Editing Phoenix

The '''Phoenix''' is a vehicle utilized by civilians and military personnel in the [[Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Twelve Worlds]], including [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] and [[Gemenon]] in the years before the [[First Cylon War]].  A progenitor to the [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)|Colonial Fleet]]'s [[Raptor]], the Phoenix is a mainstay in [[Caprica City]] where it can frequently be seen flying above the skyline.  The Phoenix is driven by maneuvering [[Propulsion in the Re-imagined Series#Sublight propulsion|thrusters]] and features [[DRADIS]] capabilities ([[CAP]]: "[[Know Thy Enemy]]", "[[End of Line]]", "[[Things We Lock Away]]", "[[Blowback]]").

Following its escape from [[Graystone Industries]]' labs in Caprica City, a military Phoenix is dispatched to pursue a rogue [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit]] robot.  Ordered not to engage the prototypical [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]], the Phoenix chases the Graystone Industries van carrying the robot out of Caprica City and into the outlying mountain region ([[CAP]]: "[[End of Line]]").

Graystone Industries itself possesses Phoenix aircraft for use as private transports by the company's CEO, painted white and blue and bearing the Graystone "G" logo, the Phoenix can land atop the Graystone tower in downtown Caprica City ([[CAP]]: "[[Things We Lock Away]]").

When Doctors [[Amanda|Amanda Graystone]] and [[Daniel Graystone]] are falsely accused of being members of the [[Soldiers of the One]] terror organization by corrupt [[Global Defense Department]] director [[Gara Singh]], the husband and wife duo escape their home in Graystone's Phoenix jet.  Taking off from a landing pad at the front of the [[Graystone Estate]], the Phoenix is piloted through Caprica City, landing in a clearing in [[Caprica City#Orpheus Park|Orpheus Park]] ([[CAP]]: "[[Apotheosis (episode)|Apotheosis]]").

==Notes==
*The Phoenix was accompanied by a similar, though distinctly different aircraft in its pursuit of [[Zoe-R]], however, its designation remains a mystery.

*The plane first appeared in the opening credits of ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]''.  According to materials created by [[Doug Drexler]] and provided to the 2010 [[Wikipedia: Creative Arts Emmy Award|Emmy Awards]] voters:

::''Sleek and smart, the elegantly streamlined Graystone Aerospace business jet seen in Caprica is terrestrially rooted in the [[Wikipedia:Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey|Bell Osprey V-22]], and shares bloodlines with [[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'s own Raptor scout ship.  The Phoenix model is an impressive construct of carefully designed compound curves including a completely realized instrumented cockpit.  The model is fully functional with all flight surfaces articulated. It is a carefully considered 285877 [[Wikipedia:Polygon (computer graphics)|Polygon]]s.

*According to the same materials, the Phoenix possessed a length of 67 feet and a wingspan of 44 feet. <ref>http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2010/09/12/caprica-2010-emmy-presentation-book/</ref>

-*VFX modeler [[Pierre Drolet]] stated on his personal website that the Phoenix jet was the first model he created for the production at a time when the producers were unsure as to the extent it would appear in the series. <ref>http://sci-fi-museum-pierre-drolet-com.webs.com/phoenix-cj55</ref>  Drolet describes the Air Force Phoenix as "an upgrade of the Pheonix private jet, which turned into a military troop carrier" with the addition of guns and a new paint job.<ref>http://sci-fi-museum-pierre-drolet-com.webs.com/phoenix-air-force</ref>
