Colonial Starhound Class Viper
 | |
The Colonial Starhound Class Viper is the current starfighter used by the Colonial fleet. Fast and sleek, the craft is a deadly opponent, especially to its usual foes - the Cylons. The craft has a crew of one, although two people can be squeezed into the cockpit - a passenger can ride in a cramped seat behind the pilot. The Viper is armed with twin turbolasers, although variants are armed with missile racks and heavier weapons. In addition to all this, the craft has turbos, allowing for quick bursts of acceleration or a trip into hyperspeed.

Missile Viper
An uncommon - but not rare - version of the Viper, is the missile Viper. Simply put, the craft adds a pair of missile launchers to the front fuselage that will add considerable to its offensive capability. Of course the launchers add additional weight that decreases the range of the craft is considerably, but when used as a non-hyperspeed missile bomber most feel that the benefits outweigh the penalties. The heavier Viper-B Boa Bomber actually replaces the missile launcher with an even heavier 24 cm launcher!
