[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2589208, member: 14159"] The new-series vipers look almost identical to the original Vipers. They established in the miniseries the history of this version of BSG: instead of the Cylons performing a sneak attack at the end of a 1000 year (pardon, Yahren) war, they staged a similar sneak attack after 40 years of peace where no human had ever seen a cylon. The new prototype "blackbird" stealth Viper that was built in the most recent episode only loosely resembled a classic Viper, it was black, angular, and lacked the vertical fin/engine. The Galactica was being decommissioned, an old (and obsolete) battlestar, it was being turned into a museum ship, with displays of old Cylon and Colonial hardware (which look identical to original series hardware). Old Cylon spacecraft were the raiders of the original series (while new BSG raiders look only very vaguely like the original ones). The Cylons collectively are referred to as "toasters", since before the war the last time anybody saw Cylons they looked like "walking toasters" as a reference to the chrome centurions of the original series. Cylons consider this to be a racial epithet. [/QUOTE]
