It is in weapons range of [[Kara Thrace]] and her party's stolen Cylon [[Heavy Raider]] when it returns from [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]], though it does not fire ([[TRS]]: "[[Home, Part I]]").

''Adriatric'' is among the ships chosen for outbound trip 1, along with along with ''[[Zephyr]]'', ''[[Chrion]]'', ''[[Pyxis]]'', ''[[Cybele]]'', ''[[Thera Sita]]'', and ''[[Enkidu]]'', and will be escorted by Raptor 118, piloted by [[Brendan Costanza]]. After offloading non crucial civilians to the ''Galactica'', they proceed, however she is lost when Costanza fails to locate her in the cluster, and is forced to jump to the next waypoint or suffer radiation poisoning. ([[TRS]]: "[[The Passage]]"). | ||
