Prior to the [[Battle of Cimtar]] and subsequent fall of the [[The Twelve Colonies | Prior to the [[Battle of Cimtar]] and subsequent fall of the [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Twelve Colonies]], ''Rising Star'' was a luxury liner operated by [[Trans Stellar Spacelines]] ([[TOS]]: "[[Saga of a Star World]]") which traveled throughout the Colonies and various sectors in the Colonial sphere of influence ([[TOS]]: "[[The Long Patrol]]"). It is capable of both atmospheric and space flight, as well as planetary landing and unaided launch ([[TOS]]: "[[Murder on the Rising Star]]"). | ||

Among these levels are a gambling chancelory ("[[The Man with Nine Lives]]", "[[Murder on the Rising Star]]"), guest rooms ([[TOS]]: "[[The Long Patrol]]"), dining level ([[TOS]]: "[[The Long Patrol]]") and recreation level where visitors could watch [[Triad (TOS)|Triad]] competitions ([[TOS]]: "[[Murder on the Rising Star]]"). She also contains a main waiting area for passengers that arrive and depart the ship ([[TOS]]: "[[The Man with Nine Lives]]") and various entertainment areas, such as open stages where dances and shows are performed ([[TOS]]: "[[War of the Gods, Part II]]", "[[The Man with Nine Lives]]"). | ||

With the [[Thousand-Yahren War]] resulting in a devestating defeat for the Colonials, ''Rising Star'' became one of the 220 ships to survive the Cylons' holocaust. Under the direction of ''Galactica'''s [[Warriors]], including Flight Sergeant [[Ortega]], ''Rising Star'' is used to rescue any surviving women and children on [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)#Caprica|Caprica]]. Despite these restrictions, Ortega takes bribes by at least three men for spots aboard the ship ([[TOS]]: "[[Murder on the Rising Star]]"). | |||
After the Fleet was settled, Commander [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] opens the dining level on ''Rising Star'' as a morale booster among the survivors, in the hopes of giving them an evening to look forward too. So popular is this idea that the waiting list is noted to be at least a [[yahren]] long ([[TOS]]: "[[The Long Patrol]]"). | |||

Further, many of the facilities aboard ''Rising Star'' are used by the survivors in the Fleet, including the chancery, dancing halls, and for sports, such as Triad. Shuttles between ships in the Fleet, such as ''[[Canaris]]'', ferry survivors to and from ''Rising Star'' ([[TOS]]: "[[The Man with Nine Lives]]"). | |||

*A ship matching ''Rising Star'''s design appears in [[Pegasus (RDM)|''Pegasus'']]'s civilian fleet in "[[Razor]]", as one of many visual nods to the Original Series in the episode. However, it was not ''[[Rising Star (RDM)|Rising Star]]'' herself, as these ships were abandoned and did not make contact with [[Galactica (RDM)|''Galactica'']]'s [[The Fleet (RDM)|civilian fleet]]. Another ship sharing the same configuration is part of ''Galactica'''s fleet ([[TRS]]: "[[Escape Velocity]]"), although it is not identified by name. | |||
*The streamlined design of ''Rising Star'' is not typical for the ragtag fleet. | |||
