Aurora is the Roman goddess of the dawn, and possibly one of the Lords of Kobol. When Kara Thrace visits the oracle Brenn in Dogsville, she touches a small winged icon of the goddess, which is then given to her by the oracle.
She later gives the icon to Admiral William Adama as a figurehead to place on the bow of the model sailing ship he is building (Maelstrom).
Notes[edit]
- After the events of the episode, "Crossroads, Part II", there is a possible connection between this probable Lord of Kobol and Kara Thrace. For more on this story arc, see The Destiny.
- Her Greek counterpart is Eos. She belonged to the Titans and not the Olympians. Battlestar Galactica mythology has mixed many real-world Earth mythologies and theologies that otherwise would not be connected, such as Norse mythology (Ragnar, Valkyrie) and Judeo-Christian elements (God). But it might also indicate the Aurora does not belong to the Lords of Kobol.
- Aurora is also the name of a ship in the Fleet.
