	* There are also at least [[Long-necked vessel\|two vessels]] of similar design — though missing the botanical greenhouse domes — in ''Galactica'''s fleet seen orbiting [[New Caprica]] in [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]. One is destroyed in the ''[[Cloud 9]]'' disaster. The surviving vessel is regularly seen in the fleet throughout the Fourth Season. It is unclear if these vessels are related.		* There are also at least [[Long-necked vessel\|two vessels]] of similar design — though missing the botanical greenhouse domes — in ''Galactica'''s fleet seen orbiting [[New Caprica]] in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]."
