Circa YR04, it is requisitioned for military use by Admiral [[William Adama]] following the return of Cpt. [[Kara Thrace]] for a mission to locate [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] {{TRS|Six of One}}, however, the surviving 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 {{TRS|The Ties That Bind}}. ''Demetrius'' is scheduled to rendezvous with the Fleet after two months or be presumed destroyed. ''Demetrius'' is accompanied by a detachment of five Vipers that are magnetically secured to the ship, and a Raptor that is secured to a docking hatch on either side of the vessel. | ||
After encountering a [[Heavy Raider]] with a copy of [[Leoben Conoy (New Caprica copy)|Leoben Conoy]] aboard, however, Thrace decides to abandon the plan to return to the fleet. 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 {{TRS|The Road Less Traveled}}. Eventually, the Raptor is launched to the basestar, while the ship remains in its current location. After the baseship is cleared, both it and ''Demetrius'' sync their FTL drives to return to the fleet simultaneously, however, a malfunction in ''Demetrius''{{'|s}} FTL drive causes the baseship to jump to the fleet alone. It ends up in the middle of the Colonial Fleet causing civilian vessels, along with ''Galactica'', to scramble before ''Demetrius'' jumps in to defuse the situation ([[TRS]]: "[[Guess What's Coming To Dinner]]"). Following its return to the fleet, control of the ship is immediately returned to the previous owners. | After encountering a [[Heavy Raider]] with a copy of [[Leoben Conoy (New Caprica copy)|Leoben Conoy]] aboard, however, Thrace decides to abandon the plan to return to the fleet.
