I've noticed some speculation that this is the [[Wikipedia:lead ship|lead ship]] of the original battlestar class. Is there a source for this? Since it's still in service at a time when Galactica is supposedly the only remaining ship of its class (as per the miniseries), I find this unlikely. --[[User: | I've noticed some speculation that this is the [[Wikipedia:lead ship|lead ship]] of the original battlestar class.

:The only source I've heard, noted in the Zoic information, was that all of the original battlestars except Galactica were upgraded. Zoic's original battlestar data matches some of the mentioned destroyed battlestars from the Battlestar article as well. If that is the case, none of the other original battlestars were likely to have survived the backdoor rooting that their networked computers allowed. I can verify nothing on Columbia, and until we get some studio data, I still see all this information suspect.

::I agree. Except for length figures and other information on the space ship models themselves, Zoic's information is highly suspect. --[[User: | ::I agree.

Columbia is not the most unlikely of all the names related to RDMs Version of Galactica. There are dozens of cultural references to old greek sagas like Capricorn/Caprica, Sagittarius/Sagitta, Pisces/Picon and so on, or names like Athena, Apollo, PEGASUS, and even the name of GALACTICA itself (Milky way, our Galaxy has it's name after a greek myth about a god that - while a toddler - spilled milk all around the place, gala- is a root referring to the greek word for milk). It seems rather tedious to write down the note that there possibly can't be anyone in the world of BSG who knows who Columbus was or what the name people gave to the continent he managed to "discover" is. Obviously there exists a whole family of "false friends" in Galactica-verse that sounds exactly like modern (or rather ancient greek and roman) myths but has come to exist unrelated to them. as well as a rather stunningly similar daily life dialect similar to modern american english :D It won't help visitors to state that this stuff CAN'T be related, the more so when it's only stated on very few of the pages --[[User:Nugget|Nugget]] 21:46, 6 April 2009 (UTC) | Columbia is not the most unlikely of all the names related to RDMs Version of Galactica.

:Obviously this sort of speculation was more interesting before the precise relationship between BSG's timeframe and the modern day was known. --[[User: | :Obviously this sort of speculation was more interesting before the precise relationship between BSG's timeframe and the modern day was known. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 17:46, 7 April 2009 (UTC) | ||
