After the destruction of the {{alt|The Twelve Colonies|TOS|Twelve Colonies}} in a devastating genocidal attack on the Colonial worlds, Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS | [[Image:ragtagfleet.jpg|thumb|A shot of the "rag-tag fugitive fleet".|link=https://en.battlestarwiki.org/File:Ragtagfleet.jpg]] | ||
After the destruction of the {{alt|The Twelve Colonies|TOS|Twelve Colonies}} in a devastating genocidal attack on the Colonial worlds, Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS}} orders all survivors to find what operational ships that remain on their shattered worlds and fly them towards {{alt|battlestar|TOS}} ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'', the sole surviving battlestar after her sister warships are also {{alt|Battle of Cimtar||destroyed}} in the two-prong {{alt|Cylon|TOS}} attack. With nowhere else to call home, Adama decrees that the remnants of humanity will search for the {{alt|Thirteenth Tribe|TOS}} on a planet called {{alt|Earth|TOS}}. | |||
Under the guardianship of ''Galactica'', the Fleet comprises of 220 civilian ships. With the exception of ''Galactica'', the ships are not capable of [[lightspeed]] flight. The Fleet's overall speed is limited to that of the slowest ship within the group. As all ships in the Fleet were filled to (or over) capacity, removing the slower ships from the caravan is not an option. | Under the guardianship of ''Galactica'', the Fleet comprises of 220 civilian ships.

Following that encounter | Following that encounter, the Fleet is pushed into an unnamed [[storm zone]] by the Cylons, nearly losing an ailing ship, the pleasure liner ''[[Ariadna]]'' ({{comics|vol2|6}}). While in this storm zone, various persons in the Fleet are subject to dreams of {{alt|Earth|TOS}}, ultimately found to have originated from flight engineer [[Xam]]. Xam uses his psionic powers to project a large fleet of {{alt|battlestar|TOS}}s, which force the pursuing Cylon fleet to leave the storm zone, thus allowing the Fleet itself to escape ({{comics|vol2|7}}—{{comics|vol2|9|short=y}}). | ||
The reprieve is temporary, and the Fleet's sole protector, ''Galactica'', is forced to fend off a Cylon basestar. While its weapons are not enough to damage the basestar while shielded, Colonel {{alt|Tigh|TOS}} and his repair crew use the ailing ''Ariadna'' in a suicide run. ''Ariadna'' overloads, eliminating the basestar's shielding, and allowing ''Galactica'' the final ''coup de grâce'' ({{comics|vol2|11}}). | The reprieve is temporary, and the Fleet's sole protector, ''Galactica'', is forced to fend off a Cylon basestar.
