Additional Information

Columbia is the name of at least two battlestars in the Colonial Fleet.

Cylon War Columbia

Columbia is one of the original twelve battlestars created during the Cylon War. During Operation Raptor Talon, Columbia is destroyed by the Cylons, presumably with all hands still aboard (Razor Flashback, Episode 3).

Fall of the Colonies Columbia

Columbia, featuring integrated command and control systems and Dr. Gaius Baltar's Command Navigation Program (CNP) is reported as lost, along with Solaria and Triton.

Commander William Adama mentions the destruction of this battlestar in an update to his crew on the Cylon Attack (Miniseries).

Adama once served as executive officer on Columbia (Hero). During Adama's tenure as Columbia’s XO, Galen Tyrol also served under him and followed him to his next two assignments, on the battlestars Valkyrie and Galactica ("Litmus", "Resistance" and "Hero").

Notes

• The name Columbia (derived from the Latin columba, meaning "dove" or "pigeon") is a derivation of the 15th Century Genoan explorer Christopher Columbus. While at first glance such an Earth-based name seems an unlikely choice for an "alien" culture, it might be a hint towards a different version of the Twelve Colonies' ancient history.

• In fan fiction, Columbia is considered the class name of the Original Series battlestars. This is not substantiated by any official sources. Battlestar Wiki does not support this or any other fan fiction.
