'''''Icarus''''' is the [[Prison Barge]] within the {{TOS-RH|The Fleet|fugitive Fleet}}<ref name="p43">{{Cite book/RH|1|43}}</ref>. It is one of the few ships within the Fleet that are armed with light laser weapons for defensive purposes<ref name="p240">{{Cite book/RH|1|240}}</ref>. | |||
In {{TOS-RH|7360}}, the population aboard ''Icarus'' totals 427 prisoners, 13 of whom are {{TOS-RH|Borellian Nomen}}. Of note, each of the 13 Borellian Nomen were isolated from the others in order to best contain them, a lesson learned after a time<ref name="p43"/>. | |||
During an insurrection within the Fleet foster prompted by {{TOS-RH|Iblis|an ersatz}} Ambassador [[Puck]], Borellian Nomen lead by [[Gar'Tokk]] slaughter all of the wardens aboard. Assuming command of ''Icarus'', Gar'Tokk frees the prisoners on the condition they did not interfere with the Nomen<ref name="p154-156">{{Cite book/RH|1|154-156}}</ref>. | |||
''Icarus'' escapes from the Fleet during this internal turmoil, as other ships in the Fleet declare their support and secede from the Fleet, amongst them ''[[Scorpius Ascendant]]''<ref name="p224">{{Cite book/RH|1|224}}</ref>. | |||
Later, Iblis reveals to Gar'Tokk his intent on having ''Icarus'' attack ''{{TOS-RH|Hephaestus}}'' and, upon preparing to do that, Gar'Tokk is informed of a {{TOS-RH|Cylons|Cylon}} attack on the Fleet<ref name="p268-269">{{Cite book/RH|1|268-269}}</ref>. Gar'Tokk refuses to abide, breaks his pact with Iblis, and under his command ''Icarus'' rejoins the Fleet and re-imprisons the prisoners he and his Nomen had previously freed<ref name="p276">{{Cite book/RH|1|276}}</ref> {{RH|Armageddon}}. | |||
