For other uses of the name, see Aurora.
A figurine of Aurora.

Aurora is the 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.

Thrace 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).

After Thrace's mysterious return, she is given command of the Demetrius to search for Earth and Adama gives her the figurine back. She keeps it on the table in her cabin and plays with it when she is frustrated about the lack of success ("Six of One", "The Ties That Bind"). [1]

Notes[edit]

  • After the events of the episode, "Crossroads, Part II", there may be connection between this possible Lord of Kobol and Kara Thrace. For more on this story arc, see the article The Destiny.
  • Aurora's Greek counterpart is Eos.
  • More on the curious references to real-world Earth mythology and theology is available in the article Mythological references.

References[edit]
