The interior of this ship is not shown in any actual episodes of the re-imagined series. The only times that the interior was shown was in the movie "The Plan" and during two deleted scenes of the episode "Day Break". The inside of this ship has orange walls with seats identical to the ones inside Colonial One. By close examination, there are two windows on each side: one on the top and one on the middle similar to Colonial One's windows. This, however, could be a design flaw as the windows do not match with the exterior design of the ship as there should only be one window instead of two (Daybreak deleted scenes, The Plan). | |||
