}}'''Pan Galactic''' was a spaceline operating in the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]] before the [[Cylon attack]].<br />
<br />
Since these ships are completely without defenses, many ships like this Pan Galactic spaceliner were destroyed during the attacks<ref>The official web site for the series at SciFi.com notes a brief description of these passenger liners.</ref>.<br />
<br />
At least one FTL-capable Pan Galactic spaceliner survived the attack and united with the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. This liner, the ''Caprica Clipper'' is the last civilian ship to make its escape [[FTL|jump]] in the [[Battle of Ragnar Anchorage]] ([[Miniseries]]).<br />
<br />
After the settlement of [[New Caprica]] it landed on the planet and is leaving with the other ships during the [[Battle of New Caprica|liberation]] ([[Exodus, Part II]]). It also successfully navigated the radiation dense star cluster to the [[algae planet]] ([[The Passage]]). <br />
<br />
Pan Galactic uses the popular [[luxury liner|spaceliner]] design used by other spacelines such as [[Gemon Liners]].<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*The livery and name of Pan Galactic is based on the airline [[Wikipedia:Pan_American_World_Airways|Pan American]] (or Pan Am), which ceased operations in 1991.<br />
*Pan Galactic's company logo, located on the ship's sides and underside tail, is nearly identical to the one of Pan Am, except for its lettering, which says "Pan Gal."<br />
*The use of the likeness of the old Pan Am logo is likely an homage to the film ''[[w:2001: A Space Odyssey (film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]'', where a [[w:Space Shuttle Orbiter|Space Shuttle-like]] winged transport (run by a fictional version of Pan Am) is seen.<br />
