== Last Days ==
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}}.

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.

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}}).

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.  


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}}).
