Additional Information

The Demetrius is a ship in the Fleet and survives the Battle of the Ionian Nebula.

When Kendra Shaw tries to tune in to a Talk Wireless interview with Gaius Baltar, she picks up a transmission from the Adriatic to the Demetrius concerning cargo wasting in Adriatics's holds (Razor).

After Kara Thrace's return, a torn William Adama sends Thrace and a hand-picked crew in the Demetrius on a mission to find Earth. This is despite Laura Roslin's warnings that Thrace is not to be trusted (Six of One). The "party line" is that they are undertaking a survey mission to find food sources. Included in the package are two, possibly four, Vipers attached to the hull, as the Demetrius has no known armaments, but has a vast array of navigational charts. (The Ties That Bind).

The hand-pick crew consists of:

• Karl "Helo" Agathon
• Felix Gaeta
• Sharon "Athena" Agathon
• Samuel Anders
• Diana"Hardball" Seelix
• Eammon "Gonzo" Pike
• Three unknown crew members.

Design

The main quarters area of the ship are small and cramped like that of a submarine. The only known separate compartment is the captain's bridge.

Notes

• Its name is first shown on the voting tally board in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II".
• Demetrius I was a Greco-Bactrian king who reigned circa 200-180 BCE as well as many other historical figures.
• Demeter is the Greek goddess of grain and agriculture, the pure nourisher of youth and the green earth, the health-giving cycle of life and death, and preserver of marriage and the sacred law.
• The ship will play a large role during the early episodes of Season 4. A partially completed set was revealed during a set tour in June 2006, showing the ship to have a configuration similar to that of a submarine. According to Ron D. Moore, he describes the ship as the "closest we’ve ever come to a sort of Das Boot – type look and feel on this programme since the [2003] mini series". It is set to make its debut in episode five or six.
