	Some time later, ''Pegasus'' realizes that a Cylon fleet it is tracking is not jumping randomly but is following a path along systems with natural resources. When it jumps to scout the Cylons' next projected position, ''Pegasus'' encounters the [[The Fleet (RDM)\|Fleet]] led by ''[[Galactica]]''; it turns out the Cylons are jumping to systems ''Galactica'' has passed through or explored. Cain assumes overall command of the Fleet and begins transferring supplies and personnel between the two battlestars, including Captain [[Lee Adama]] and Lieutenant [[Kara Thrace]]. Cain's indifference to the needs of the civilian ships prompts President [[Laura Roslin]] to raise her concerns with Commander [[William Adama]].

It would most likely contact the nearest base, instead--"Picon Control." Besides, Picon was the headquarters of the Colonial Fleet, so a ship in orbit of Picon would be even less likely to contact Caprica Control. 3) If you look at the planet in the first shot, especially beneath the battlestars, a generous chunk of land is visible.

It could theoretically be another one of the Twelve Colonies, but since the story focus at the point was on just those two planets, it is most likely Caprica.

The '''Astral Queen''' is a FTL-capable former starliner now given over to transporting prisoners between worlds. At the time of the [[Cylon attack]], she was carrying 1,500 male prisoners to their pardon hearings on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]. It was originally captained by [[Wilkens]] and crewed by guards such as [[Seaborne]] and [[Starke]]. Wilkens is later succeeded by political activist and former prisoner [[Tom Zarek]], first via hijacking, then formalized after parley with [[Lee Adama]], in exchange for the assistance of the prisoners in obtaining much-needed water ice for the Fleet.

Also Yashuman want´s the other Officer to "go to [his] window and look out", so Yashuman has to speak with a battlestar. -- [[User:HurricaneAC\|HurricaneAC]] 20:26, 18 November 2009 (UTC)		* I don´t think Yashuman is one of the battlestars above Caprica. In the dialogue between Yashuman and Caprica-control, Yashuman confirms the enemy by visual contact ("Caprica Control, Yashuman. Heavy bogeys, six plus, lower orbit, over grid 15-2."). Due to the virus the battlestars can´t confirm the Cylons. So Yashuman has to be a pilot who´s got visual contact. Also Yashuman want´s the other Officer to "go to [his] window and look out", so Yashuman has to speak with a battlestar. -- [[User:HurricaneAC\|HurricaneAC]] 20:26, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
		+	**I have to disagree: 1) At first, neither of the battlestars in that scene (or their viper squadrons) had received the Cylon shutdown code yet. Before the line of dialogue you quoted, the Hybrid says, "Accessing defense system. Handshake, handshake. Second level clear." The "defense system" wouldn't be individual ships, but would instead be something that's more centralized (and likely planet based)--the "Caprica Control" that is contacted by the ''Yashuman". ''If both Caprica Control and ''Yashuman'' had been hit simultaneously, there wouldn't have been an exchange about one party being able to see the Cylons and the other not being able to see them. It's not until after the exchange between Caprica Control and ''Yashuman'' that the battlestars and the vipers are scanned and given the shutdown code. 2) Why would a ship in orbit of Picon contact Caprica? It would most likely contact the nearest base, instead--"Picon Control." Besides, Picon was the headquarters of the Colonial Fleet, so a ship in orbit of Picon would be even less likely to contact Caprica Control. 3) If you look at the planet in the first shot, especially beneath the battlestars, a generous chunk of land is visible. A few minutes earlier, it was established that Picon has no large land masses at all, just tiny wisps of brown in that planetwide ocean. It could theoretically be another one of the Twelve Colonies, but since the story focus at the point was on just those two planets, it is most likely Caprica. Keeping all of this in mind, the ''Yashuman'' and the other battlestar would have to be in orbit of Caprica. -- [[User:BlueResistance\|BlueResistance]] 04:39, 20 November 2009 (UTC)''

== Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! ==

Greetings, {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Battlestar Wiki! I'm pleased to tell you that you have full editing privileges on every wiki in the Battlestar Wiki network. I hope you enjoy your stay with us and am looking forward to your contributions to the Wiki! Why not begin by telling us a bit about yourself on your own [[User:{{PAGENAME}}|user page]]?

As you may already know, Battlestar Wiki covers all the ''Battlestar Galactica'' series from past to present, in addition to authorized merchandise. Presently, we don't cover fan fiction, but our sister-site, [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]], does so. We're also not a discussion site, although we do have an ever-growing [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum] where people can discuss the various shows and non-BSG topics as well!

To get started on the wiki, we suggest that you check out our [[BW:TUT|tutorial]], experiment in [[BW:SAND|the sandbox]] (a test editing area for those learning wiki code), and review some of our basic [[BW:POL|policies]] (which have important differences from other SF wikis). For some general questions and answers about the navigation and operation of the Wiki, check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ).

Of course, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you are more than welcome to bring them up at the [[BW:CN|Chiefs' noticeboard]] (which is frequented by the administrators of the Wiki) and at the [[BW:GQ|Galactipedians' Quorum]] (which is the hub for contributors, who are called "Galactipedians").

Furthermore, if you don't wish to see the ads, then please consider upgrading your account to a [[BW:MEMBERSHIP|paid membership]], which costs only $10 USD a year and helps support the wiki financially. This membership also extends to the [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum], where you can talk to other members about the show and most anything that you want to talk about to BSG fans! We think this is very cool, and we hope you do as well!

Thank you for joining us! Hope to see you soon!

When it jumps to scout the Cylons' next projected position, ''Pegasus'' encounters the [[The Fleet (RDM)\|Fleet]] led by ''[[Galactica]]''; it turns out the Cylons are jumping to systems ''Galactica'' has passed through or explored.
