| |
| ''Gemini'' is one of the [[The Fleet (TOS)|220 ships]] that flees the Colonies following the [[Battle of Cimtar]]. Formerly a freighter, many survivors fled to the ship and create tenements within the freight containers loaded in its bays. | |
|
| |
|
| == [[Original Series]] ==
| | The ''Gemini'' appears in the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] as the ship where [[Cassiopeia]] is rescued in "[[Saga of a Star World (TOS)|Saga of a Star World]]." Refugees are primarily from the [[Gemenon]] Colony and are living in the ship's freight containers. The freighter is one of several ships suspected of having a solium leak. |

|
| 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}}.
| | 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]]." |
| | |
| {{TOS|Adama}} is forced to pay a visit to ''Gemini'' in order to attempt to woo [[Siress]] [[Belloby]] in exchange for an [[energizer]] she owns that he hopes to trade for [[agro]] supplies {{OS|The Magnificent Warriors}}.
| |
| | |
| [[Count]] [[Iblis]] plays the part of demagogue aboard ''Gemini'', promising food to the hungry masses in exchange for their support. After securing their allegiance word comes in that the [[Agro Ship]] was seeing a miraculous crop appear {{OS|War of the Gods, Part I}}.
| |
| | |
| === Interior ===
| |
| 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 ===
| |
| 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>

| |
| | |
| === Maintenance and Engineering Areas ===
| |
| Following the exodus from the Colonies, Captain [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Beta company|Beta Company]] crawl along the "outside" of the freighter in search of [[solium]] leaks. Such areas consist of various conduits, pipes, and industrial equipment {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}.

| | |
| == ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' ==
| |
| | |
| 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 (1980)|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 {{TOS|Battlestar Galactica|Original Series}}.</ref>
| |
| | |
| Apparently, Troy lives aboard this ship, as he is packing his personal effects, including a picture of him with his parents, [[Serina]] and {{TOS|Apollo}} {{G80|Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I}}.

| == Notes ==
| |
| | |
| === 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 ''[[Delphi (ship)|Delphi]]'', but this is clearly stock footage from "[[Saga of a Star World]]".
| |
| * This freighter appears in the [[Galactica 1980 4|fourth issue of the re-imagined ''Galactica 1980'']] comic book series released by [[Dynamite Entertainment]]. ''Gemini'' is referred to as a [[planetary expeditionary vehicle]] ("PEV") carrier.

| | |
| === 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"/>
