'''''Ariadna''''' is a civilian pleasure liner of the {{alt|Twelve Colonies of Man}}. In the aftermath of the {{alt|Battle of Cimtar}}, the ship holds eight hundred refugees fleeing the Cylon tyranny in the {{alt|the Fleet|TOS|rag-tag fugitive fleet}}.

== Last Days ==

Following the [[Nebula Ambush]], ''Ariadna'' suffers from engine malfunctions. Colonel {{alt|Tigh|TOS}} and an engineering team from ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' attempt to repair the craft while ''Galactica'' sends out two flights, each investigating a [[storm zone]] and an unnamed, yet well-mapped quadrant. Despite issues, Tigh's repair team is able to re-engage the ship's engines, and enter the storm zone ({{comics|vol2|6}}).

Following the [[Battle of the Artifact|departure from the storm zone]], ''Ariadna''{{'|s}} engine failure recurs, forcing the Fleet to stop so that the ship isn't left behind. Tigh is given two [[centar]]s to effect repairs, otherwise her compliment of passengers and supplies is to be evacuated, and the ship abandoned. Overseen by {{alt|Viper|TOS}}s of [[red flight]], Tigh makes the call to evacuate the ship but the colonel and his engineering team stays aboard to continue repairs up until the last possible centon.

During the third evacuation flight, a force of {{alt|Cylon|TOS}} {{alt|Raider|TOS}}s and a {{alt|basestar|TOS}} happen upon the group, [[Defense of Ariadna|forcing an engagement]] ({{comics|vol2|10}}). 

Tigh and his tech team are the last aboard, however the Cylons strike ''Ariadna''{{'|s}} launch bay, destroying the last evacuation shuttle and stranding the team aboard. With no other options, Tigh turns ''Ariadna''{{'|s}}—its fusion reactor shot to the point where any additional strain would cause stress-fractures, resulting in an explosion—into a warhead. During the resulting battle, Tigh and his crew set the hulk into a suicide run towards the lone basestar while ''Galactica'' closes to engage not only the basestar, but also send a rescue shuttle to recover Tigh and the surviving technicians. 

The resultant explosion from ''Ariadna''{{'|s}} reactor rips apart the basestar's forward shields, allowing ''Galactica'' to strike a fatal blow towards their enemy, thus ending the battle and permitting the Fleet to escape ({{comics|vol2|11}}).

== Notes ==

* ''Ariadna'' is a variant of the [[Re-imagined Series]]{{'}} ''[[Gemenon Traveler]]'', with five engines at its aft instead of three.
* The name, Ariadna, belongs to a genus of [[w:Ariadna|tube-dwelling spider]].

-The ship's casino operations are significant enough that those who "get in a bit over their heads" owing "the casino more cubits than our credit account showed" may need to "skip out" rather quickly to avoid consequences.<ref name="STG121" /> This has led to the ''Rising Star'' serving as a source of refugees who flee to other ships in the Fleet to escape their gambling debts, with some seeking sanctuary aboard vessels like ''[[Broadside (TOS-BN)|Broadside]]'' where they can hide from Fleet authorities.<ref name="STG121" />

-''Rising Star'' is a pleasure liner under [[Sire]] {{alt|Uri}}'s command and ownership. During the exodus, he has food freighted to ''Rising Star'' from his private estate for him and guests, primarily women and people of influence. During the flight from the Colonies, he has various persons transported to other lesser ships in the fleet, such as the freighter ''{{TOS|Gemini}}''. Upon discovering this, Captain {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} has the food seized and distributed to the less fortunate, particularly in the face of reduced food stores due to [[pluton poisoning]].
-{{alt|Serina}} and {{alt|Boxey}} have billets aboard ''Rising Star'', and Dr. {{alt|Wilker}} has a maintenance lab aboard where he develops the first robotic [[daggit]], [[Muffey II]] {{comics|marvel|2}}.

-After entering the [[Empyrean Expanse]] sometime circa [[7358 (TOS-RH)|7358]], ''Rising Star'' is hijacked by the [[Okaati]] with the entirety of [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|the Fleet]]'s civilian ships. Among those aboard are Colonel [[Tigh (TOS-DE alternate)|Tigh]], Lieutenant [[Starbuck (TOS-DE alternate)|Starbuck]], and [[Cassiopeia (TOS-DE alternate)|Cassiopeia]] and the Okaati [[Grust]], who has a change of heart and aids the Colonials in fighting back against their hijackers. As with the other ships, ''Rising Star'' is brought to land inside a large crater on [[Gehenna Prime]] to await redemption by the [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylons]], [[Battle at Gehenna Prime|who are subsequently thwarted]]  {{Comics|classic|3|5}}.
