Columbia (TRS)
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
New Series
The name of a battlestar, featuring integrated command and control systems, and featuring Dr. Gaius Baltar's Comand Navigation Programme (CNP). She is reported as lost, along with the [Solaira]]' and Triton.
Notes
- According to information released by Zoic, the Columbia was one of the first five battlestars constructed by the Colonials, the other four being Galactica, Pegasus, Atlantia and Rycon.
- During the opening of the Mini-Series, Arron Doral states that the Battlestar Galactica is the "last of her kind". This would suggest that:
- Either the Columbia mentioned later in the mini-series may have been built much later than the original twelve battlestars, possibly as a replacement vessel
- Doral was simply making a point that the Galactica is the only remaining battlestar with non-integrated systems
The Original Series
The Columbia was the class-name given to Galactica-type battlestars.
