The Colonial Defender[edit]
This "Wedge-Shaped vessel" is also known as the Colonial Defender, it was a widely used Ship in the Old Cylon Wars, though it makes an appearence in the new series it now only a Civillian Ship
The Defender was used widely by the colonials but its class fell out of fashion and most where either retired to Civillian ships or Scrapped. In the Colonial Fleet, there are at least two of these unnamed Colonial defender's [1]. One of them can be briefly seen among the Fleet just behind the Gemenon Traveller when Raptor 719 requests to dock with the heavy transport (Flesh and Bone).
At least one is part of Galactica's fleet in orbit around New Caprica) and among the last three ships to perform an emergency jump away from the planet when the Cylons arrive (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II).
One is also part of the first group of ships to be shepherded through the radiation cloud of a star cluster to a planet rich with consumable algae, just behind the Space Park (The Passage) [2]. Another one can be seen just beyond the Fleet gathering with other civilian ships.
Further appearances are during a refueling mission over a gas giant (Maelstrom) and after the jump to the Ionian nebula (Crossroads, Part II).
Notes[edit]
- This ship appears to be based on a design created by a fan of the series, Todd Boyce. On his website where many other fan fiction renderings are hosted, he called the ship the "Defender".
- While the wedge-shaped vessel shares its design with the "Defender", it does not share its military purpose. The Defender is a military ship, envisioned by the artist as a support vessel for larger battlestars. However, in the series canon, Galactica is the only Colonial military vessel in the Fleet.
- With some Reaver additions, the ship appears as a background vessel in the movie Serenity. The effects for both Serenity and Battlestar Galactica were produced by Zoic.
- Battlestar Wiki is not a fan fiction repository. However, the remarkable similarity between the artist's ship (created before the episode "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II") and its inclusion in the Re-imagined Series warrant mention in this encyclopedia.
- The Colonial Defender has 2 mark Designs Mk1 is The Image you see above MK2 has a Hanagar in the Middle, although this ship is the exact same design as The Colonial Defender it doesn't share its military purpose, it is used more as a Civillian Ship in the RDM
