Following the [[Nebula Ambush]], ''Ariadna'' suffers from engine malfunctions. Colonel {{alt|Tigh|TOS}} and an engineering team from ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' attempt to repair the craft while ''Galactica'' sends out two flights, each investigating a [[storm zone]] and an unnamed, yet well-mapped quadrant. Despite issues, Tigh's repair team is able to re-engage the ship's engines, and enter the storm zone ({{comics|vol2|6}}).
''Rising Star'' is a pleasure liner under [[Sire]] {{alt|Uri}}'s command and ownership. During the exodus, he has food freighted to ''Rising Star'' from his private estate for him and guests, primarily women and people of influence. During the flight from the Colonies, he has various persons transported to other lesser ships in the fleet, such as the freighter ''{{TOS|Gemini}}''. Upon discovering this, Captain {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} has the food seized and distributed to the less fortunate, particularly in the face of reduced food stores due to [[pluton poisoning]].


Following the [[Battle of the Artifact|departure from the storm zone]], ''Ariadna''{{'|s}} engine failure recurs, forcing the Fleet to stop so that the ship isn't left behind. Tigh is given two [[centar]]s to effect repairs, otherwise her compliment of passengers and supplies is to be evacuated, and the ship abandoned. Overseen by {{alt|Viper|TOS}}s of [[red flight]], Tigh makes the call to evacuate the ship but the colonel and his engineering team stays aboard to continue repairs up until the last possible centon.
{{alt|Serina}} and {{alt|Boxey}} have billets aboard ''Rising Star'', and Dr. {{alt|Wilker}} has a maintenance lab aboard where he develops the first robotic [[daggit]], [[Muffey II]] ({{comics|marvel|2}}).  


During the third evacuation flight, a force of {{alt|Cylon|TOS}} {{alt|Raider|TOS}}s and a {{alt|basestar|TOS}} happen upon the group, [[Defense of Ariadna|forcing an engagement]] ({{comics|vol2|10}}).

Tigh and his tech team are the last aboard, however the Cylons strike ''Ariadna''{{'|s}} launch bay, destroying the last evacuation shuttle and stranding the team aboard. With no other options, Tigh turns ''Ariadna''{{'|s}}—its fusion reactor shot to the point where any additional strain would cause stress-fractures, resulting in an explosion—into a warhead. During the resulting battle, Tigh and his crew set the hulk into a suicide run towards the lone basestar while ''Galactica'' closes to engage not only the basestar, but also send a rescue shuttle to recover Tigh and the surviving technicians.

Rising Star is a civilian pleasure liner of the Twelve Colonies of Man. In the aftermath of the Battle of Cimtar, the ship holds refugees fleeing the Cylon tyranny in the rag-tag fugitive fleet.

Marvel Comics[edit]

Rising Star is a pleasure liner under Sire Uri's command and ownership. During the exodus, he has food freighted to Rising Star from his private estate for him and guests, primarily women and people of influence. During the flight from the Colonies, he has various persons transported to other lesser ships in the fleet, such as the freighter Gemini. Upon discovering this, Captain Apollo has the food seized and distributed to the less fortunate, particularly in the face of reduced food stores due to pluton poisoning.

Serina and Boxey have billets aboard Rising Star, and Dr. Wilker has a maintenance lab aboard where he develops the first robotic daggit, Muffey II (Exodus!).

Dynamite Entertainment comics[edit]

After entering the Empyrean Expanse sometime circa 7358, Rising Star is hijacked by the Okaati with the entirety of the Fleet's civilian ships. Among those aboard are Colonel Tigh, Lieutenant Starbuck, and Cassiopeia and the Okaati Grust, who has a change of heart and aids the Colonials in fighting back against their hijackers. As with the other ships, Rising Star is brought to land inside a large crater on Gehenna Prime to await redemption by the Cylons, who are subsequently thwarted (Battlestar Galactica Classic #3#5).
