The Fleet (TRS)

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Revision as of 02:54, 22 March 2014 by CoreyDanian (talk | contribs) (First part of an overall edit I plan. Though I'd like to discuss with others about how to go with it.)
This article involves the fleet of faster-than-light-capable civilian ships in the

Re-imagined Series. For information on its [[Sublight

Propulsion|sublight]] counterpart in the Original Series,

see The Fleet (TOS). For general information on other articles pertaining to fleets,

see: Fleet (disambiguation).


The Fleet is the convoy of ships sheltering the human survivors of the renewed

Cylon attacks against the Colonies. Alternatively, it can also be used to describe the surviving population.

Overview

Galactica leads the Fleet.
  • "The Fleet" originates as a convoy of about 60 commercial and civilian ships in the

space surrounding Caprica. Laura Roslin, with the aid of [[Sharon

Valerii]], initiates the clustering of stranded vessels in the aftermath of the Cylon

invasion of the Twelve Colonies, thus forming the convoy. Around twenty of these ships

are abandoned to a squadron of attacking Raiders because they

either lack FTL drives, or are damaged, like the sublight Botanical Cruiser and

the unpowered Gemenon Liner 1701. The remaining vessels join the battlestar Galactica - the only

Colonial warship known at the time to have survived the Cylon

attack - in the upper atmosphere of the gas giant Ragnar. From this point on,

Galactica shoulders the role of the Fleet's protector (TRS: Miniseries).

away from an attacking Cylon baseship, with 10 still reporting trouble with their FTL

drives. Adding Galactica to this tally, the total number of ships is 64 (TRS: "33").

Laura Roslin faction represent "almost a third of the Fleet" implies that the number

of ships in the Fleet is approximately in the mid-70's. However, Tigh later responds to

the number of civilians joining Roslin by saying, "That's over a third of the people in the

Fleet." Since the term "Fleet" is used interchangeably to describe both the ships and

the civilian populace, this could imply that Tigh's previous statement was an estimate of

the people who left and not the number of ships lost (TRS: "The Farm", "[[Home,

Part I]]").

  • As an indicator of the crew and passengers aboard the ships, the phrase "the Fleet"

also represents all of humanity. Usage of the term "the Fleet" has not gained more than

an informal acceptance, as can be seen by President Roslin's continued use of the term

President of the Twelve Colonies.[1]

  • The Fleet is joined by rebel Cylons, after their numbers are devastated in an ambush

by forces loyal to the Number One model. The rebel basestar is later admitted into

the Fleet, with a Six named Sonja joining the new [[Quorum of

Twelve (RDM)|Quorum]] comprised of ship captains (TRS: "[[Someone to Watch

Over Me]]").

  • The ships of the Fleet would eventually be abandoned by the survivors four years

after being forced to flee their homes. By this point the Fleet has fallen into disrepair,

with Galactica no longer able to protect them. The stresses of combat - especially the

Battle of New Caprica - and years spent in space without proper maintenance have

taken their toll. Ultimately, the decision is made to abandon Galactica for the basestar,

but it takes part in one last operation against loyal Cylon forces.

Afterwards, the Fleet is directed to their new home, a lush [[Earth_(RDM)

  1. A_New_Earth|planet]] suitable for their needs that is unknown to any remaining loyal

Cylons. Shortly after, the Fleet is abandoned and flown into Earth's star. (TRS:

"Daybreak, Part II").

Mentioned Only

Unless otherwise mentioned, the following ships are only listed on the [[:Image:Tally

chalkboard.jpg|voting tally board]] in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II".[2]

Many of these ships are mentioned or featured again, as the production generated a

master list for reference.

align="center"
Name Notes
Adrasteia In Greek mythology, Adrasteia (also

spelled Adrastia, Adrastea, Adrestea, and Adastreia) was a nymph who was charged by

Rhea to raise the infant Zeus in secret to protect him from his father Cronus (Krónos)

in the Dictaean cave.

Amduatey The ship is named after the [[Wikipedia:Ancient

Egypt|Ancient Egyptian]] Amduat, which literally means "That

Which is in the Afterworld". It was an important funeral text usually inscribed in the

tombs of pharoahs. The Amduat told the story of the sun god Ra, who

set in the evening and traveled through the underworld at night, only to rise again in

the morning. It was understood that the dead pharaoh was taking the same journey,

through the underworld, only to rise again with Ra as an immortal in the morning.

Aether In Greek mythology, Aether

is one of the Protogenos (first-born). He is the personification of the "upper sky," space,

and heaven, and the elemental god of the "Bright, Glowing, Upper Air." He is the pure

upper air that the gods breathe, as opposed to regular air, the gloomy lower air of the

Earth, which mortals breathe.

Argo Navis Captained by Simpson Markson, who is

selected to be a judge at Gaius Baltar's trial [3].
Argo Navis was a large southern constellation

representing the Argo, the ship used by Jason and the Argonauts in Greek mythology.

Aurora A ship in the fleet that was home to a friend of [[Emily

Kowalski]] (TRS: "Faith").
In Roman mythology, Aurora is the goddess of dawn. This

goddess also exists within the series's own mythology.

Azimenarius Azimenarius is noted on the whiteboard

voting tracker on Colonial One, but is not on the master voting tally board on

Galactica in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II".

Baah Pakal The XO of the ship was a friend of Saul Tigh's. They held a pair

of DDG-62 engines that would be used in the Blackbird's construction (TRS:

"Flight of the Phoenix"). Later appeared on the master voting tally board on

Galactica in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II".

Boreas Named for the god of the north wind in

Greek mythology.
Boreas is noted on the whiteboard voting tracker on Colonial

One, but is absent from the master tally board on Galactica in "Lay Down Your

Burdens, Part II".

Breton On the voting tally boards on both Colonial One

and Galactica in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II".

Carillon Trader In the Original Series, Carillon is the infamous "casino planet" from "Saga of a Star World".
Cassandra Named for the daughter of King

Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy who had the power of prophecy, but was cursed so

that no one believed her.

Coba Coba is noted on the master tally board on

Galactica, but not on the whiteboard voting tracker on Colonial One in "Lay Down

Your Burdens, Part II".

Clymene Clymene is noted on the whiteboard voting

tracker on Colonial One, but is absent from the master tally board on Galactica in

"Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II".
Several women and deities in Greek myth are

named Clymene.

Dahshur Dahshur is noted on the master tally board on

Galactica, but not on the whiteboard voting tracker on Colonial One in "Lay Down

Your Burdens, Part II".

Diomedes Diomedes is noted on the master tally board on

Galactica, but not on the whiteboard voting tracker on Colonial One in "Lay Down

Your Burdens, Part II".
Presumably named for the ancient hero of the Trojan War

of the same name.

Embla Brokk The name Embla Brokk may be derived from

the names of two figures in Norse mythology: Embla, the first woman, and Brokkr, a dwarf who helped create Draupnir (a magical ring) and Mjolnir (Thor's hammer).
Embla Brokk is noted on the master tally board on

Galactica, but not on the whiteboard voting tracker on Colonial One in "Lay Down

Your Burdens, Part II".

Enkidu Among the first ships to navigate the star cluster to

the algae planet (TRS: "The Passage").
Named after the Enkidu of the Sumerian mythological epic of Gilgamesh.

Epheme The Epheme may be named for a minor character

in Greek mythology who was nurse to the Muses.

Faru Sadin Successfully guided through the star cluster to the algae planet by Captain Louanne "Kat" Katraine,

who sacrifices her life in the process (The Passage).

Freighter 212 A ship on which Lieutenant (later Captain)

Louanne "Kat" Katraine apparently has some "buddies" (TRS: "Final Cut").
Indications are that "Freighter 212" is merely the hull number for the ship, as this

name is not written on either tally boards during the election in "Lay Down Your

Burdens, Part II".

Galatea Probably named for a main character in the Greek

myth of Pygmalion. Pygmalion, a sculptor, creates a statue

of a woman, which is so beautiful that he falls in love with it, and the gods reward him

by bringing her (Galatea) to life.

board on Galactica, but not on the whiteboard voting tracker on Colonial One in

"Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II".
Persephone is the daughter

of the goddess Demeter. She is forced to marry the god of the

underworld, Hades, but Demeter works out a compromise where

Persephone is allowed to return to the world of the living for a portion of the year.

Picon 36 Presumed to have jumped away with the FTL-capable ships in the

Population Demographics

A few points of information are available concerning the demographics of the Fleet. In

"33", before the destruction of the Olympic Carrier, there are 5,251 survivors from

Sagittaron and 49,998 total survivors. In "Home, Part I", the Laura Roslin faction

leaves the Fleet with 18,000 individuals, of which 9,500 ware Gemenese and 6,250

were Capricans. At that time the total population of the Fleet is 47,857.

This information is sparse, but it gives a general idea of the population breakdown of

the Fleet if a few assumptions are made for the sake of argument.

  • Note that Gemenon and Caprica have more citizens in the Roslin faction alone than

Sagittaron has in the entire Fleet. The Twelve Colonies are clearly not represented in

equal proportion.

  • Before the destruction of Olympic Carrier, Sagittaron natives make up 10.50% of the

Fleet. Solely for the purpose of argument, it is assumed that Olympic Carrier's

population breakdown was identical to the rest of the Fleet's and that Sagittaron

continues to make up 10.50% of the Fleet's total population.

  • The figures from the Roslin faction can be interpreted in several ways:
  • ASSUMPTION 1: All Gemenese and Capricans jump to Kobol with the Roslin faction.
  • Caprica: 6,250 persons (13%)
  • Gemenon: 9,500 persons (20%)
  • Sagittaron: 5,026 persons (11%)
  • Others: 27,081 (57%)
  • ASSUMPTION 2: All Gemenese jump to Kobol with the Roslin faction, lured by the

"religion card", but the Caprican portion of the Roslin faction is representative of the

Fleet.

  • Caprica: 28,204 persons (59%)
  • Gemenon: 9,500 persons (20%)
  • Sagittaron: 5,026 persons (11%)
  • Others: 5,127 persons (11%)
  • ASSUMPTION 3: Caprican and Gemenese portions of the Roslin faction are

representative of the Fleet.

  • Caprica: 16,617 persons (35%)
  • Gemenon: 25,258 persons (53%)
  • Sagittaron: 5,026 persons (11%)
  • Others: 956 (2%)
  • Although it is plausible that the Caprican population is substantially larger than the

other Colonies, as Colonial Heavy 798 is in the vicinity when the attack begins, and is

the nucleus around which the Fleet rallies, it is unlikely that the populations of each

colony are grossly unequal, or else the Quorum of Twelve

would be a very poor system of government. The likeliest scenario is therefore

somewhere in between assumptions 1 and 2, with nearly all of the Gemenon

population (drawn by the "religion card") and a large portion of the Caprican

population leaving with Roslin.

  • Alternatively, it is possible that the population of the Colonies are grossly unequal.

Although the structure of the Quorum of Twelve appears to maintain at least a fiction

that the Colonies are roughly equal, next to nothing is known about how the

governmental system of the Colonies was established or how it evolved

over time. Indeed, the United States Senate, for example, by design expressly assumes

that the various states constituting it are 'equal' even though this is clearly not the case

in terms of their respective populations. Furthermore, the fact that a system of

government is 'poor' or else not representatively proportional does not mean it cannot

actually be implemented and even survive for long periods of time.

  • In the Caprica pilot, it is revealed that Caprica and Gemenon are in

very close proximity. Since the Fleet formed up around Colonial One, which was in the

vicinity of Caprica at the time of the attack, the over-representation of the Caprican and

Gemenese portion of the Fleet is now explained.

As for the population distribution, the population of several ships is known: Galactica

(2,693 as of "Water"), Olympic Carrier (1,345 as of "33"), Astral Queen

(1,500 as of "Bastille Day", retconned up from 500 in the

Miniseries) and Pyxis (600 when destroyed in "He That Believeth In Me"). There

are 176 civilians in the cargo hold of Colonial One in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part

II]]". The Fleet is stated at about 75 ships in "Resistance",

retconned up from 40 in the Miniseries.

  • Going by the 75 ship count, the remaining ships besides Galactica and Astral

Queen each carry about 600 persons on average.

would have an average population of about 720 persons per ship.

The Fleet's population has declined by about 8,000 since the above.

Analysis

  • By the time of Felix Gaeta's and Tom Zarek's mutiny aboard Galactica (TRS:

"Blood on the Scales"), dialogue indicates that the Fleet is down to the very low

figure of 35 civilian ships, a surprising loss of about half the initial ships from "33".

Most of these losses remain unaccounted for, as very few civilian ships have been seen

or heard to be actually lost on screen. Given that the human population has only

declined by about one fifth at this point rather than a similar half, this could be a

continuity error or retcon, or the remaining ships would have had to nearly double the

number of civilians aboard to compensate. It is possible in the context of the dialogue in

the episode that the figure of 35 referred only to the number of ships initially loyal to

the mutineers.

  • The political and social troubles befalling the Fleet as it wanders through space, serve

as a metaphor for all of humanity, since the Fleet literally is what is left of humanity

in the television series.

Notes

  • Unofficially, many viewers refer to the Fleet as the "RTF"; "Rag-Tag Fleet", or more fully,

"RTFF." These nicknames come from the term "Rag-Tag Fugitive Fleet," a name used in

the closing credits voice over of the Original Series

(performed by series star Lorne Greene), describing the civilian refugee fleet.

  • In the Miniseries, astute viewers may recognize three spacecraft with notable

resemblances of ships from other SF universes. The first two of these ships aren't

considered a canonical part of the series or the Fleet, but their appearance

adds a bit of humor, and pays homage to other notable science fiction and their creative

staff.

  • Serenity, the central ship from the TV series Firefly and the motion picture Serenity,

appears briefly in the sky outside the window of a

doctor's office where viewers first see Laura Roslin. The ship does not appear in the

Fleet.

TV series makes a cameo in the last shot of the Fleet as Elosha chants a prayer in the memorial service near the end of the

Miniseries. Look to the upper right corner for the ship in a still frame. All Season 1

opening credits use this shot, so Enterprise makes a very quick appearance with

each of the first 13 episodes (This is best viewed from the Season 1 DVD set).

Ship]] from the Original Series, which in turn were the re-used models from the SF film

Silent Running, a Universal/MCA movie that special

effects guru John Dykstra worked on a few years prior. At least one FTL-capable

version of this ship survives and exists in the Fleet (TRS: "The Passage").

  • A list of blueprints of ships in the Fleet is available.
    • These are considered non-canon.
  • In a deleted scene from Litmus, the Coronis, as a ship carrying people who are

unhappy about being last in food ration distribution, is mentioned. However, it is not

present on either the master tally board on Galactica or the whiteboard tracker on

Colonial One in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II". As Coronis has not been

mentioned in any canonical capacity, it is considered totally abandoned by the

producers.

    • In Greek mythology Coronis is the name of several

figures.
