The Mercury was presumably the namesake of the Mercury class battlestars.
A sister ship to battlestar Pegasus, the battlestar Mercury is likely one of many battlestars destroyed in the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.
Notes[edit]
Mercury is the Roman god of trade, profit and commerce; similar to the Greek god of Hermes. Since the Colonials mainly believe in gods of a Greek nature, it begs the question of how the name became known to -- or derived by -- the Colonials.
