'''''Demetrius''''' is a sewage processing ship in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. | The '''''Demetrius''''' is a sewage processing ship in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. When [[Kendra Shaw]] tries to tune in to a [[Talk Wireless]] interview with Gaius Baltar, she picks up a transmission from the ''[[Adriatic]]'' to the ''Demetrius'' concerning cargo wasting in ''Adriatics'''s holds ([[Razor]]). | ||
After | After [[Kara Thrace]]'s return, a torn [[William Adama]] sends Thrace and a hand-picked crew in the ''Demetrius'' on a mission to find [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]], despite [[Laura Roslin]]'s warnings that Thrace is not to be trusted ([[Six of One]]). The Colonial public are told that they are on a survey mission to find food sources, though its disappearance is a matter of considerable media attention ([[The Ties That Bind]]). | ||
''Demetrius'' is | After two months, the ''Demetrius'' is scheduled to rendezvous with the Fleet or be presumed destroyed. After encountering a [[Heavy Raider]] with a copy of [[Leoben Conoy (New Caprica copy)|Leoben Conoy]] aboard, however, Thrace decides to abandon the plan. Conoy offers an alliance between the humans and his faction in the [[Cylon civil war]], and Thrace wants to accompany him to his [[Basestar (RDM)|baseship]] in order to learn what the Cylons know about Earth, but her crew refuses to carry out the order ([[The Road Less Traveled]]). | ||
The ''Demetrius'' is accompanied by a detachment of five Vipers and a Raptor that are magnetically secured to the ship — four Vipers on the dorsal platform, and a Viper and a Raptor on the ventral one. At least one docking hatch exists on the port side. | |||
