	* The practice of redesignating the president's spacecraft ''Colonial One'' mirrors real-life practice in the United States, in that any U. S. Air Force aircraft carrying the president is automatically given the call-sign ''Air Force One'' (Marine, Navy and civilian craft use the call signs "Marine One," "Navy One" and "Executive One," respectively). Correctly, the designation is only used when the president is on board. As ''Colonial One'' continues to be referred to as such even without the president aboard suggests the Colonies, or at least the Fleet, follow a different protocol. Despite President Roslin being based aboard ''Galactica'' for much of the time since the discovery of Earth, and with her effectively moving government and Quorum operations there (as indicated in "[[Deadlock]]") there appears to have been no attempt at following the naming protocol with regards to the battlestar, which otherwise should now be known as ''Colonial One''. This could also reflect Galactica's role as a naval carrier and not a mere passenger ship.		* The practice of redesignating the president's spacecraft ''Colonial One'' mirrors real-life practice in the United States, in that any U.

	Approximately 3 hours from Caprica, the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies\|Cylon attack]] commences. ''Colonial Heavy 798'' and Colonial press members hear of news that Caprica has been nuked along with three other Colonies. Secretary Roslin, as the highest government official on board, takes charge of the situation by setting up ''Colonial Heavy 798'' for long term use. Shortly after this news, a single [[Cylon Raider (RDM)\|Raider]] attacks ''Colonial Heavy 798''. Lee Adama is able to decoy a missile that targets the starliner and shoots it down. His Viper is damaged in the process, but ''Colonial Heavy 798'' recovers the Viper into its cargo bay {{TRS\|Miniseries}}.
