Delphi is a freighter within the Colonial Fleet that has been converted into a marketplace vessel.

Delphi serves as a commercial hub for the fleet, featuring more than thirty different merchants offering various goods and services to the Fleet's population. The ship is positioned among the other civilian vessels in the middle section of the fleet, visible alongside notable ships such as Adena, a passenger liner known for its complement of socialators, and Cerebus, the Fleet's archive ship.

History

During a period of political upheaval within the fleet, Delphi becomes one of several ships experiencing growing protests. The unrest is part of a broader movement among civilians and some military personnel questioning the fleet's leadership and future direction. Protests also occur aboard Galactica, Rising Star, Celestra, and several other ships, though these demonstrations are dispersed without violence.

The political tension is connected to Ambassador Puck's followers, who push for changes in fleet leadership. Many in the civilian population desire to abandon the search for Earth and instead colonize the first suitable planet they encounter, creating a fundamental divide over the Fleet's mission and purpose.
