| Refugees are primarily from [[The Twelve Colonies of Man#Gemoni|Gemoni]] and are living in the ship's freight containers. The freighter is one of several ships suspected of having a [[solium]] leak, which led to the rescue of [[Cassiopeia]] and the fact that [[Sire]] [[Uri]] was greedily hoarding supplies onboard the luxury liner ''[[Rising Star]]''. It would later travel to [[Carillon]] and remain in orbit over the planet until Carillon's [[Battle of Carillon|destruction]] {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}. | |

| === Interior === | | == ''Galactica 1980'' == |
| The interior of the freighter consists primarily of storage bays with containers, although the ship does have living quarters and other compartments.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Siress Belloby's Compartment ===
| | The freighter ''Gemini'' survives the journey to [[Earth (1980)|Earth]]. As news spread of their discover, [[Dillon]] walks through the ship, greeting survivors and telling them "we've made it" en route to [[Troy]]'s quarters.<ref>In the opening scenes where [[Adama (1980)|Adama]] does a voiceover telling them of children born in deep space and how [[Doctor Zee]] is a "cerebral mutation", Dillon is seen walking through the makeshift habitations from storage crates in the set previously used to depict the ''Gemini'' in "[[Saga of a Star World]]" and "[[War of the Gods, Part I]]" of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]].</ref> |
| Unlike a majority of survivors, [[Siress]] [[Belloby]] has her own compartment outside of the container tenements, accessible through a corridor festooned with various detritus of components and equipment. She subsequently vacates the compartment upon resettling in the [[agro colony]] [[Serenity]] upon [[Sectar (planet)|Sectar]] {{OS|The Magnificent Warriors}}.<gallery>

| === Appearances ===
| | * An identical freighter, with the same markings (including the name ''Gemini'' on the hull) is shown in the ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' episode "[[The Super Scouts, Part I]]". It is referred to as the ''Delphi'', but is clearly stock footage from "[[Saga of a Star World]]". |

| === Behind the Scenes ===
| |
| | |
| With sets being built last-minute during shooting of "[[Saga of a Star World]]," [[Richard Colla]] made use of his theater background and devised what is likely one of the most simplistic sets seen in the [[Original Series]].
| |
| | |
| The interior sets of the ship were filmed in Stage 12 at [[w:California|California]]'s [[w:Universal Studios|Universal Studios]], using forty-foot shipping containers stacked on top of each other and using green beds<ref>"Green beds" are industry terminology for scaffolding suspended by chains above sets, from which movie lights are mounted.</ref> for ramps.<ref name="galtv">{{cite_web|url=http://www.galactica.tv/battlestar-galactica-1978-interviews/richard-colla-galactica.tv-interview.html|title=Richard Colla GALACTICA.TV interview|date=29 April 2008|accessdate=2 June 2019|last=Egnor|first=Mike|format=|language=}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| To show a sense of scale and depth, [[Richard Colla]] not only had footage shot using 300 to 600 millimeter lenses but also used smoke machines.<ref name="galtv"/>
