of humans and Cylons, with around 2130 humans and 310 Cylons. At least 2 ships of this class were built; both of which are thought to have been lost to their Cylon crew when the Cylon war broke
Ships of the Class[]
- Battlestar Ares - The first Battlestar.
- Battlestar Atlas - The second Battlestar, presumably lost at the start of the Cylon Uprising.
