Revision as of 22:56, 9 July 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/her flagship during the Cylon Attack after Fleet Headquarters on Picon is destroyed.

Atlantia herself is soon destroyed over Virgon, 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 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 three of the remaining battlestars of the Colonial fleet, with only Galactica surviving to fend off the Cylons (Saga of a Star World).

-The ''Atlantia'' was one of about 120 [[Battlestars]] in the Colonial fleet.It was mentioned once in the [[Miniseries]] and once in the second season. At the time of the [[Cylon attack]], it served as the flagship for [[Admiral Nagala]], who assumed control of the fleet after the [[Picon]] [[Fleet Headquarters]] were destroyed. In the miniseries novelization, it mentions that ''Atlantia'' was a newer [[Battlestar]], much like the [[Pegasus]]. Unfortunately, it was destroyed whilst participating in a battle forming up in the orbit of [[Virgon]]. One can assume that it was in posession of the Command Navigation Program developed by [[Gaius Baltar]] and sabotaged with exploitable back-doors by [[Caprica-Six]]. [[Admiral Adama]] is said to have made his 1,000th landing on ''Atlantia'', and [[Galen Tyrol]] served aboard it before comming to ''[[Galactica]]''. The novelization states that Lee Adama served aboard her before the attack. This statement might not be true, due to novelizations not being considered [[canon]].
