Editing Aerian merchant code

[[Image:Aerian merchant code.jpg|thumb|A sampling of the merchant code as received by ''{{TOS|Galactica}}''.]]

The '''Aerian merchant code''' is a form of [[w:code (cryptography)|cryptography]] in use by {{TOS|The Twelve Colonies|Aeries}} merchants for at least 700 [[yahren]] prior to [[Battle of Cimtar|the fall of the Colonies]]. 

While the Aerian merchant code is apparently known to most {{TOS|Colonial Fleet|Colonial military}} units, the computer program used by {{TOS|Athena}} to discipher the code does not factor in merchant codes. This continues to be the case until [[Cassiopeia]] informs {{TOS|Adama}} that the coded transmissions that ''Galactica'' receives from [[Recon Viper 1]] are, in fact, human in origin, and not {{TOS|Cylons|Cylon}} as initially assumed.

Robber informs {{TOS|Apollo}} and {{TOS|Boomer}} that the code was passed down from his [[Original Sinner]], who was an Aerian robber {{OS|The Long Patrol}}.
