	During the twelfth year of the war, it is assigned to [[Operation Raptor Talon]] along with at least two other battlestars, including ''[[Galactica (TRS)\|Galactica]]'', where they attempt to attack a Cylon post on an [[Ice_planet\|ice planet in or near Colonial space]]. Halfway through the operation, ''Columbia''{{'\|s}} mid-ship defense zone fails, and it is targeted by [[Cylons (RDM)\|Cylon]] forces. Despite attempts by Colonial [[Viper (RDM)\|Viper]] pilots to fend off the attacks, ''Columbia'', on fire and adrift in space, is destroyed a short time later. Someone on the ship has enough time to send out a warning for pilots to clear its airspace before an explosion tears through its hull. ''Columbia'' is one of the last ships lost during the war, with the Cylons signing an [[Cimtar (RDM)\|armistice]] shortly after the ship's destruction.

	It resembles other battlestars of its class during the war, with hull plating covering its ribbing and the Colonial seal and hull number printed on the side of the "alligator head" forward section. However, it is finished with blue paint rather than red, as seen on ''Galactica''{{'\|s}} hull ([[~~TRS~~]]~~: "~~[[~~Razor Flashbacks~~]]").

			=== Script Version Details ===
			The pre-production script for ''[[Blood and Chrome]]'' identifies ''Columbia'' as one of ''Galactica''{{'\|s}} sister ships, mentioned alongside ''[[Prometheus]]'' in the context of the war's progression.<ref>''[[Blood and Chrome]]'' [{{fullurl:File:B&C Pre-Production Draft - 11-30-10 - Version 01.FDX.pdf\|page=3}} pre-production script dated 30 November 2010], pg. 2</ref> The script describes these battlestars as part of the Colonial Fleet that is "showing the Cylon no quarter" during the conflict, emphasizing their role as the backbone of Colonial resistance against the Cylon forces. This reference reinforces ''Columbia''{{'\|s}} status as one of the primary battlestars in active service during the war's most intense period.

	* The name ''Columbia'' is a derivation of the name of fifteenth century Genoan explorer [[Wikipedia:Christopher Columbus\|Christopher Columbus]], which itself is derived from the Latin ''columba'', meaning "dove" or "pigeon".
