Though the war ended around 1960 with the Cimtar Peace Accords, the political situation was as such that continued vigilance was crucial. By the end of the war, the Colonial Fleet consisted of a number of different classes of battlestar, and during Operation: Raptor Talon three battlestars were sent out without the need of fleet support ships.
Perhaps to celebrate the Articles of Colonization, an initial order of twelve were constructed, with each representing a particular colony in Galactica's case, Caprica. A new classification of capital ship, the battlestars, entered service to replace these losses while assuming a number of responsibilities in fleet operations. The first major shake-up the fleet went through was several years into the war, when Cylon hacking became increasingly successful in disabling or hijacking the fleet's cruisers.
The Colonial Fleet was formed in or after 1948 as part of an urgent response to Cylon uprising as a strategic necessity, as while worlds such as Caprica boasted an advanced military others such as Aquaria were limited or even nonexistent.
