- For the canonical depiction of this subject, see: The Fleet (TOS)
After the destruction of the Twelve Colonies in a devastating genocidal attack on the Colonial worlds, Commander Adama orders all survivors to find what operational ships that remain on their shattered worlds and fly them towards battlestar Galactica, the sole surviving battlestar after her sister warships are also destroyed in the two-prong Cylon attack. With nowhere else to call home, Adama decrees that the remnants of humanity will search for the Thirteenth Tribe on a planet called Earth.
Under the guardianship of Galactica, the Fleet comprises of 220 civilian ships. With the exception of Galactica, the ships are not capable of lightspeed flight. The Fleet's overall speed is limited to that of the slowest ship within the group. As all ships in the Fleet were filled to (or over) capacity, removing the slower ships from the caravan is not an option.
Dynamite Entertainment
Sometime following the Battle of Galaxy's Edge in "The Hand of God," Count Iblis creates a "black hole" that transports the Fleet into a realm separate from the known universe. A few of the ships are destroyed during transit, and other ships are damaged; an explosion of a tanker knocks Adama unconscious, making him susceptible to outside influence (Battlestar Galactica: Folly of the Gods).
Ironically, the Cylon fleet pursuing them sues for peace, and Lucifer's Cylons aid the Colonials against the Meclons (Battlestar Galactica: Folly of the Gods).
