| Additional Information | |||
Gemenon Liner 1701 is one of the first ships to be found by Laura Roslin and Colonial One after the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies. By the time the ship is found it is in a spin and nearly powerless, and as a result, it's passengers and crew had to be evacuated to Colonial One.
Only a few moments after the ship is found, two Cylon Raiders appear and launch nuclear missiles at the convoy. Lee Adama uses Colonial One's own hyperdrive to flood an energy coil being stored in its hangar bay with an excess of energy, thereby producing an electromagnetic pulse. The pulse confuses the Cylon DRADIS into displaying a nuclear detonation, and has the added effect of disarming the nuclear warheads, thereby saving the convoy.
Notes
- During an exterior shot just prior to this scene, Colonial One, a Gemenon Traveler/Kimba Huta type ship, and a Flattop-type ship can be seen approaching a red Luxury liner, engaged in a clockwise spin. The captain of Colonial One announces that they will be approaching the liner's starboard docking hatch, which matches the physical arrangement of the ships in the external shot.
- The CGI model of this ship, made available on Gabriel Köerner's website, identifies an Intersun liner in similar red livery as "Gemon Liners".
- The number '1701' is an in-joke to the registry numbers of the various starships Enterprise featured in Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Ron D. Moore was a long-time writer for these sequels of the original Star Trek series.
