| Additional Information | |||
Botanical Cruisers are ships with domes that may serve as space-borne vacation ships, or are used as greenhouses for specialty food or plant-matter production.
One Botanical Cruiser escapes the initial Cylon attack on the Colonies.
New President Laura Roslin visits this ship while gathering a caravan from surviving civilian ships surrounding the colony of Caprica. A young girl named Cami and her grandmother are on this Botanical Cruiser with many other survivors.
Unfortunately, the particular ship that Roslin visits lacks an FTL drive, and the light-speed-enabled part of President Roslin's caravan of refugee ships are forced to leave that Botanical Cruiser and many other sublight ships behind when Cylon Raiders discover the fleet of ships. This ship and others without FTL drives are presumed destroyed by the Cylons (Miniseries).
At least one other Cruiser exists in the Fleet. A FTL-capable Cruiser is successfully escorted to the algae planet through a dangerous star cluster (The Passage).
Notes[edit]
- The Botanical Cruiser was an homage to the Agro Ships from the original Battlestar Galactica (TOS), which themselves were re-used models from the botanical spacecraft from the movie Silent Running, a Universal/MCA movie that special effects guru John Dykstra worked on a few years prior to the Original Series.
- The episode, "The Passage," confirms that another Botanical Cruiser exists in the Fleet. Previously, it was believed that the use of the Cruiser in shots of the Fleet was a continuity error.
