The shipyards over Scorpia.

The Scorpion Fleet Shipyard(s)[1] were a Fleet dockyard located in orbit around Scorpia.

At the time of the Cylon attack, Pegasus, at least three more battlestars, and three other Colonial Fleet ships are docked there. A Cylon nuclear attack destroys the yards and all ships but Pegasus, which escapes via a blind jump (Razor).

Docked vessels

  • At least one battlestar of Galactica's type [2]. Two others are of the same or a similar design as Valkyrie.
  • The vessel above Pegasus is a design by artist Charles Oines. It is unknown if it is designated as a battlestar by the Colonial Fleet. The ship might be a support vessel for Battlestar Groups, and thus one of the other ships mentioned by Admiral Cain in "Pegasus". Oines calls the ship a "Bezerk class escort", but this is not an official source.
  • The lower left arm of the superstructure seems to berth another vessel, but it can't be seen clearly.

Notes

  • Although the planet is called Scorpia ("Colonial Day", "Razor"), the location subtitles in "Razor" identify the shipyard's name as "Scorpion Fleet Shipyards". It is possible that the installation is named with an adjectival form of the colony's ancient name, "Scorpio".
  • This image of the shipyards and of the planet Scorpia in the background is the first time that viewers have seen any other Colonial planet aside from Caprica (Miniseries). Tauron is later shown in the extended DVD cut of "Razor".

References

  1. Both "shipyards" and "shipyard" are used in dialogue.
  2. Only one can be seen in the establishing shot of the shipyard, being enclosed by the superstructure on two sides. However, during the battle, a Galactica-type battlestar is shown in a different place. This could mean that the visual effects of the establishing shot and the battle don't fit together. It is unknown if the two are meant to be the same battlestar.
