Design#
The Gemenon Traveler was an SCT-type vessel, a bulk cargo transport measuring roughly sixty-two meters in length. She was driven by three sublight engines with maneuvering thrusters and carried a faster-than-light drive, with an ordinary complement of about 384 crew and passengers.
The Leoben Conoy incident#
The Cylon infiltrator Leoben Conoy, a Number Two model, was discovered hiding aboard the Gemenon Traveler after she joined the Fleet. Lieutenant Kara "Starbuck" Thrace was assigned to interrogate him. After the interrogation, Conoy was ejected into space from the Gemenon Traveler's airlock on the order of President Laura Roslin. The ship itself survived the long flight from the Colonies, recorded in deep space about a year after the Fall.
