[[ | '''Intersun''' is the name of a starline company in operation throughout the [[Twelve Colonies]]. | ||
'' | ''Starlines are analogous to airlines such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Airlines Northwest Airlines] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines American Airlines] of the real-world Earth.'' | ||
[[Image:Intersun Pilot.jpg|thumb|200px|The captain of one of Intersun's last flights, ''Colonial Heavy 798'', played by [[IMDB:Barclay%20Hope|Barclay Hope]] (credit: Universal/Sci-Fi Channel)]] | |||
Intersun apparently offered many flights to and from cities scattered about the Twelve Colonies. Almost all of their passenger liners were likely to be [[FTL]]-capable to handle the distances between each colony, but as with real-world Earth airlines, there were likely [[sublight]] passenger shuttles to move supersonically or hypersonically across a Colonial world from city to city. | |||
Of the Intersun starliners, viewers have seen: | |||
*'''[[Colonial Heavy 798]]''' | |||
:''Colonial Heavy 798'' was the flight number for an small Intersun liner of [[The Twelve Colonies#Caprica|Caprican registry]] chartered by the Colonial Government (thus its flight designation) to ferry [[Laura Roslin]], other minor officials, and the [[Fleet News Service|members of the Colonial press]] to [[Original battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'' for its decommissioning ceremony. ''Colonial Heavy 798'' was redesignated ''Colonial One'' by its pilot after Laura Roslin was sworn-in as President of the Twelve Colonies after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attacks]]. This starliner becomes President Roslin's principal residence and office. | |||
*'''[[Olympic Carrier]]''' | |||
:The ''Olympic Carrier'' is a large Intersun luxury passenger liner that seated as many as 1,000 passengers comfortably. Overpacked with other refugees after the exodus from the destroyed worlds of the Twelve Colonies, the ''Carrier'' was known to have 1,345 passengers onboard when it failed to make a Jump with the [[Fleet]] as they continued their flight from a relentless Cylon force. When it returned to the Fleet, it had apparently been compromised by Cylon forces and was armed with a nuclear warhead. ''Galactica's'' Vipers destroy the ship to prevent it from threatening the Fleet ([[33]]). | |||
