| | | The '''''Celestra''''' was listed on vote tally boards in [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]], but has otherwise never been mentioned or seen. The ''[[Striker]]'', however, appears to be of the same configuration as the original series ''[[Celestra (TOS)|Celestra]].'' |
| '''''Celestra''''' is an extended-duration research ship, in service with the Colonials by the tenth year of the First [[Cylon War]]. Prior to [[William Adama]] and [[Coker Fasjovik]] receiving their orders for a "milk run," a crewman on the ''Celestra'' can be heard contacting the ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'''s [[CIC]]. The ship was then operating under [[Virgon (RDM)|Virgon]] registry {{TRS|Blood and Chrome}}. | |
| | |
| 40 years later, ''Celestra'' is still in service, and part of [[The Fleet (TRS)|the fleet]] that escaped from [[Ragnar]] immediately after the [[fall of the Twelve Colonies]] {{TRS|Miniseries, Night 2}}.
| |
| | |
| It is listed on the [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]]/[[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] presidential election tally boards, along with the names of other ships in the fleet {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II}}.
| |
| | |
| ''Celestra'' survives the fleet's four-year voyage from the [[Twelve Colonies of Kobol|the Twelve Colonies]] to [[Earth_(RDM)#A_New_Earth|the unknown planet]] where the last surviving humans and rebel [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylons]] eventually settle. After the population of the fleet votes to abandon its advanced technology, ''Celestra'' is remotely piloted into the planet's sun along with the remaining ships {{TRS|Daybreak, Part II}}.

| ==Notes==
| |
| *''Celestra'' is first seen near the end of [[Miniseries, Night 2|Part II of the Miniseries]], emerging from the [[Ragnar Anchorage]] vortex under covering fire from ''Galactica'' during the Cylon assault, as well as in the first-season episode "[[Water]]." Part of it is visible to the left of ''Colonial One'' in the shot before Roslin speaks to Lee Adama.
| |
| *The special effects company for the Re-imagined Series created the SFX rendering of ''Celestra'' in this article.
| |
| *The ship was mentioned on the official ''Battlestar Galactica'' web site hosted by the [[Sci Fi Channel]].
| |
| *''[[Striker]]'' appears to be of the same configuration as ''Celestra''.
| |
| *The ship's name and design is an homage to the [[Original Series]] {{TOS|Celestra|ship}} from the episode "[[Take the Celestra]]".
| |
| *Ships of this class were in use by the Colonial military during the First Cylon war ([[Blood and Chrome]]).
