Embla Brokk: civilian ship of the Fleet
Refugees aboard this civilian vessel cast ballots in the presidential election contested between Laura Roslin and Gaius Baltar.
The presidential contest between Laura Roslin and Dr. Gaius Baltar was decided across a scattering of hulls in deep space. Embla Brokk was one of them: a civilian vessel named on Galactica's election tally board, out of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies and into the fleet Galactica led. (Battlestar Galactica, "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II")
A ballot in the fleet#
Survivors of the Twelve Colonies aboard the ship cast their ballots in the vote, which appears on Galactica's master tally board: Laura Roslin against Dr. Gaius Baltar, the election held across the Fleet. Nothing more about the ship is shown. (Battlestar Galactica, "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II")

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
Secretary of Education until the Cylon attack killed everyone above her. Sworn in as President, she became the dying leader of Colonial prophecy.
Twelve Colonies of Kobol
The United Colonies of Kobol, also called the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, was the interplanetary state that represented humanity from the Cylon War until its dissolution upon the settling of the second Earth.
