Additional Information


In the Colonial Fleet, there are at least two of these unnamed wedge-shaped vessels [1]. One of them is briefly seen among the fleet orbiting just behind Gemenon Traveller when Raptor 719 asked 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 New Caprica 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, where it was not seen on the other side (The Passage). Another one was seen just beyond the fleet gathering with other civilian ships.

A further appearance is during the fuelling 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 the rendering from the Re-imagined Series is sufficient to warrant its note in this encyclopedia.
