| '''''Ariadna''''' is a civilian pleasure liner of the {{alt|Twelve Colonies of Man}}. In the aftermath of the {{alt|Battle of Cimtar}}, the ship holds eight hundred refugees fleeing the Cylon tyranny in the {{alt|the Fleet|TOS|rag-tag fugitive fleet}}. | |

| |
| | |
| Following the [[Nebula Ambush]], ''Ariadna'' suffers from engine malfunctions. Colonel {{alt|Tigh|TOS}} and an engineering team from ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' attempt to repair the craft while ''Galactica'' sends out two flights, each investigating a [[storm zone]] and an unnamed, yet well-mapped quadrant. Despite issues, Tigh's repair team is able to re-engage the ship's engines, and enter the storm zone ({{comics|vol2|6}}).
| |
|
| |
|
| Following the [[Battle of the Artifact|departure from the storm zone]], ''Ariadna''{{'|s}} engine failure recurs, forcing the Fleet to stop so that the ship isn't left behind. Tigh is given two [[centar]]s to effect repairs, otherwise her compliment of passengers and supplies is to be evacuated, and the ship abandoned. Overseen by {{alt|Viper|TOS}}s of [[red flight]], Tigh makes the call to evacuate the ship but the colonel and his engineering team stays aboard to continue repairs up until the last possible centon.
| | Captain [[Adama (TOS alternate)|Adama]] and his wingman [[Tigh (TOS alternate)|Tigh]] serve as [[Viper (TOS alternate)|Viper]] pilots during the attack on [[Umbra]] in [[7322]]. |
|
| |
|
| During the third evacuation flight, a force of {{alt|Cylon|TOS}} {{alt|Raider|TOS}}s and a {{alt|basestar|TOS}} happen upon the group, [[Defense of Ariadna|forcing an engagement]] ({{comics|vol2|10}}).
| | When the Cylons were detected approaching [[Caprica (TOS alternate)|Caprica]], Adama has [[Ila (alternate)|Ila]], [[Apollo (TOS alternate)|Apollo]] and [[Athena (TOS alternate)|Athena]] evacuated to ''Rylon''. |
|
| |
|
| Tigh and his tech team are the last aboard, however the Cylons strike ''Ariadna''{{'|s}} launch bay, destroying the last evacuation shuttle and stranding the team aboard. With no other options, Tigh turns ''Ariadna''{{'|s}}—its fusion reactor shot to the point where any additional strain would cause stress-fractures, resulting in an explosion—into a warhead. During the resulting battle, Tigh and his crew set the hulk into a suicide run towards the lone basestar while ''Galactica'' closes to engage not only the basestar, but also send a rescue shuttle to recover Tigh and the surviving technicians.
| | Later after the battle, Adama brings aboard the boy who saved his life in the [[Thorn forest]] for medical care. Unable to determine the boy's parents or identity, Adama provides a ''Rylon'' medic with a name: [[Starbuck (TOS alternate)|Starbuck]] (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1]]''). |
| | |
| The resultant explosion from ''Ariadna''{{'|s}} reactor rips apart the basestar's forward shields, allowing ''Galactica'' to strike a fatal blow towards their enemy, thus ending the battle and permitting the Fleet to escape ({{comics|vol2|11}}).

|
| * ''Ariadna'' is a variant of the [[Re-imagined Series]]{{'}} ''[[Gemenon Traveler]]'', with five engines at its aft instead of three. | | * The writers of ''[[Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1]]'' may have meant to call this ship ''[[Rycon]]'', a ship that Adama served on under [[Commander]] [[Kronus]] as noted in "[[Take the Celestra]]." |
| * The name, Ariadna, belongs to a genus of [[w:Ariadna|tube-dwelling spider]].
