The Eastern Alliance would have been destroyed, but could have taken out many fleet ships, which would have been very problematic. I too wish that was explored more. I found pics of a resing model that used to be sold, not available, not sure if that's permanent, but the resin kit ws $80 bucks, and is a lot, a real lot, for a resin model.
Some interesting facts I found:
"Featured in the Battlestar Galactica (Original Series) episodes "Greetings from Earth," "Baltar's Escape" and "Experiment in Terra," the "Stazi-Class" Destroyer is a compact warship operated by the planet Terra's "Eastern Alliance," which is at war with that same planet's "Western Coalition."
Small enough to be housed in a battlestar's landing bay, the Destroyer is crewed by a Commanding Officer and six crewmen. Although its firepower is limited, it uses "swarm attacks" to overwhelm much larger adversaries.
The Destroyer is a classic example of late 1970's era "kit-bashing." The trend was started in the late 1960s when articles on the making of Stanley Kubrick's 1968 "2001: A Space Odyssey" revealed that SPFX director Douglas Trumball's team had used parts of plastic model kits to texture many of the movie's breathtaking miniatures. Immediately, cash-strapped SPFX artists began to employ the same technique, not only detailing their ships with plastic model parts but sometimes building filming miniatures out of nothing but model kits pieces. The Eastern Alliance Destroyer is an example of such a "kit-bash,", the main body clearly composed of a repurposed F-15 fighter."
The F-15 is so obvious, but on the other hands shows with all the free paper F-15's out there, this could be built the same way, again, just by looking at pictures that I posted, and the others all over
the web, and some imagination.
