Transport 06: the shuttle that carried Adama to Galactica

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.

SCT-type

The SCT-type was a series of standardized Colonial transport ships developed during the First Cylon War. At least three SCT-type vessels survived the Fall of the Twelve Colonies and joined the refugee fleet led by President Roslin.

Colonial Fleet

The Colonial Fleet was the naval arm of the military of the United Colonies of Kobol, founded during the Cylon War to unite the forces of the Twelve Worlds. At its height it numbered some 120 battlestars, yet a single Cylon exploit reduced it to two ships in the opening minutes of the Fall.

Galactica: the last battlestar of the Colonial Service

In the Original Series continuity, the Galactica was a Colonial battlestar that served over five hundred yahrens in the Thousand-Yahren War. After the destruction of the Twelve Colonies of Man at Cimtar, it survived to lead a rag-tag fugitive fleet on the search for Earth.

William Adama

William "Husker" Adama was a Colonial Fleet officer who commanded the battlestar Galactica through the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. His refusal to network the ship spared it from the Cylon attack, and alongside President Laura Roslin he led the survivors of humanity in search of a new home.

Adrasteia

Adrasteia was a civilian ship that escaped the Fall of the Twelve Colonies as part of the ragtag fleet. It carried roughly 765 crew and passengers and survived into deep space about a year after the Fall.
