Intended for use with Ares’ licensed miniatures-based board game (see “First Details on ‘Battlestar Galactica – Starship Battles’”), each Spaceship Pack features one pre-painted and pre-assembled miniature spaceship plus the spaceship card, gaming base, maneuver deck, and pilot cards needed to use the ship in the game.
The Colonial Raptor is a slower vessel designed for recon and support missions, and comes in three versions: The SAR/ECM is equipped with upgraded sensors for search-and-rescue missions; the Assault/Combat has been fitted with additional armaments to act as a gunship; and the Boomer version features the ship piloted by Raptor ace Sharon “Boomer” Valerii. MSRP is $16.90.
The Cylon Heavy Raider is a self-aware craft that can also be piloted by a Centurion or human-form Cylon, also with three versions: The Combat/Transport sports extra armor and can transport Centurions; the Veteran version has upgraded weapons for ship-to-ship and ship-to-ground combat; while the Captured version allows players to represent the ship piloted by Boomer’s clone Sharon as either a Colonial or Cylon ship. MSRP is $24.90.Click on the gallery below to see the packaging for all six ships.
