Krypter

The colonial equivalent of the "mayday" distress call.

In the mini-series, after destroying a Cylon missile inbound for Colonial Heavy 798, Lee Adama loses power to his Viper, and puts out a mayday call to Colonial Heavy 798 prefixed by, "Krypter, krypter, krypter..."

Re-imagined Series definition: used to signify a civilian transport vessel over a certain gross weight/mass, i.e. Colonial Heavy 798

Re-imagined Series definition: Colonial version of "mayday"; in practice, the term is usually repeated three times, see: krypter ^{(TRS: "Miniseries", "Hero")}
