'''''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''''' is a battlestar in service with the Colonial Fleet prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. It was destroyed alongside battlestars ''[[Columbia_(RDM)#Second_Columbia|Columbia]]'', ''[[Solaria]]'', and ''[[Atlantia]]'', as the Cylons attacked the Colonies. At the time of its destruction it was part of the 39th battlestar group {{TRS|Miniseries}}.  
 
''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}}.


Lt. [[Alex Quartararo|Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo]] survives the ship's destruction and is found by President [[Laura Roslin]]'s [[The Fleet (TRS)|fleet]], where he is reassigned to ''Galactica'' as [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]]'s [[ECO]] replacement for [[Raptor 312]] {{TRS|33|Water}}.
At least one Viper pilot, Lt. [[Alex Quartararo|Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo]] survived the ship's destruction, and is found by President Roslin's fleet {{TRS|33}}. Lt. Quartararo later serves aboard ''Galactica'' prior to his death on the surface of {{RDM|Kobol}} {{TRS|Fragged}}

* The ship is likely named after a figure in Colonial faith or mythology, given the parallels of the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Lord of Kobol|Colonial faith]] and the pantheon of Greek gods. In Greek mythology, [[w:Triton (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.

* 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]]'''''.
* Quartararo's ship patch is incorrectly mislabeled "BST 39". The costuming department very likely assumed that "BSG" stands for "Battlestar ''Galactica''" and changed the last letter accordingly. However, "Water" and the patches for both ''Pegasus'' and ''Valkyrie'' establish that "BSG" stands for '''''battlestar group'''''.
