The freighter Prometheus

The Prometheus is a freighter in the Fleet rumored to be so rife with illicit activity, it is 'off the grid'. It served as the base of operations for the ex-mercenary Phelan and was the main trading hub for the Fleet's black market ("Black Market").

Notes

The name of the freighter is notable, as it seems to be named after the Greek Titan Prometheus. Prometheus is noted for taking fire from the Gods and giving it to the humans against Zeus's wishes. Given Tom Zarek's continual referencing of Admiral Adama as Zeus, and the fact that the Prometheus is the hub of the black market, an organization which seeks to redistribute goods from the military to the civilians, the parallel is very apparent.
