There are at least two unnamed wedge-shaped vessels[1] within the refugee fleet. One of them can be briefly seen among the Fleet just behind the Gemenon Traveller when Raptor 719 requests to dock with the heavy transport (Flesh and Bone).
At least one is part of Galactica's fleet in orbit around New Caprica) and among the last three ships to perform an emergency jump away from the planet when the Cylons arrive (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II).
One is also part of the first group of ships to be shepherded through the radiation cloud of a star cluster to a planet rich with consumable algae, just behind the Space Park (The Passage) [2]. Another one can be seen just beyond the Fleet gathering with other civilian ships.
Further appearances are during a refueling mission over a gas giant (Maelstrom), the jump to the Ionian nebula (Crossroads, Part II), and the jump to Earth (Revelations).
Notes
- This ship appears to be based on a design created by a fan of the series, Todd Boyce. On his website where many other fan fiction renderings are hosted, he called the ship the "Defender".
- While the wedge-shaped vessel shares its design with the "Defender", it does not share its military purpose. The Defender is a military ship, envisioned by the artist as a support vessel for larger battlestars. However, in the series canon, Galactica is the only Colonial military vessel in the Fleet.
- With some Reaver additions, the ship appears as a background vessel in the movie Serenity. The effects for both Serenity and Battlestar Galactica were produced by Zoic.
- The Defender design appears again as a Colonial military vessel during the First Cylon War with its original TOS-style flight pod, however, on what appears to be a much larger scale than the ship seen within the civilian fleet (Blood and Chrome).
- Battlestar Wiki is not a fan fiction repository. However, the remarkable similarity between the artist's ship (created before the episode "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II") and its inclusion in the Re-imagined Series warrant mention in this encyclopedia.
