Additional Information

The Flattop type is a mobile rescue and repair fleet part of the Colonial Auxiliary Fleet, dating back to the First Cylon War. Here, they assisted Battlestar Groups in firefighting, recovery, and repair of troubled Fleet ships (Blood and Chrome).

Over 40 years later, they are still in service, and at least two of these ships, Virgon Express, and Carina, are able to escape with Galactica following the Fall of the Twelve Colonies ("Miniseries").

Notes

• In the separate continuity of the Dynamite comics series, ships of the same design were used by the Caprican Expeditionary Fleet during the Third Colonial Conflict.
• The Flattop design in the Re-imagined Series is based on an Original Series ship design.
