The Faru Sadin was a civilian vessel that escaped the Fall of the Twelve Colonies and survived the Exodus from New Caprica. She is remembered as one of the last ships escorted through a treacherous star cluster, a passage during which the Viper pilot Louanne "Kat" Katraine lost her life.
The passage through the cluster#
The Faru Sadin carried a complement of roughly 678 crew and passengers and was one of the vessels that survived both the Fall of the Twelve Colonies and the Exodus from New Caprica. She was among the last batch of civilian ships being escorted by Galactica's Raptor squadrons through a dense star cluster on the way to the algae planet.
The crossing was lethal to the pilots flying escort. Lieutenant Louanne "Kat" Katraine lost her life to radiation exposure while seeing the Faru Sadin safely through the passage. The ship itself endured the long flight and was recorded in deep space some three years after the Fall.
