Galactica is one of the Colonial warships built in direct response to the generational war with the Cylon Empire.
Abilities[edit]
In addition to Viper support, Galactica's defensive and offensive potential includes energy shields, a battery of laser turrets and fusion missiles (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #11).
Locations[edit]
Server Room[edit]
Galactica utilizes bubble memory in its server room in 7335 (Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #2).
While Boomer works to decrypt McIntosh's data chip, Diana destroys part of the server room to prevent this, as the data chip contains information that links Councillor Osiris into the attack at Umbra (Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #2—#4).
History[edit]
By 7335, Adama commands Galactica, with his eldest son and daughter, Apollo and Athena respectively, serving aboard. Boomer, Jolly and Starbuck would later serve aboard the ship following their graduation in 7335 (Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #1).
Fleeing the Cylon Tyranny[edit]
A "Second" Galactica[edit]
Galactica was never commissioned in the alternate reality (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #3), as the divergent alternate reality's creation sprung from an overloaded temporal battery, thus removing Galactica from all existence in a temporal storm that only Apollo and Starbuck witness (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #1).
However, Galactica from the primary reality was transported—sans crew—into the alternate reality, becoming an incongruous element. It is discovered by pirates lead by the privateer Starbuck, who claim it as their own. Aboard her, Starbuck's crew of scientists and technicians acquire Cylon components, including an Imperious Leader, devising a variety of anti-Cylon technologies.
Such discoveries include the defensive sensor shield, rendering Galactica invisible to Cylon scanning technologies (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #4).
Galactica becomes the last known battlestar that Baltifer hunts for and nearly succeeds in finding, resulting in the Battle of Cache. After the temporally displaced Starbuck influences his alternate, Galactica becomes the lynchpin that allows not only the Colonial Resistance to seize its first decisive victory, but to repair history by saving itself from the Nebula Ambush (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #5).
