The battlestar '''''Triton''''', featuring integrated command and control systems, and Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]]'s [[Command Navigation Program]] (CNP) is reported as lost with many other battlestars of the [[Colonial Fleet]] during the initial [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon Attack]], along with the ''[[Columbia]]'' and ''[[Solaria]]'' ([[Miniseries]]).  

According to records in [[William Adama]]'s possession, [[Kara Thrace]] served aboard ''Triton'', holding the rank of lieutenant junior grade prior to becoming a pilot on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. The ship's commanding officer at that time was [[James Jonasson]] ([[The Son Also Rises]]).<ref>''Triton'' information is from [[:Image:Kara Thrace Record 1.jpg|a record of disciplinary proceedings against Kara Thrace]] seen in "[[The Son Also Rises]]".</ref>

While it is never explained how [[Crashdown]] escaped ''Triton'' or when he joined ''Galactica'', [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] refers to him as "a refugee from ''Triton''" and his uniform patch in that episode clearly reads "Battlestar Triton" rather than "Battlestar Galactica" ([[33]]).

== Notes ==

* The ship is likely named after a figure in Colonial faith or mythology, given the parallels of the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#Lord of Kobol|Colonial faith]] and the pantheon of Greek gods. In Greek mythology Triton is not one of the Twelve Olympians himself (and as such might not be considered a Lord of Kobol by the Colonials), but the son of Poseidon and messenger of the sea.

-'''''Triton''''' is a battlestar in service with the Colonial Fleet prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], where [[Kara Thrace]] had been previously posted under the command of [[James Jonasson]] before her reassignment to ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' {{TRS|The Son Also Rises}}.
-''Triton'' was named by [[William Adama]] alongside other battlestars, ''[[Columbia_(RDM)#Second_Columbia|Columbia]]'', ''[[Solaria]]'', and ''[[Atlantia]]'', when the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] attacked the Colonies {{TRS|Miniseries}}. At the time of its destruction it was part of the 39th [[Battlestar Group|battlestar group]] {{TRS|33|Water}}.

-* Quartararo's ship patch is incorrectly embroidered "BST 39," as it was erroneously assumed that that "BSG" stands for "Battlestar ''Galactica''" and thus the last letter was changed for the ''Triton'' patch. However, both the [[water tank]] diagram in "[[Water]]" and the patches for ''[[Pegasus (TRS)|Pegasus]],'' ''[[Valkyrie]],'' and ''[[Osiris]]'' establish that "BSG" stands for '''''[[Battlestar Group|battlestar group]]'''''.
