Cloud Nine (credit: Sci-Fi Channel)

Cloud 9 is a massive, jump-capable luxury liner within the Colonial fleet. Extensively damaged during the Cylon Attack, she had to be evacuated while repairs were made (Colonial Day). Following her repairs, she returned to full service within the fleet, and provided a venue for the first sitting of the interim Quorum of Twelve implemented by President Roslin (Colonial Day).

The ship is unique in that as well as traditional living and working space on board, the Cloud 9 incoporates a huge pressurised biome that provides a realistic simulation of a planetary surface, including gardens, buildings, trees - even an artificial sky.

After her flight from captivity in Galactica's brig, President Roslin along with Captain Lee Adama and the priestess Elosha fled to Cloud 9 in order to hide from Colonel Tigh and Commander Adama, who would surely be looking for them now. They were taken in by Tom Zarek, who was apparently living on Cloud 9 full time now after being released from prison abord the Astral Queen (Resistance).
