The Returners are Colonial citizens, most known to be long dead, who reappear, apparently very much alive, in an old Colonial ship, Medivac 12, encountered by battlestar Galactica as it passed by a mysterious graveyard of Colonial ships in a region of ship very far away from the region of the Twelve Colonies.

Laura Roslin, reading from the Sacred Scrolls, notes a passage that "The dead shall return in an ark of fire." Medivac 12 is suffering from hull breeches and internal fires as its inhabitants ward off Cylon Centurion attacks.

While Commander William Adama and his son, Lee Adama, strongly believe the people to be Cylon constructs similar to Cylon agents, Caprica-Valerii tells them that these people are not Cylons.

Kara Thrace is unsure of the nature of these people, particularly after she encounters her dead fiancee’, Zak Adama, aboard the ship (Battlestar Galactica 0). Anastasia Dualla's brother, Darrin, also appears on the derelict ship.

Some of the Returners escape via zip pods to other ships in the Fleet, despite Galactica's quarantine order (Battlestar Galactica 1)
