Demetrius

The Demetrius is a ship in the Fleet.

Its name is shown on the voting tally board in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II".

When Kendra Shaw tries to tune in to a Talk Wireless interview with Gaius Baltar, she picks up a transmission from the Adriatic to the Demetrius concerning cargo wasting in Adriatics's holds (Razor).

Notes

• Demetrius I was a Greco-Bactrian king who reigned circa 200-180 BCE as well as many other historical figures.
• Demeter is the Greek goddess of grain and agriculture, the pure nourisher of youth and the green earth, the health-giving cycle of life and death, and preserver of marriage and the sacred law.
• The ship has been rumored to play a large role during the early episodes of Season 4. A partially completed set was revealed during a recent set tour, showing the ship to have a configuration similar to that of a submarine (i.e. cylindrical, very cramped). It is set to make its debut in episode five or six .
