| Additional Information | |||
Adriatic is an armed civilian ship in the Fleet. She is the only known civilian vessel to be armed. The purpose of these missiles, where they came from, or if any other ships like her are normally armed remains unknown.
Shortly after the discovery of Kobol, Adriatic joins Roslin's fleet that jumps to the planet to find the road map to Earth. It is in weapons range of Kara Thrace and her party's stolen Cylon Heavy Raider when it returns from Caprica, though it does not fire (TRS: "Home, Part I"). She, and other ships of Roslin's Fleet are later re-united with Galactica's Fleet.
After the fleet comes upon a great star cluster that put out immense amounts of stellar radiation, Galactica pilot Brendan Costanza is tasked to guide the ship safely across the cluster. However, she is lost on outbound trip 1 of 5, when Costanza fails to locate her, and was forced to jump to the final waypoint. She was the first ship lost (TRS: "The Passage").
Notes[edit]
- Adriatic appears to be named after the Adriatic Sea, an arm of the Mediterranean Sea that separates Italy from the Balkan peninsula on Earth.
- In addition to the body of water, the White Star Line named two of its vessels Adriatic, one entering service in 1871 and the other in 1907.
