This ship is the Colonial Battlestar from the universe of the live/model
action TV show BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (late 1970s).  It is based upon a
Monogram model; BATTLESTAR GALACTICA is (tm) Universal City Studios, Inc..

Battlestars were extremely large, carrier-type ships which launched and
retrieved VIPERS (one- or two-man fighters) from their twin launch bays.

Scale of this object is uncertain since size of a Battlestar was never
specified.  I would place it in the approximate size class of the Next
Generation ENTERPRISE-D, perhaps longer and narrower and at a lower
technological level.

Programmer's notes:  This object demands multiple texture brushes for
its intricate clutter of surface detail.  I was unable to create a
satisfactory one, and have modeled only the major features.  The launch
bays CAN be flown through, but luminous catapult and arrestor rings should
be added inside.

Freely distributable, but unless this file is included you must credit the
