The '''Flattop type''' is a form of mobile rescue and repair vessel operating in the [[Colonial Auxiliary Fleet]] since the [[First Cylon War]]. During the war, they assisted battlestar groups in firefighting and in recovery and repair of troubled Fleet ships (''[[Blood and Chrome]]''). | |||
Over forty years later, they are still in service, and at least two of these ships, ''[[Virgon Express]]'' and ''[[Carina]]'', are able to escape with ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' following the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] ([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]]). | |||
