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 still active FTL drive. The last raider is destroyed after flying into one of the drive's pistons (TRS: Blood and Chrome).

Notes

• 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."

• Unusually, the nameplate of the Archeron is rendered in the typeface used for the word "Galactica" in series title card and on Colonial unit seals, rather than the font normally used for ship markings in the reimagined series.
• The name is likely a misspelling of Acheron, one of the rivers of the Greek underworld.
