| | |
| The first appearance of ''Prometheus'' in the Fleet was in "[[Black Market]]," as the model was explicitly made for that episode by [[Alain Rivard]].

| | |
| As the original model was solely of hero quality, its use proved cumbersome for standard transitional and establishing shots. Thus, as with multiple models from [[Season 2]], it would be upgraded and remastered into multiple versions (from low resolution for far shots to a high-quality "hero" model for close-up shots) in [[Season 3]] by [[Gary Hutzel]]'s in-house VFX team. This task was assigned to [[Fabio Passaro]], who produced the prerequisite variations for use in updated filler and establishing shots depicting {{RDM|the Fleet}}.<ref name="meshweaver">{{cite_web|url=https://www.meshweaver.com/battlestar-galactica--tv-series.html|title=Battlestar Galactica TV Series—In house VFX Department|date=|accessdate=26 April 2021|last=Passaro|first=Fabio|format=|language=}}</ref>

Given [[Tom Zarek]]'s continual referencing of Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] as Zeus, and the fact that ''Prometheus'' is the hub of the [[black market (organization)|black market]], an organization which seeks to redistribute goods from the military to the civilians, the parallel is very apparent. | | *The freighter is named from the [[Lords of Kobol (RDM)|Lord of Kobol]] [[Prometheus]].
