| Additional Information | |||
Archeron is a Galactica type battlestar in service with the Colonial Fleet during the First Cylon War.
Ten years into the war, Ensign William Adama and ECO Coker Fasjovik are secretly ordered to transport Graystone Industries scientist Doctor Beka Kelly to the Archeron aboard the Raptor Wild Weasel. Traveling to Sector 12 near Cylon-controlled space, Adama, Fasjovik and Kelly are shocked to find Archeron destroyed in an apparent Cylon attack.
Following the discovery of Archeron's remains, Wild Weasel is pursued by Cylon forces through the extensive debris field. Wanting to get in from open space, Adama leads the attacking raiders into the remains of a flight pod, and then into the remains of the ships's FTL drive. The last raider is destroyed after flying into one of the drive's pistons (TRS: Blood and Chrome).
Notes[edit]
- Dialogue in Blood and Chrome refers to Archeron as a "heavy cruiser", however according to Doug Drexler's Facebook, the Archeron is actually a Battlestar:
- "We can forgive Beqa (sic), being a civlian, for getting it incorrect, but Archeron is a Battlestar."[1]

Archeron's FTL drive was still largely intact and working, following it's destruction.
