The '''rebel basestar''' is one among many others in the Cylon fleet before the outbreak of the [[Cylon Civil War]]. It was captured by a Six named [[Natalie Faust]], after she removed the [[Telencephalic inhibitor]]s from the Centurions stationed aboard the vessel, where they then killed the [[Number One|Ones]], [[Number Four|Fours]], and [[Number Five|Fives]] after learning of their plan to lobotomize the Raider compliment, segregating a number of [[Number Six|Sixes]], [[Number Two|Twos]], [[Number Eight|Eights]], and later, a [[Number Three (Downloaded copy)|lone Three]] from the others | The '''rebel basestar''' is one among many others in the Cylon fleet before the outbreak of the [[Cylon Civil War]].

The ship is the only surviving rebel basestar out of several that breaks away from the John Cavil's Cylon loyalists.

The Rebel Baseship barely escapes Cavil's ambush, taking refuge in the relative safety of a nearby gas giant {{TRS|Faith}}. It falls under Colonial command when the rebel Cylons agree to Admiral [[William Adama]]'s authority, and is directed to rendezvous with [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] after being located by the civilian vessel ''[[Demetrius]]'', however, a failure in ''Demetrius''' FTL engine causes the baseship to jump to the fleet alone, nearly colliding with several fleet vessels, and forcing ''Galactica'' to scramble its Vipers amongst the panicking civilian fleet {{TRS|Guess What's Coming to Dinner?}}. | The Rebel Baseship barely escapes Cavil's ambush, taking refuge in the relative safety of a nearby gas giant {{TRS|Faith}}.

Since joining the fleet, the ship is under constant repair, by utilizing the [[organic resin]] to restrengthen the hull, as well as rebuild the missing outer edges of the ship {{TRS|Deadlock}}. Once becoming an established fleet ship with representation, the basestar is essential in resupplying the Fleet with needed supplies and equipment. In order to find a habitable planet as quickly as possible, all fleet ships were to get Cylon enhancements to their jump drives, an order which nearly caused the collapse of the already fragile population. In order to preserve their independence, the Colonials decide that no Cylon will step aboard a civilian vessel without the express permission of its captain | Since joining the fleet, the ship is under constant repair, by utilizing the [[organic resin]] to restrengthen the hull, as well as rebuild the missing outer edges of the ship {{TRS|Deadlock}}.

Months after fleeing the burnt out remains of the Thirteenth Colony, the basestar is chosen as the new flagship after the order is given to abandon the crippled ''Galactica''. Acting Admiral [[Louis Hoshi]] is given command of the baseship (and the Fleet) after ''Galactica'' leaves for the Cylon [[The Colony|Colony]], in one last draw for the child, [[Hera Agathon]], while the baseship stays behind and maintains a watchful eye over the civilian fleet. When a habitable planet is found by ''Galactica'', the Colonials return ownership of the baseship back to the Cylons, who in turn, give the ship to the freed Centurions remaining on board. While the Colonials settle their new home, the baseship jumps away for parts unknown | Months after fleeing the burnt out remains of the Thirteenth Colony, the basestar is chosen as the new flagship after the order is given to abandon the crippled ''Galactica''.
