Hi all. I am the Author of "Battlestar Prometheus" and I wanted to answer a few questions regarding the ship.

#1: She has five squadrons but those squadrons are larger than normal. The Prometheus Air Group is the equivilant of a normal Colonial Fighter Division (an entire Air Base Garrison). In my story, the Prometheus Air Group has the same ammount of fighters as two Mercury class Battlestars.

#2: The Nova Class were designed to be fleet command ships. The original plan (according to my story) was for FIVE Nova Class Battlestars. The Fleet Admiral would have one, followed by the four largest fleet commands. They were designed to be a one stop shop for ass whipping. In other words, one Battlestar that could take on several smaller target vessels or subdue a large city.

#3: The Prometheus was intended to be the new Fleet Command Vessel with the degination of BG-01. However, when President Adar assigned the Prometheus to "Operation Outreach" her designation was changed to BG-22.

For the tech specs of the Prometheus, check out the BSP main page:

and look at the "List of Ships".

Many thanks to Infinity for doing this pic for me. I have been wanting him to do a picture of the Barge for a long time since I am a HUGE admirer of his work. And XRaider was right- I DID fall out of my chair when I saw it.

Infinity's artwork will be featured as the cover art for the Season Finale of Battlestar Prometheus, which should be out somtime within the next four weeks.

Thanks again to Infinity for doing the 3D rendering, XRaider for convincing him to do so for me and of course, CanisD for the original design. You all ROCK!
