The '''Returners''' are thirty-three Colonial citizens, most known to be long dead, who reappear, apparently very much alive, in an old Colonial ship, [[Medivac 12]], encountered by battlestar ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' as it passed by an old [[Third Colonial Conflict|Colonial battlefield]] of Colonial ships in a region of space very far away from the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Twelve Colonies]] {{comics|Battlestar Galactica|0}}.

[[Laura Roslin]], reading from the [[Sacred Scrolls (alternate)|Sacred Scrolls]], notes a passage that "The dead shall return in an ark of fire." Medivac 12 is suffering from hull breaches and internal fires as its inhabitants ward off [[Cylon Centurion]] attacks.

While Commander [[William Adama]] and his son, {{callsign|Lee Adama}}, strongly believe the people to be [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon constructs]] similar to [[Humanoid Cylon]]s, [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Valerii]] tells them that these people are not Cylons {{comics|Battlestar Galactica|1}}.

[[Kara Thrace]] is unsure of the nature of these people, particularly after she encounters her dead fiancé, [[Zak Adama (alternate)|Zak Adama]], aboard the ship {{comics|Battlestar Galactica|0}}. [[Anastasia Dualla]]'s brother, [[Darrin Dualla|Darrin]], also appears on the derelict ship.

Some of the Returners escape via [[zip pod]]s to other ships in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]], despite ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica's]]'' quarantine order {{comics|Battlestar Galactica|1}}. The people, unwillingly or intentionally, spread a contagion that incapacitates most of the crew {{comics|Battlestar Galactica|2}}.

[[Gaius Baltar]], investigating the craft, discovers that the Returners are Cylon constructs of a sort. The beings are clones implanted with memories of the dead, used by the Cylons to study human nature in preparation for the creation of the twelve humanoid Cylon models. [[Billy Keikeya]], pouring through available records, confirms that every one of the Returners were people who died while in some kind of flight, and were not on the ground or in a building at the time of their death {{comics|Battlestar Galactica|3}}.

==Notes==
The concept of the deceased returning occurs in the main continuity as the fleet encounters a miraculously alive [[Kara Thrace]] {{TRS|He That Believeth in Me}}. Considering the issue, Lee Adama muses about what would happen if Zak returned in a similar fashion, and Starbuck herself considers the possibility that she is a Cylon construct similar to that described above.
