By the time of the Second Cylon War, a new model of Basestar was introduced, featuring more advanced systems and a new hull design. Unlike the saucer shaped hulls of the original Basestars', the new models feature a more sinister Y-shaped hull, angled in opposite directions.
The crew of volunteers is supplemented by Cylon centurions from the rebel Basestar as well as a small number of civilians including Laura Roslin, Gaius Baltar, and Tory Foster. Samuel Anders, a Cylon left in a vegetative state by brain damage, is connected to the ship's systems, effectively becoming the Battlestar's version of a Cylon hybrid.
Repairs on Galactica continue, but the ship's systems are fluctuating, and a major hull breach kills 61 people, 26 of them Cylons.. Ellen Tigh states that if Cavil's plan is to study Hera and learn what made her a successful human-Cylon hybrid, he would take her to "The Colony", a large biomechanical structure similar in composition to the Basestars.
Basestar – the Cylon capital ships in the Battlestar Galactica universe [44] Bellerophon – the ship that took colonists to Altair IV in Forbidden Planet [45] Blip-A – light propelled (indirectly) ship built and crewed by Eridians in Project Hail Mary. Blip-A is an exonym; the direct translation would be 'Ship'.
Leoben recommends cooperation, but she reminds him that cooperation with the humans did not end well on New Caprica. D'Anna subsequently threatens to execute Roslin and her entourage on the Cylon Basestar unless Adama hands over the four newly identified final Cylons on the Galactica. Tory Foster reveals herself as one of them and joins D'Anna ...
A raven-haired copy, dying from a disease aboard a basestar, whom Baltar strangles after she hysterically accuses him of deliberately leading them to the disease-carrying beacon (perhaps in an effort to get him to kill her). Copies from the infected basestar that are brought aboard Galactica.
A Cylon copy of Simon is brought before Adama and Roslin. In exchange for the serum, Simon explains the Cylons' plans to find Earth. He reveals that Baltar is with the Cylon fleet and is showing them the way to Earth. Simon further explains about the probe, and how the contaminated Basestar was abandoned by the rest of the Cylon fleet.
Once the Cylon fighter contingent is fully engaged with the Galactica, Adama recalls his Vipers from the surface of Carillon, taking the enemy by surprise. Estimating that the Cylon fighters could not have come so far without a basestar, Apollo and Starbuck disengage from the battle and find a Cylon basestar hidden on the far side of Carillon.
