History#
Adrasteia was one of the civilian ships that escaped the destruction when the Fall of the Twelve Colonies scattered the survivors of humanity, taking its place among the ragtag fleet that gathered around the surviving warships. (Battlestar Galactica miniseries; Battlestar Galactica, "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II")
The ship is only known from the election tally boards. During the presidential vote between Laura Roslin and Gaius Baltar, Adrasteia was listed on the boards aboard both Colonial One and Galactica, which shows it was still part of the fleet at that point.

Galactica
Galactica was a Jupiter-class battlestar that served the Colonial Fleet from the Cylon War until the discovery of Earth. Never networked, it survived the Fall of the Twelve Colonies and shepherded the last fifty thousand humans across uncharted space before being scuttled into the sun.
Fall of the Twelve Colonies
A single day of Cylon attack killed billions of people across Colonial space. Barely fifty thousand escaped in a refugee fleet.
Gaius Baltar
Dr. Gaius Baltar was a celebrated computer scientist whose vanity and manipulation by a Cylon agent handed the enemy the keys to the Colonial defenses, enabling the near-extermination of humanity. He survived to become Vice President, President, prophet, and finally a reluctant penitent.
Laura Roslin: the dying leader
