The Galleon is the name used to describe the "great ship" that carried the twelve tribes from Kobol, starting the Exodus that leads the tribes to discover twelve inhabitable worlds, on which they founded the Twelve Colonies of Kobol.

According to the Sacred Scrolls, the ship left from Galleon Meadow on Kobol some 2,000 years prior to the events of the Re-imagined Series (Home, Part I).

Notes

  • In the real world, a galleon was a large, multi-decked sailing ship used primarily by the nations of Europe from the 16th to early 18th centuries. Despite common ideas, a galleon was not a ponderous transport ship, but more a kind of warship.
