'''''Pyxis''''' is an orange-colored [[passenger liner]] in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] that survives both exoduses. Its last captain is [[Jules Tarney]].
The '''''Pyxis''''' is a ship in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] and survives both exoduses. Its last captain is [[Tarney]].


During the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|attack on the Colonies]], ''Pyxis'' was in orbit of [[Canceron]], before eventually joining up with the rest of the surviving ships near {{RDM|Caprica}} ([[TRS]]:  "[[The Plan]]," [[Miniseries]])
''Pyxis'' is one of the many ships that are escorted by [[Raptors]] through a very dense star cluster to the [[algae planet]] ([[The Passage]]).


''Pyxis'' is one of the many ships that are escorted by [[raptors]] through a very dense star cluster to the [[Algae_planet|Algae Planet]] {{TRS|The Passage}}.
The ship is destroyed in the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]] by an out-of-control [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] [[Raider (RDM)|Raider]] that impacts near the engines after being damaged by a Viper, resulting in a chain reaction that destroys the ship and the loss of 600 people<ref>This number is according to [[Laura Roslin]] in "[[He That Believeth In Me]]".</ref> ([[He That Believeth In Me]]).
 
The ship is lost in the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]] when a spiraling [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] [[Raider (RDM)|Raider]], damaged by Viper fire, impacts near the engines, resulting in catastrophic damage. The resulting explosion destroys the ship with 600 people aboard {{TRS|He That Believeth in Me}}.

==Notes==
==Notes==
*The ship can first be seen joining Laura Roslin's convoy in the [[Miniseries]]. However, the name ''Pyxis'' is first introduced on the voting tally board in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]," and the ship is not identified as such until "[[He That Believeth in Me]]."
*''Pyxis'' is first introduced on the voting tally board in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]". It is not seen until "[[He That Believeth In Me]]".
*It appears to be of very similar design to the ill-fated ''[[Olympic Carrier]]'', and could possibly be another ship of the same class.
*The interior of ''Pyxis'' is shown in "[[The Plan]]" and in two deleted scenes from the [[Daybreak, Part I|two-part]] [[Daybreak, Part II|series finale]].  The inside of this ship has orange walls with seats identical to those inside ''[[Colonial One]]'', with one set of top-facing windows and one set facing the side, also similar to ''Colonial One''. However, the exterior of the ship features only one set of windows, creating a design goof, likely created through the redressing and reuse of ''Colonial One's'' interior sets.
*[[w:Pyxis|Pyxis]] is a minor southern constellation introduced by [[w:Nicolas Louis de Lacaille|Nicolas Louis de Lacaille]] under the name Pyxis Nautica. It is perhaps supposed to represent the compass of [[w:Argo Navis|Argo Navis]].
