One such jump ship is utilized by the [[Monotheist Church]] to transport new recruits from the [[Gemenon]] spaceport to the [[Soldiers of the One]] training camp.


As part of initiation into the STO, new recruits are subjected to a simulated hijacking of the jump ship in which polytheist rebels take control and demand they renounce the "[[God (RDM)|The One True God]]" or face execution. Unaware that it is simply a test, [[Lacy Rand]] is the only recruit aboard her jump ship to go on the offensive, attacking the hijackers' leader―in actuality STO's training camp leader, [[Kevin Reikle]]―forcing [[Diego]] to end the simulation.

Part of the simulation includes actual physical contact between the jump ship and a larger aircraft, as well airlocking dummies dressed as monotheists who refuse to relent their faith {{CAP|Blowback}}.

:''The interior of the jump ship is a redress of the [[Metropolitan Levitation Mass Transit|MLMT train]] set from the ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]'' [[Caprica pilot|pilot]]. Distinctive bulkhead patterns identical to those seen aboard the ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' in the [[Re-imagined Series]] are present in both the jump ship and train sets.

* In the podcast commentary for "Blowback," [[Tom Lieber]] explains that director [[Omar Madha]] used "old school ''Star Trek'' techniques" for the hijacking sequence. The actors would physically shake in unison to simulate the ship being jostled and captured, a practical effect that was then combined with CGI.<ref>[[Podcast:Blowback|Podcast for "Blowback"]], timestamp 04:38</ref>
