| Additional Information | |||
Adriatic is an armed civilian ship in the Fleet. She is the only known civilian vessel to be armed. The purpose of these missiles, where they came from, or if any other ships like her are normally armed remains unknown.
Shortly after the discovery of Kobol, Adriatic joins Roslin's fleet that jumps to the planet to find the road map to Earth. It is in weapons range of Kara Thrace and her party's stolen Cylon Heavy Raider when it returns from Caprica, though it does not fire (TRS: "Home, Part I"). She, and other ships of Roslin's Fleet are later re-united with Galactica's Fleet.
After the fleet is stopped cold by a great star cluster that put out immense amounts of stellar radiation, the senior staff decide the best way to proceed is to shepherd the civilian ships to the other side by using hardened Colonial Raptors who will be able to "see" for the blinded civilian crews. Adriatric is among the ships chosen for outbound trip 1, along with along with Zephyr, Chrion, Pyxis, Cybele, Thera Sita, and Enkidu, and will be escorted by Raptor 118, piloted by Brendan Costanza. After offloading non crucial civilians to the Galactica, they proceed, however she is lost when Costanza fails to locate her in the cluster, and is forced to jump to the next waypoint or suffer radiation poisoning. (TRS: "The Passage").
Notes[edit]
- Adriatic appears to be named after the Adriatic Sea, an arm of the Mediterranean Sea that separates Italy from the Balkan peninsula on Earth.
- In addition to the body of water, the White Star Line named two of its vessels Adriatic, one entering service in 1871 and the other in 1907.
