Gunstar Temperance (BSG-21) is an Avenger class Gunstar, the first ship to bear the name. One of the Colonial Fleet's newest Gunstars, she wields an impressive set of armaments, boasting more sheer firepower than even the new Mercury class battlestars. Her primary purpose is direct ship-to-ship combat, as she was designed to go toe-to-toe with Cylon basestars and come out victorious, thanks to her plethora of weaponry and her heavy armor. Temperance is the last known remaining Gunstar after the Cylon attack against the Twelve Colonies, surviving the technological attack that crippled all the other warships in the Colonial Fleet (Except Battlestar Megaera) due to the testing of a new experimental computer system aboard it. She is currently on her own in space, searching for both humanity's survivors and a reason for going on.
