Majahual: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:28, 8 April 2006

The Majahual is a mining ship in the Fleet. It conducts mining operations for five weeks in the asteroid belt of an unnamed star system, during which time the Colonials face repeated harassment by Cylon Raiders.

The battlestar Galactica stays behind to protect the Majahual during its mining. Galactica must use visual sighting from their CAP Vipers to eliminate the Raiders since DRADIS cannot differentiate the system's debris from the enemy fighters.

The Majahual is able to collect enough "strategic ore" to allow the Viper construction resources on the battlestar Pegasus an opportunity to construct at least two squadrons of Viper Mk. VII fighters (Scar).

-==Notes==
-*"Majahual" is the name of a small fishing and resort village on Mexico's Caribbean coast. What relation this could have to Colonial history is unclear; it may be a coincidence. The name apparently means "No water for the witch" in Mayan.
-*The name could also just be wordplay: "Majahual" sounds like "Major Haul", as in a major haul of ore.
