Intersun is the name of a starline company in operation throughout the Twelve Colonies.
Intersun apparently offered many flights to and from cities scattered about the Twelve Colonies. Almost all of their passenger liners were likely FTL-capable to handle the distances between each colony, but there were likely sublight passenger shuttles to move supersonically or hypersonically across a Colonial world from city to city.
Colonial One was operated by Intersun as Colonianl Heavy 798 and operated under Caprican registry. Before the Cylon attack it was chartered by the Colonial Government (thus its flight designation) to ferry Laura Roslin, other minor officials, and the members of the Colonial press to Galactica for its decommissioning ceremony. Colonial Heavy 798 is re-designated Colonial One by its pilot after Laura Roslin is sworn-in as President of the Twelve Colonies after the Cylon attacks. This starliner becomes President Roslin's principal residence and office.
Notes[edit]
- Starlines are analogous to airlines such as Northwest Airlines or American Airlines of the real-world Earth.
