Cloud 9: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:13, 25 October 2005

Cloud 9 is a massive, jump-capable luxury liner within the Colonial fleet. Extensively damaged during the Cylon Attack, she had to be evacuated while repairs were made (Colonial Day). Following her repairs, she returned to full service within the fleet, and provided a venue for the first sitting of the interim Quorum of Twelve implemented by President Roslin (Colonial Day).

The ship is unique in that as well as traditional living and working space on board, Cloud 9 incoporates a huge pressurised biome that provides a realistic simulation of a planetary surface, including gardens, buildings, trees - even an artificial sky.

After her flight from captivity in Galactica's brig, President Roslin along with Captain Lee Adama and the priestess Elosha fled in a Raptor to Cloud 9 in order to hide from Colonel Tigh and Commander Adama, who would surely be looking for them. They were taken in by Tom Zarek, who met with them on board Cloud 9. Because of the amount of inter-ship traffic that orignated from and went to the ship, using Cloud 9 as their first stop made it virtually impossible for Galactica to track their final hiding place (Resistance).

It's inferred by Commander Adama's orders of shore leave for Colonel Tigh that Cloud 9 has a swimming pool. Colonel Tigh never left Galactica to enjoy it as his Raptor was sabotaged in an assassination attempt (Final Cut).
