Laura Roslin visited the ship while gathering a fleet from survivors in Caprica's solar system. The young girl Cami and her grandmother were on the Botanical Cruiser when the Cylon attack occurred. Unfortunately, the ship lacked an FTL drive, and the fleet was forced to leave them behind. The ship was then destroyed by Cylon forces (Mini-series).
Notes[edit]
The Botanical Cruiser was an homage to the Agro Ships from the original Battlestar Galactica (TOS), which themselves were resuses of the spacecraft from Silent Running, a Universal/MCA movie that special effects guru John Dykstra worked on a few years prior to the Original Series.
