Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Aurora is the Roman goddess of the dawn, and possibly one of the Lords of Kobol. When Kara Thrace visits the oracle Brenn in Dogsville, she touches a small winged icon of the goddess, which is then given to her by the oracle.
She later gives the icon to Admiral William Adama as a figurehead to place on the bow of the model sailing ship he is building (Maelstrom).
