| '''''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}}. | | While it is never explained how [[Crashdown]] escaped ''Triton'' or when he joined ''[[Galactica]]'', [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Boomer]] refers to him as "a refugee from Triton" ([[33]]) and [[Crashdown]]'s uniform insignia on that episode clearly shows 'Battlestar Triton' rather than that of ''Galactica''. |
|
| |
|
| 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}}.

| | In the [[Re-imagined Series]], the battlestar is likely named after one of the [[Lords of Kobol]] or a supported figure in Colonial faith, given the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies|parallels to the Colonial faith and the pantheon of Greek gods]]. In Greek mythology the triton was the weapon of [[w:Poseidon|Poseidon]] (Neptune), the ocean god. |

| == Notes ==
| |
| * 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]]'''''.
