Editing Wedge-shaped vessel

There are at least two unnamed '''wedge-shaped vessel'''s<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|refugee fleet]]. One of them can be briefly seen among the Fleet just behind the ''[[Gemenon Traveller]]'' when [[Raptor 719]] requests to dock with the heavy transport ([[Flesh and Bone]]).

At least one is part of ''Galactica'''s fleet in orbit around [[New Caprica]]) and among the last three ships to perform an emergency jump away from the planet when the Cylons arrive ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

One is also part of the first group of ships to be shepherded through the radiation cloud of a [[Passage (star cluster)|star cluster]] to a planet rich with consumable algae, just behind the ''[[Zephyr]]'' ([[The Passage]]) <ref>It doesn't appear on the other side of the jump, but given the possible inaccuracies of special effects, it is unknown if this is meant to imply the vessel's destruction.</ref>. Another one can be seen just beyond the Fleet gathering with other civilian ships.

Further appearances are during a refueling mission over a gas giant ([[Maelstrom]]), the jump to the [[Ionian nebula]] ([[Crossroads, Part II]]), and the jump to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] ([[Revelations]]). 

==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]].

*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. 

*The ''Defender'' design appears again as a Colonial military vessel during the First Cylon War with its original TOS-style flight pod, however, on what appears to be a much larger scale than the ship seen within the civilian fleet ([[Blood and Chrome]]).

*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 its inclusion in the Re-imagined Series warrant mention in this encyclopedia.

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]]).

-*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.
