3D model history
The moment the twin-saucer silhouette of the Cylon Basestar appeared on the screen, the true nature of the enemy was revealed. In the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica universe, this massive, rotating starship was the flagship of the Cylon fleet—not merely a warship, but a relentless, mobile fortress of steel and shadow. Armed with twin mega-pulsars, countless laser turrets, and an overwhelming force of Cylon Raiders, the Basestar was the existential threat, the ultimate futuristic spacecraft tasked with hunting the last remnants of humanity across the cosmos. Its power and intimidating size cemented its status as the most iconic spaceship of the era.
This premium Cylon Basestar 3D model captures every ounce of that mechanical menace. Built for flawless 3D printing and spectacular display, the Cylon Basestar STL files include advanced features for custom builders and sci-fi enthusiasts. The model supports optional LED wiring, features a central battery compartment, and includes a removable top cover to reveal the intricate interior. Functional details include rotating launch hatches and miniature Cylon Raider vehicles ready for a dynamic display. Whether expanding your collection of Battlestar Galactica ships or seeking an ambitious starship 3D print model, this high-detail 3D print spacecraft offers a definitive tribute to the legendary Cylon capital.
