Turrets are mounted around the ship, especially on its bow section and on its port and starboard sides. The Mercury class features impressive armament and armor, with the entire ship being covered with metal armor plating.

This proves to be the class's downfall - it is presumed that many ships of its class were destroyed during the attacks, and the only known surviving ship of its class, the Battlestar Pegasus, is forced to de-network its computers and revert to older software to keep its systems relatively safe from Cylon infiltration. It is implied that at the time of the Fall, several ships of this class have already been upgraded with the new CNP with more to come.
Not much is known about the computer systems of the Mercury-class however, it is known that the class, as with most other Colonial military assets at the time of the Fall of the Colonies, was designed to rely heavily upon advanced computer systems and networks the network functionality is described as allowing a person with the needed access to be "able to control any part of the ship from any other". Smaller maneuvering thrusters are also scattered in various places throughout the ship to allow for high maneuverability in combat scenarios, including two large bow-mounted forward-facing thrusters on the forward section of the alligator head. Ships of this class have 8 main rearwards-facing sub-light engines attached to their outer hull at the stern of the ship, four each on its dorsal and ventral surfaces, as well as having at least two FTL drives in sync for faster-than-light travel.
Despite its much larger size compared to the older Jupiter-class Battlestar, thanks to its heavy automation the Mercury class only needs a crew complement of around 2800 people to function.
