A ship of the Fleet#

The freighter is best known as the home vessel of Louanne Katraine, the nugget pilot called Kat. She lived aboard Freighter 212 before she joined the Galactica Combat Air Group, leaving the civilian ship behind to fly with the battlestar's Vipers.

Followed from this entry
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.
Cylon
The Cylons were a race of sentient machines created as military robots by Graystone Industries on Caprica. Built from research into artificial consciousness, they rebelled against their human masters, fought a long war, and forty years later returned to annihilate humanity.
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.
