'''Battlestars''' are {{alt-r|Twelve Colonies of Man|Colonial}} warships built in direct response to the [[Thousand Yahren War|generational war]] with the {{alt-r|Cylon Empire}}.

At the conclusion of that conflict in an [[alternate reality]], all battlestars constructed by the Colonials in this reality were destroyed either by or during the {{alt-r|Battle of Cimtar}}. 

==Battlestars==

Due to divergences between the primary and alternate reality that {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} and {{alt|Starbuck|TOS}} were flung into, the following are known battlestars that were named in {{comics|memorial}}. 

* ''{{inlineref|Pegasus}}''<ref>The presence of ''Pegasus'' and Apollo's journey aboard her suggest that the [[Battle of Molecay]] either did not occur or had a differing result.</ref>, destroyed by {{alt-r|Baltar}} himself while his aide {{alt-r|Apollo}} had been aboard ({{comics|vol2|5}}). 
* ''{{inlineref|Rycon}}'', {{alt-r|Adama}} served aboard her, but was denied a promotion and thus left the military service. It is presumed destroyed either before or at the Battle of Cimtar ({{comics|vol2|3}}). 
* Unnamed battlestar<ref>While one may assume that this is ''{{TOS|Atlantia}}'', given that this was {{alt|Adar|TOS|President Adar}}'s vessel in the primary timeline, this is neither confirmed nor denied in the issue. Battlestar Wiki thus errs on the side of caution, and does not presume to give name to the battlestar itself.</ref> commanded by {{alt-r|Tigh}}, which is also destroyed with all hands, save {{alt-r|Adama|President Adama}}'s ({{comics|vol2|3}}).

==''Galactica''==

''{{inlineref|Galactica}}'' was never commissioned in the alternate reality ({{comics|vol2|3}}), as the divergent alternate reality's creation sprung from an overloaded [[temporal battery]], thus removing ''Galactica'' from all existence in a [[temporal storm]] that only Apollo and Starbuck witness ({{comics|vol2|1}}).

However, ''Galactica'' from the primary reality was transported&mdash;sans crew&mdash;into the alternate reality, becoming an incongruous element. It is discovered by pirates lead by the privateer {{alt-r|Starbuck}}, who claim it as their own. Aboard her, Starbuck's crew of scientists and technicians acquire Cylon components, including an [[Imperious Leader]], devising a variety of anti-Cylon technologies. 

Such discoveries include the defensive [[sensor shield]], rendering ''Galactica'' invisible to Cylon scanning technologies ({{comics|vol2|4}}). 

''Galactica'' becomes the last known battlestar that [[Baltifer]] hunts for and nearly succeeds in finding, resulting in the [[Battle of Cache]]. After the temporally displaced Starbuck influences his alternate, ''Galactica'' becomes the lynchpin that allows not only the [[Colonial Resistance]] to seize its first decisive victory, but to repair history by saving itself from the [[Nebula Ambush]] ({{comics|vol2|5}}).
