Which civilian ship did Zarek allege was armed when the President's faction was aboard in Season 2?

The Adriatic. --Peter Farago 17:03, 15 October 2005 (EDT)

Lee Adama leaves Zarek and his men in control of the Astral Queen[edit]

Who's operating the ship? Does everyone in the future know how to operate a FTL-capable former starliner? Is it so easy, that in a group of random criminals, one would find enough skilled people to adequately run the ship? They probably didn't leave the old crew aboard, under the command of their former prisoners, right? --Bp 15:03, 7 March 2006 (CST)

It stands to reason that a handful of them may be able to adequately run the ship. Obviously, as stated in the episode, the Queen is not totally self-sufficient and relies on the Fleet. It was also implied in "Colonial Day" that there were former prisoners who were technically inclined, as they had fixed a technical issue on Marshall Bagot's ship. -- Joe Beaudoin 15:27, 7 March 2006 (CST)
"dependent for food and fuel", nothing about operational support, And some cons fixed an air-conditioner. I guess I assumed an FTL capable starship (or any starship) was more complicated. Also, the thing has some pretty powerful equipment on board, just the engines even, that could be used to make simple but devastating weapons by some technically inclined individual. Giving up control of the ship was a terrible idea. IMHO. --Bp 16:01, 7 March 2006 (CST)


New Caprica Landing[edit]

This ship is one of the ships seen next to Colonial One in New Caprica. Should we add this? --Sauron18 08 April 2006

Yep, thanks for the catch. --CalculatinAvatar 21:46, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

Astral Queen counterpart[edit]

Doesn't the Astral Queen have a counterpart?--CoreyDanian 10:49 3 October 2006

Yes, the Prison Barge. --Peter Farago 19:36, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
Give the ship a proper name please? Prison Barge seems so selective.--CoreyDanian 3 October 2006
If you have a source on the TOS version's proper name, feel free to enlighten us. --Peter Farago 22:41, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
