Viper Mark I

The Viper Mark I was the first of the series of Viper space-superiority fighters to be used by the Colonial Fleet, who used them against the Cylons during the First Cylon War. Proving to be a successful and reliable design, Viper Mark I would go on to inspire newer generations of improved Vipers which retained resemblance to it. Over the course of the First Cylon War, the Viper Mark I was gradually phased out by the newer Viper Mark IIs and IIIs.
== History ==
While the Galactica was being converted into a museum shortly before the outbreak of the Second Cylon War, a Viper Mark I was kept as a display piece as part of the exhibit. Unlike the Viper Mark IIs on display, this fighter was never returned to service and remained inside the museum for the entire exodus from the Twelve ColoniesBattlestar Galactica (2004), episode: "Miniseries, Night I".
