'''The Fleet''', also known as the "'''rag tag, fugitive fleet'''<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference">[[#cite_note-14|<span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket"><nowiki>]</nowiki></span>]]</sup>", is a convoy consisting of the last remnants of the [/Twelve_Colonies_of_Man Twelve Colonies of Man].

<span></span>
==Origin<mw:editsection page="Colonial Fleet" section="6">Origin</mw:editsection>==
<span></span>

After the destruction of the [/The_Twelve_Colonies_of_Man Twelve Colonies] in a devastating genocidal attack on the Colonial worlds, Commander [/Adama_(TOS) Adama] orders all survivors to find what operational ships that remain on their shattered worlds and fly them towards [/Battlestar_(TOS) battlestar] ''[/Galactica_(TOS) Galactica]'', the sole surviving battlestar after her sister warships are also [/Battle_of_Cimtar destroyed] in the two-prong [/Cylons_(TOS) Cylon] [/Battle_of_Cimtar attack]. With nowhere else to call home, Adama decrees that the remnants of humanity will search for the [/Thirteenth_Tribe_(TOS) Thirteenth Tribe] on a planet called [/Earth_(TOS) Earth].

Under ''Galactica''<nowiki>{{#parsoid\0fragment:1}}</nowiki>'s aegis, the Fleet comprises 220 civilian ships of various creeds and assortments, including [/Borellian_Nomen Borellian Nomen].  With the exception of ''Galactica'', the ships are not capable of [/Lightspeed lightspeed] flight.  The Fleet's overall speed is limited to that of the slowest ship within the group. As all ships in the Fleet were either filled to or over capacity, removing the slower ships from the caravan is not an option.
