Atlantia: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:10, 3 January 2006

The battlestar Atlantia is the flagship of the Colonial Fleet in the Re-imagined Series and the Original Series.

Re-imagined Series

The battlestar Atlantia features integrated command and control systems and Dr. Gaius Baltar's Command Navigation Program (CNP). She is selected by Admiral Nagala as his flagship during the Cylon Attack after Fleet Headquarters on Picon is destroyed.

Atlantia herself is soon destroyed during the attack, a victim of the computer virus spread by the Cylons using the compromised CNP (Miniseries).

It was on Atlantia that William Adama made his 1,000th Viper landing (Act of Contrition). At one point in his career Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol served aboard Atlantia before finally being assigned to Galactica (Resistance).

Atlantia is only mentioned but never seen in the Re-imagined Miniseries.

The Original Series

Atlantia is where the Quorum of Twelve meet in anticipation of the coming treaty between humanity and the Cylons that will bring to an end the Thousand-Yahren War.

Atlantia is destroyed when the treaty rendezvous at Cimtar becomes a trap, along with four of remaining battlestars of the Colonial fleet, with only Galactica surviving to fend the Cylons (Saga of a Star World).

-===Notes===
+''Atlantia'' is only mentioned but never seen in the Re-imagined Miniseries.
-* According to information released by [[Zoic]], ''Atlantia'' was one of the first five battlestars constructed by the Colonials, the other four being ''[[Galactica]]'', ''[[Pegasus]]'', ''[[Columbia]]'' and ''[[Rycon]]''.
-** Zoic's information, however, seems unlikely. The Battlestar ''Pegasus'' shown in the episode "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]" is a [[Mercury-class]] battlestar, which is apparently larger, definitely more advanced, and only marginally similar to ''Galactica''. If Zoic's information is correct, this strongly suggests that the original battlestar ''[[Pegasus]]'' was retired or lost, and an upgraded battlestar was entered into service under that name. This may also be true with ''[[Atlantia]]'', since Admiral [[Nagala]] took fleet command aboard this battlestar. It is highly unlikely that, unless there were no other battlestars available, that a fleet admiral would command from a smaller, original battlestar, upgraded or not.
-* During the opening of the [[Mini-Series]], [[Doral, Aaron|Aaron Doral]] states that the battlestar ''[[Galactica]]'' is the "last of her kind". This would suggest that:
-** Either the ''Atlantia'' mentioned later in the Mini-Series may have been built much later than the original twelve battlestars, possibly as a replacement vessel
-** Doral was simply making a point that ''Galactica'' is the only remaining battlestar with non-integrated systems
