'''''Gemenon Liner 1701''''' is one of the first ships to be found by [[Laura Roslin]] and ''[[Colonial One]]'' after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] on the Twelve Colonies. By the time the ship is found, it is in a spin and nearly powerless.
'''''Gemenon Liner 1701''''' is one of the first ships to join [[the Fleet (RDM)|a convoy of stranded ships]] growing around ''[[Colonial One]]'' in the midst of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. Its name is given in dialogue by the captain of ''Colonial One'' as he greets it ([[Miniseries]]).
 
Only a few moments after the ship is found, two [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raiders]] appear and launch nuclear missiles at the convoy. {{callsign|Lee Adama}} uses ''Colonial One'''s own [[Propulsion in the Re-imagined Series#Faster-Than-Light travel|FTL drive]] to flood an energy coil being stored in its hangar bay with an excess of energy, thereby producing an [[EMP|electromagnetic pulse]].  The pulse confuses the Cylon [[DRADIS]] into displaying a nuclear detonation, and has the added effect of disarming the nuclear warheads, thereby saving the convoy {{TRS|Miniseries}}.
 
Following the attack, the ship is evacuated and left derelict, as there is no time to repair it, and it never becomes part of the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]].


==Notes==
==Notes==
*The ''Gemenon Liner 1701'' seems to share many of the ''[[Olympic Carrier]]''{{'|s}} design features, suggesting a common manufacturer.
* Throughout the series, a Gemon Liners passenger liner is seen throughout the fleet. This cannot be ''Gemenon Liner 1701'' as it was abandoned in the Miniseries.
* During an exterior shot just prior to this scene, ''Colonial One'', a ''[[Gemenon Traveler]]''/''[[Kimba Huta]]'' type ship, and a [[Flattop]]-type ship can be seen approaching a red [[luxury liner]], engaged in a clockwise spin. The captain of ''Colonial One'' announces that they will be approaching the liner's starboard docking hatch, which matches the physical arrangement of the ships in the external shot.
* The CGI model of this ship, made available on [[Gabriel Köerner]]'s [http://gabekoerner.com/fx/splash.htm website], identifies a liner in similar red livery as belonging to [[Gemon Liners]].
* The number '1701' is an in-joke to the registry numbers of the various ''[[MemoryAlpha:USS Enterprise|Enterprise]]''s featured in ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' and ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek: The Next Generation]].'' [[Ron D. Moore]] was a long-time writer for the ''Star Trek'' sequels.

The CGI model of this ship, made available on [[Gabriel Köerner]]'s [http://gabekoerner.com/fx/splash.htm website], identifies an intersun liner in similar red livery as "[[Gemon Liners]]". The spelling discrepancy is interesting, but as the name cannot be resolved on-screen, it probably isn't worth pursuing.
