'''Colonial Movers''' is a company that operates at least six container ships of the same type that survived the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] {{TRS|Miniseries}}.  
'''Colonial Movers''' is a company that operates three container ships that survived the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] ([[Miniseries]], et al.).  


One of the Colonial Movers ships is used as a decoy during the [[Battle for the Tylium Asteroid|attack on a Cylon mining outpost]]. Although appearing to be a helpless mining ship, it is in fact carrying Captain {{callsign|Lee Adama}}'s strike force of {{RDM|Viper}}s hidden in one of its cargo containers {{TRS|The Hand of God (RDM)}}.

Although appearing to be a helpless mining ship, it is in fact carrying [[Lee Adama|Captain Lee Adama's]] strike force of [[Viper (RDM)|Vipers]] hidden in one of its cargo containers ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).


At least two of the Colonial Movers ships jumps with the [[Laura Roslin faction]] to {{RDM|Kobol}} when the Fleet splits in two {{TRS|The Farm}} {{TRS|Home, Part I}}.
At least one of the Colonial Movers ships is seen jumping with [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] to [[Kobol]] when the fleet divides in two ([[The Farm]]). Also, one of the Colonial Movers ships is apparently destroyed by the nuclear blast that destroyed the [[Cloud 9]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).
 
One of the Colonial Movers ships is destroyed by the nuclear explosion on ''[[Cloud 9]]'' {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II}}. At least threeof them landed on [[New Caprica]] {{TRS|Precipice}} and would later escape back to the Fleet {{TRS|Exodus, Part II}} while two others remained with ''Galactica'' in orbit {{TRS|Occupation}} {{TRS|Precipice}} {{TRS|Exodus, Part I}}. Eventually they would all unite following the [[Battle of New Caprica]] {{TRS|Exodus, Part II}}.
 
The ships would survive the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]], having lost power with the rest of the fleet, with one of them passed by a [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raider]] and a [[Viper Mark II]] flown by [[Ensign]] [[Samuel T. Anders|Samuel "Longshot" Anders]] ("[[He That Believeth in Me]]")
 
The ships would later jump to [[Earth (TRS)|Earth]], where they found it to be uninhabitable ("[[Revelations]]").
 
When the fleet arrived at their new home, the remaining ''Colonial Movers'' were guided by [[Samuel T. Anders|Anders]] into the sun. {{TRS|Daybreak, Part II}}

* At least two Colonial Movers ships appear in the {{TOS|Battlestar Galactica|Original Series}} as well, with a similar design and the same slogan. They can be seen prominently during "[[Saga of a Star World]]," when the ships are first escaping the Colonies. They do not figure prominently in any TOS story line, however.

*Plastic model enthusiasts may recognize the front of the ship as an element of the heat shield of the second stage engines of a [[Wikipedia:Saturn V|Saturn V]] moon rocket model.
