Resurrection Ship: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:31, 7 January 2006

This article deals with the ship. For the episodes of the same name, see "Resurrection Ship, Part I" and Resurrection Ship, Part II".

The Resurrection Ship is a ship dedicated to the "resurrection" of Cylons killed. The purpose of such a ship is apparently necessary as the download range of a Humano-Cylon is limited. From recon photos taken by Kara Thrace on the Blackbird, the ship contains multipe copies of Humano-Cylon models (Resurrection Ship, Part I).

Pursuing the Fleet

When Pegasus happened upon a Resurrection Ship, later found to be pursuing the Fleet, they found that the ship was escorted by two basestars and approximately a dozen support vessels. It is assumed that the ships were following the Fleet since the exodus from the Colonies.

According to a copy of D'anna Biers on Caprica, two Cylon Raiders from this Cylon fleet were destroyed relaying a documentary on Galactica's crew back to the Cylons (Final Cut). The battlestar Pegasus located this ship and its escorts sometime after the Fall of the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards and used it to locate Galactica. The two ships rendezvoused and began planning a joint strike on it, but tension between Admiral Helena Cain and Commander William Adama quickly threatened to derail the operation (Pegasus).

Prior to Thrace's recon flight, the function of such a ship was a complete mystery. Admiral Cain speculated that it was a command and control ship. Adama suggested that it might be a Raider factory.

-A large ship, apparently escorted by two [[basestar (RDM)|basestar]]s and approximately a dozen support vessels, is part of a [[Cylon]] fleet which tracked ''[[Galactica]]'' for some time after its departure from [[Kobol]] ([[Final Cut]]). The battlestar ''[[Pegasus]]'' located this ship and its escorts sometime after the [[Fall of the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]] and used it to locate ''Galactica''. The two ships rendezvoused and began planning a joint strike on it, but tension between Admiral [[Helena Cain]] and Commander [[William Adama]] quickly threatened to derail the operation ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).
-The purpose of the Resurrection Ship is to "resurrect" [[Humano-Cylons]] when they are killed, and to give their conciousness a place to download if they are too far from the Cylon homeworld. This makes sense, for the crew of Galactica has killed a number of humano-cylons, and the Cylons obviously don't want to lose their conciousness and memories due to transmission errors over distance.
