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 the last ship escorted through a treacherous star cluster, a passage after which the pilot Louanne "Kat" Katraine lost her life. (Battlestar Galactica, "The Passage")
The passage through the cluster#
The Faru Sadin appeared on the fleet's tally board with 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 in the last group of civilian ships escorted by Galactica's Raptors through a dense, radiation-heavy star cluster on the way to the algae planet. (Battlestar Galactica, "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II"; Battlestar Galactica, "The Passage")
The crossing was lethal to the pilots flying escort. Lieutenant Louanne "Kat" Katraine, already carrying a dangerous dose of radiation after searching for another lost ship, went back out, found the Faru Sadin and brought her safely back to the fleet. Kat later died of radiation poisoning. (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.
Exodus from New Caprica
The Exodus from New Caprica was a combined ground, air, and space engagement in which the Colonial Fleet and the New Caprica Resistance broke the Cylon occupation of the colony and evacuated its settlers back into the fleet.
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.
Raptor: the Fleet's workhorse
A sublight shuttle at the start of the First Cylon War, rebuilt over the interwar years into an FTL craft flying transport, recon and rescue.
