New Series[edit]
The name of a battlestar, featuring integrated command and control systems, and featuring Dr. Gaius Baltar's Comand Navigation Programme (CNP). She is reported as lost, along with the Solaria' and Triton.
Notes[edit]
- According to information released by Zoic, the Columbia was one of the first five battlestars constructed by the Colonials, the other four being Galactica, Pegasus, Atlantia and Rycon.
- During the opening of the Mini-Series, Aaron Doral states that the Battlestar Galactica is the "last of her kind". This would suggest that:
- Either the Columbia mentioned later in the mini-series may have been built much later than the original twelve battlestars, possibly as a replacement vessel
- Doral was simply making a point that the Galactica is the only remaining battlestar with non-integrated systems
The Original Series[edit]
According to some fan circles, The Columbia was the class-name given to Galactica-type battlestars. The ship itself was lost some time before the abortive "peace conference" at Cimtar (Gun on Ice Planet Zero).
Notes[edit]
Columbia is perhaps the most unlikely name for a space vessel developed by a wholly "alien" culture, being a derivation of the 15th Century Genoan explorer Christopher Columbus - which pushes the bounds of coincidence to their breaking point.
