Description

Ported to OBJ and retextured from the common STL model, itself a port of the SketchUp original by Neuron Ned. Based on the design as featured in the NuBSG/TRS movie Razor. Preview picture posed in XNALara XPS. You can download Neuron Ned's original SketchUp model at the link below, although I'm going to warn you in advance that it's a bitch to port due to numerous backfacing issues (a common problem with porting SketchUp models). You might want to either go the long way around as did I or find another Guardian CG model that's easier to work with.

In the NuBSG/TRS thread of the BSG multiverse the Guardian base star was developed and fielded by the Cylons not long before the end of the First Cylon War, given the demonstrated superiority of Colonial vessels and tactics at the time. These were always commanded by the first generation of Cylon humanoids, or Hybrids as they were often called, with a single Hybrid controlling the Guardian from its central core as opposed to the extensive computer control systems of earlier model base stars (ref. the Hades class from TOS, see also TOS "The Hand of God" and G1980 "The Night the Cylons Landed"). They were just as formidable opponents in their time as their later and more sophisticated descendants would be at the time of NuBSG/TRS, although they also had the same strange lack of defensive weaponry and had to rely entirely on their multiple squadrons of Raiders for their defense. One can safely presume that these have at least similar offensive weaponry as earlier and later models (missile and laser batteries, nukes, heavy pulsar cannon, etc.), although these are never seen being used in Razor (no energy or all magazines expended in earlier battles, perhaps?). All told, the Guardian base star is every bit as formidable in its own way, and is an important design link between the base stars of the Cylon Wars and the far more advanced models used decades later to bring about the final fall of the Colonies.

This is known as the Cerebus class in the Deadlock video game, although that version has some minor tweaks and a different paint scheme. If you go that route then Guardian (NuBSG/TRS Razor) is probably the class prototype and Cerebus the final production model. That's a good way to hand-wave away what few differences there are between the two versions.

This canon due to its use in Razor.
