| Additional Information | |||
Pyxis is an orange-colored passenger liner in the Fleet that survives both exoduses. Its last captain is Jules Tarney.
During the attack on the Colonies, Pyxis was in orbit of Canceron, before eventually joining up with the rest of the surviving ships near Caprica ("The Plan", "Miniseries")
Pyxis is one of the many ships that are escorted by Raptors through a very dense star cluster to the algae planet (The Passage).
The ship is lost in the Battle of the Ionian Nebula when a spiraling Cylon Raider, damaged by Viper fire, impacts near the engines, resulting in catastrophic damage. The resulting explosion destroys the ship with 600 people aboard (He That Believeth In Me).
The interior of this ship is not shown in any actual episodes of the re-imagined series. The only times that the interior was shown was in the movie "The Plan" and during two deleted scenes of the episode "Day Break". The inside of this ship has orange walls with seats identical to the ones inside Colonial One. By close examination, there are two windows on each side: one on the top and one on the middle similar to Colonial One's windows. This, however, could be a design flaw as the windows do not match with the exterior design of the ship as there should only be one window instead of two (Daybreak deleted scenes, The Plan).
Notes
- The ship can first be seen joining Laura Roslin's convoy in the Miniseries. However, the name Pyxis is first introduced on the voting tally board in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II", and the ship is not identified as such until "He That Believeth In Me".
- Pyxis is a minor southern constellation introduced by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille under the name Pyxis Nautica. It is perhaps supposed to represent the compass of Argo Navis.
