Additional Information


The second Columbia is of a newer type, featuring integrated command and control systems and Dr. Gaius Baltar's Command Navigation Program (CNP). It is reported as lost, along with Solaria and Triton, during the initial moments of the Second Cylon War.

Adama once served as executive officer on Columbia (Hero). Galen Tyrol also served on this ship at some point in his long career as an NCO ("Resistance")

Notes[edit]

  • The name Columbia (derived from the Latin columba, meaning "dove" or "pigeon") is a derivation of the 15th Century Genoan explorer Christopher Columbus. While at first glance such an Earth-based name seems an unlikely choice for an "alien" culture, it might be a hint towards a different version of the Twelve Colonies' ancient history.

References[edit]

  1. In the first night of the Miniseries, Aaron Doral mentions that there were twelve Galactica type battlestars created during the Cylon War. Columbia is clearly of the same class as Galactica, and thus belongs to this type.
