Lunar Avion

Lunar Avion is a Terran shuttlecraft that Sarah Fowler and Michael use in their escape from Lunar Seven, hoping to make it to Paradeen.

It is fitted with a form of suspended animation, artificial gravity, and sub-light engines, as well as rudimentary computers that can communicate (via voice) between themselves and automated receiving stations, such as those on Paradeen. The ship is primarily computer-controlled and capable of self-correcting navigation Basic life support

The shuttle is intercepted and towed in by Captain Apollo, causing division within the Fleet over how to handle the "Earthlings" aboard. It is later freed through less-than-clandestine actions of Apollo, Starbuck, and select Warriors loyal to Adama against Sire Geller's and the Quorum of Twelve's edicts, and escorted to Paradeen.

Commandant Leiter's destroyer tracks the craft, and changes course due to the detection of the Viper escort ^{(TOS: "Greetings From Earth")}.

Notes

The model for the Lunar Avion looks remarkably like that of Ranger 3, Buck Rogers' space shuttle, from the 1979 Buck Rogers motion picture.
