Battlestar Galactica Viper Mugs
Description: Vintage Distressed painting for Battlestar Galactica, featuring Apollo, Starbuck, Adama, Daggit and the whole gang. From one of those 1980s novelizations. Great retro gift for Battlestar Galactica Fans of the Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict era. Great gift for anyone who ever fantasized about flying a Colonial Viper in the egyptian style helmet.
Description: The origins of the Viper lie with the Caprican Air Force Viper jet, which in service for some time before 1942. It is presently unknown if the spaceborne iteration which fought in the Cylon War was another series of craft with the same name, but the Mark II was in service by the midway point of the war. This craft was, like the battlestars it launched from, designed purposely to be as low-tech as possible to thwart the Cylons' computer hacking capabilities. The similarly-designed Mark III entering service by 1958, two years before the war's conclusion.
