	'''''~~Galactica~~'''~~'' is~~ the last ~~known surviving~~ [[~~battlestar (TOS)~~\|~~battlestar~~]], ~~which leads the "[[The Fleet (~~TOS)\|~~Rag~~-~~Tag Fugitive Fleet~~]]~~" on a lonely quest to find~~ [[~~Earth (TOS)\|Earth~~]].		By way of materials from an unnamed planet the Fleet encounters during its exodus, an obsolete freighter is both repurposed and rechristened as ''Hephaestus''. Using these materials, ''Hephaestus'' becomes the Forge from whence the construction of two new {{TOS-RH\|Viper}} classes and updated technologies<ref>{{cite_book\|last=Hatch\|first=Richard\|authorlink=Richard Hatch\|authorlinkurl=\|coauthors=[[Christopher Golden]]\|year=1997\|title=[[Armaggedon]]\|publisher=Byron Preiss\|pages=pg. 81}}</ref> , including {{TOS-RH\|laser pistol}}s that can only be used by their owners as of {{TOS-RH\|7358}}<ref>{{cite_book\|last=Hatch\|first=Richard\|authorlink=Richard Hatch\|authorlinkurl=\|coauthors=[[Christopher Golden]]\|year=1997\|title=[[Armaggedon]]\|publisher=Byron Preiss\|pages=pg. 117}}</ref>, came.

	~~Built about {{TOS-RH\|6842}}~~, ''~~Galactica~~'' ~~differs from other battlestars of her ilk with~~ the ~~addition~~ of a ~~[[sanctuary]], built~~ and ~~hidden in secret as directed by members of the [[House of Kobol]] {{RH\|Armageddon}}~~.		In its reconstruction, ''Hephaestus'' features a lounge overseeing the construction and repair berths, so that operators of their vessels may wait while repairs are underway. For longer repairs, a shuttle is available to return operators and Warriors to their assigned vessels<ref name="p113"/>.

	Despite the brief reunion of Commander {{TOS-RH\|Cain}}'s ''{{TOS-RH\|Pegasus}}'', survivors of the human race believe ''Galactica'' to be the last known battlestar to survive the Cylons' assault against the Colonies themselves, until a later reunion with this battleship after {{TOS-RH\|7360}} ~~{{RH\|Warhawk~~}}.		In {{TOS-RH\|7360}}}, its captain, [[Heimdall]], and his crew back the movement to install Ambassador [[Puck]] as commander of both ''{{TOS-RH\|Galactica}}'' and the Fleet<ref>{{cite_book\|last=Hatch\|first=Richard\|authorlink=Richard Hatch\|authorlinkurl=\|coauthors=[[Christopher Golden]]\|year=1997\|title=[[Armaggedon]]\|publisher=Byron Preiss\|pages=pg. 162}}</ref>. This is likely due to the fact that ''Hephaestus''{{'\|s}} crew were paid notoriously low wages<ref name="p113"/>.

	~~== Layout ==~~

	~~=== Quarters ===~~

	~~''Galactica''{{'\|s}} crew quarters are compartmentalized: ship's crew and infantry are on a singular deck~~, ~~distinctly separate and distant from the pilots berths. The pilots' quarters were situated in close proximity to the launch bays, to facilitate rapid deployment.~~

	~~The officers' wing of the crew and infantry deck features warm green walls~~, adorned with lamps set every few {{TOS-RH\|metron}}s for aesthetics rather than practical illumination.<ref name="p50">{{cite_book\|last=Hatch\|first=Richard\|authorlink=Richard Hatch\|authorlinkurl=\|coauthors=[[~~Christopher Golden~~]]~~\|year=1997\|title=[[Armaggedon]]\|publisher=Byron Preiss\|pages=pg. 50}}</ref>~~

	~~At the time of Adama's passing in 7360~~, ~~the commander's quarters, while located on this singular deck, featured no signage identifying said quarters as~~ his~~, a tradition that {{TOS-RH\|Apollo}} agreed with. The commander of~~ the ~~battlestar was expected~~ to ~~take up residence in said quarters, likely due to its proximity of a secret and well-hidden~~ [[~~sanctuary~~]] ~~that can only be accessed through the~~ commander'~~s quarters.<ref name="p50"/>~~

	~~=== Sanctuary ===~~

	~~Accessible only through the commander~~'~~s quarters via a door that, in any other compartment, would have been mistaken for a closet door was a~~ {{TOS-RH\|~~Kobollian~~}} sanctuary. This private sanctuary was a storehouse of surviving Kobollian knowledge, doubling as a place for meditation and the practice of Kobollian mental arts for metamorphosing into a higher state of consciousness, and built into ''~~Galactica'' in secret.~~

	Within the oval room is a tall antique wooden chair, the only item Apollo felt gave off warmth, particularly in stark contrast of the smooth, cold surroundings that both gleamed and shimmered. The walls of the sanctuary are adorned with drawn star maps originating from legend, featuring not only the {{TOS-RH\|Twelve Colonies of Man}}, but also {{TOS-RH\|Kobol}} and the solar system of {{TOS-RH\|Earth}}. These drawings were illuminated by the Kobollian computer, the centerpiece of the room.

	This centerpiece computer features technology outpacing the Colonial technology of {{TOS-RH\|seventh millenium}}, its output only holographic in nature and featuring the ability to record messages in three-dimensional holographic form, such as the final message that {{TOS-RH\|Adama}} recorded for his son. Aesthetically the computer hued to organic forms, featuring a glittering gold and silver shell and ~~with "sides curving up as if to embrace~~ the ~~user."~~<ref>{{cite_book\|last=Hatch\|first=Richard\|authorlink=Richard Hatch\|authorlinkurl=\|coauthors=[[Christopher Golden]]\|year=1997\|title=[[Armaggedon]]\|publisher=Byron Preiss\|pages=pg. 53}}</ref>

	~~== Enhancements ==~~

	~~Throughout~~ the ~~18 {{TOS-RH\|yahren}} since the [[Battle at Galaxy~~'~~s Edge]] in "[[The Hand of God (TOS)\|The Hand of God]]",~~ ''~~Galactica~~'' ~~has been upgraded with new technologies.~~

	Its computer systems and instrumentation are controlled by voice commands, which is introduced in "[[Murder on the Rising Star]]". The computer systems are also automated, with each console having both a flatscreen and holographic functions. On the [[core command\|~~bridge]], the voice response programs were keyed to individual voices, so as to avoid conflicting voice commands from other officers within earshot. As of 7360, those features~~ were ~~still being tested, but were functional enough for military use.~~<ref~~>{{cite_book\|last~~=~~Hatch\|first=Richard\|authorlink=Richard Hatch\|authorlinkurl=\|coauthors=[[Christopher Golden]]\|year=1997\|title=[[Armaggedon]]\|publisher=Byron Preiss\|pages=pg. 37}}<~~/~~ref~~>
