| Additional Information | |||
The rebel basestar is one among many others in the Cylon fleet before a civil war broke out, segregating a number of humanoid Cylon copies of models Six, Two, Eight, and later, a lone Three from the others.
When Natalie, a Six, proposes that they unbox the Threes to learn of the Final Five and has the telencephalic inhibitors removed from the Centurions to get the One, Four and Five models to co-operate, other Cylon models, lead by the Ones, object to the change, orchestrating an attack on basestars controlled by Natalie's faction. The attack occurs in a remote area far from a Resurrection Ship in an attempt to permanently kill its occupants (Six of One, The Ties That Bind).
Natalie's basestar survives but is seriously damaged, its Raider complement all but destroyed, with only a few Heavy Raiders and at least 3 Raiders remaining. The ship is later found by the Demetrius crew, captained by Kara Thrace. They repair the basestar's FTL by cannibalizing Colonial datacord and other elements from a Raptor. To effect repair, however, the ship's Hybrid was taken offline. Another problem is that the basestar will have to jump to the fleet first, making the ship vulnerable against Galactica, but is saved after the Demetrius arrive to talk Galactica out of attacking the basestar, and they form an alliance to destroy the Resurrection Hub. (Faith, Guess What's Coming To Dinner?)
Later, when the basestar's Hybrid was brought online, it repeatedly jumps the ship several times following the death of Natalie, quickly gaining on the Resurrection Hub. The basestar eventually finds the Hub and participates in the Battle of the Resurrection Hub (The Hub).
After D'Anna Biers agrees to renew their alliance with the Colonials, the rebel basestar joins the Fleet on the final jump to Earth, only to find it in ruins. Admiral Adama invites their Cylon allies to follow the Fleet to find a new home (Sometimes a Great Notion).
When Felix Gaeta launches a mutiny and seizes control of Galactica, President Roslin and Gaius Baltar escape to the rebel basestar. Roslin convinces the Cylons to help her stop Gaeta. She advises them to move the ship into the middle of the Fleet so that Gaeta can't fire upon them. At the height of the situation, the rebel baseship comes very close to engaging Galactica. Fortunately, Adama retakes Galactica and gets the basestar to stand down (Blood on the Scales).
Since joining the fleet, the ship is under repair, by using the organic resin to restrengthen the hull, as well as rebuilding the missing outer edges of the ship (Deadlock).
