Additional Information


Osiris (0913) was an Orion class "pocket battlestar"[1] in the Colonial Fleet, during the First Cylon War. It served in a semi-secretive role during the war, having been hidden away by Colonial admiralty. At the time of its destruction, Osiris was attached to the 54th Battlestar Group.

History

Osiris first entered service sometime before the tenth year of the First Cylon War, but was reported as destroyed in an earlier engagement with Cylon forces. However, in reality the ship was hiding in Cylon-held space as part of a secret "ghost fleet" the Colonial admiralty was assembling as part of an effort to strike at the Cylons.

Sometime after being hidden away, Osiris is tasked by the admiralty for a combat jump to Djerba, as part of a mission to deliver false intelligence to the Cylons.


Battle of Djerba

Main article: Battle of Djerba

Osiris successfully completes its jump to Djerba, but a Cylon basestar jumps in shortly afterwards. Initially the Cylon DRADIS cannot detect the ship due to its hull DRADIS-absorbing qualities, but the ship is eventually located when Commander Ozar pushes ahead with the mission, and powers up for attack.

The ship is quickly overwhelmed, and the commander makes the decision to launch its nuclear missile compliment at the basestar. However, due to battle damage, the launchers are compromised so the missiles cannot be fired. In order to save those on the planet from Cylon assault, the commander orders the ship to ram the basestar, where she manually detonates the ship's nuclear warheads. Both vessels are destroyed in the explosion, resulting in the loss of all hands (Blood and Chrome).
