An unnamed '''wedge-shaped vessel'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> is briefly seen during the Fleet's emergency jump away from [[New Caprica]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

It is also part of the first group of ships to be shepherded through the radiation cloud of a star cluster to a planet rich with consumable algae. It is not seen among the ships that clear the jump however.  Another ship of the same configuration is also in the background just behind the ''[[Space Park]]'' when the first jump commences ([[The Passage]]). 

==Notes==
*This ship appears to be based on a design created by a fan of the series, Todd Boyce. On his website where many other [[fan fiction]] renderings are hosted, he called the ship the "''Defender''".

* While the wedge-shaped vessel shares its design with the "''Defender''", it does not share its military purpose. The ''Defender'' is a military ship, envisioned by the artist as a support vessel for larger [[battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]]s. However, in the series [[canon]], ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' is the only Colonial military vessel in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]].

*Battlestar Wiki is not a [[fan fiction]] repository. However, the remarkable similarity between the artist's ship (created before the episode "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]") and the rendering from the Re-imagined Series is sufficient to warrant its note in this encyclopedia.

-The '''"''Wedge''" type''' also known as a '''"''Defender''" type'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> is a support vessel in service with the [[Colonial Fleet]] by the tenth year of the [[First Cylon War]].

-== History ==
+It is also part of the first group of ships to be shepherded through the radiation cloud of a star cluster to a planet rich with consumable algae. It is not seen among the ships that clear the jump however.  Another ship of the same configuration is also in the background just behind the ''[[Space Park]]'' when the first jump commences ([[The Passage]]).
-During the First Cylon War, one of these ships is reported destroyed by Cylon forces, and hidden away within Cylon controlled space. This is a ruse created by the Colonial Fleet in order to hide away a large amount of units in preparation for an [[Ghost Fleet Offensive|offensive]] against Cylons targets {{TRS|Blood and Chrome}}.
-After the [[Fall of the Colonies]], two of these ships [[Battle of Ragnar Anchorage|escape]] with ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'', though it is unknown if they share the same military role, as ''Galactica'' is initially the only known military vessel to have survived the attacks, and these ships do not participate in any post exodus engagements with the Cylons ([[TRS]]).

-*With some Reaver additions, the ship appears as a background vessel in the movie ''Serenity''. The effects for both ''Serenity'' and ''Battlestar Galactica'' were produced by Zoic.
-*In an odd continuity error, these ships appear at various times, with varying sizes. In ''"Blood & Chrome"'', it is nearly as large a ''Galactica'' type battlestar, instantly dwarfing the other ships around it, including battlestars ''Osiris'' and ''Valkyrie''. While in the TRS series, it is only a quarter of the size of ''Galactica'' type battlestar.
