Chrion
Gemenon Liner of the Fleet
Chrion was a civilian luxury liner that survived the Fall of the Twelve Colonies in the fleet led by Galactica. It was guided through the passage to the Algae planet by Captain Louanne Katraine.
Chrion was a civilian luxury liner that was part of the refugee fleet led by the Battlestar Galactica following the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. Its design was similar to that of the Olympic Carrier. Chrion is most remembered for being guided safely through the hazardous passage to the Algae planet by Captain Louanne Katraine. (Battlestar Galactica, "The Passage")
Service in the Fleet#
Chrion was a luxury liner, similar in design to the Olympic Carrier. After the Fall of the Twelve Colonies it joined the civilian convoy protected by Galactica. (Battlestar Galactica, "The Passage")
The passage to the Algae planet#
During the Fleet's food crisis, the convoy was forced to cross a dense, radiation-filled star cluster to reach the Algae planet, with Galactica's pilots shepherding the civilian ships over in a series of jumps. Chrion was paired with Captain Louanne "Kat" Katraine for the first outbound trip, and after a brief struggle to get their bearings, she found the liner and guided it safely across. (Battlestar Galactica, "The Passage")
Fate#
No loss of Chrion is recorded. After the survivors of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies reached the new Earth, the remaining ships of the Fleet were flown into the Sun. (Battlestar Galactica, "Daybreak, Part II")
Design#
Chrion was a luxury liner of the same general design as the Olympic Carrier. Like the other vessels of the Fleet it carried a faster-than-light drive that allowed it to jump alongside the convoy. (Battlestar Galactica, "The Passage")

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.
Olympic Carrier
The Olympic Carrier was a civilian passenger liner that escaped the Fall of the Twelve Colonies with the refugee fleet, only to be destroyed on suspicion of carrying a Cylon nuclear device five days after the exodus began.
Algae planet
The algae planet was a habitable world orbiting an unstable star, once visited by the Thirteenth Tribe and later sought by human refugees for its algae before a supernova destroyed it.
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.
Louanne Katraine
Captain Louanne "Kat" Katraine was the assumed name of a drug runner who survived the Fall, became one of Galactica's finest Viper pilots, and died of radiation poisoning escorting a civilian ship through a stellar cluster.
