| | |
| '''''Celestra''''' is a ship within [[The Fleet (TOS)|the Fleet]].
| |
| | |
| == History ==
| |
| | |
| === Political unrest ===
| |
| | |
| During the political crisis following [[Adama (TOS-RH)|Commander Adama]]'s death, ''Celestra'' becomes one of several ships experiencing protests and civil unrest. The turmoil is sparked by [[Puck (TOS-RH)|Ambassador Puck]]'s campaign for command of the fleet and his spreading of rumors that [[Apollo (TOS-RH)|Lieutenant Commander Apollo]] has betrayed the fleet to rendezvous with [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] agents.
| |
| | |
| Protests erupt aboard ''Celestra'', along with ''[[Galactica (TOS-RH)|Galactica]]'', ''[[Rising Star (TOS-RH)|Rising Star]]'', ''[[Delphi (TOS-RH)|Delphi]]'', and numerous other vessels throughout the fleet. These demonstrations are eventually dispersed without violence, though the underlying tensions remain. Flight crews refuse to work, and over one hundred ships experience strikes or literal mutinies in some cases. The most extreme response comes from ''[[Scorpius Ascendant (TOS-RH)|Scorpius Ascendant]]'', which declares independence from the fleet entirely.<ref name="ARM223">{{cite book|last=Hatch|first=Richard|authorlink=Richard Hatch|coauthors=[[Christopher Golden|Golden, Christopher]]|title=[[Armageddon (Book)|Armageddon]]|publisher=ibooks, inc.|month=May|year=2005|pages=223}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| The widespread unrest aboard ''Celestra'' and other vessels reflects the deep divisions within the fleet's population over leadership and the fleet's future direction. Many civilians desire to abandon the search for [[Earth (TOS)|Earth]] and instead colonize the first suitable planet they encounter, creating a fundamental conflict with Commander Adama's vision {{RH|Armageddon}}.

| == Notes ==
| |
| | |
| * ''[[Celestra (TOS)|Celestra]]'' also appears in the {{OS|Take the Celestra|prose=y}}, where it serves as an electronics ship commanded by [[Kronus]].
