The Unknown Ship was an unidentified civilian vessel that escaped the Fall of the Twelve Colonies as part of a civilian fleet later encountered by the Battlestar Pegasus. Like the other ships in that fleet, it was likely stripped of all valuable equipment and personnel, leaving it stranded in deep space.
History#
The Unknown Ship was one of several civilian vessels that escaped the Fall of the Twelve Colonies together as a civilian fleet. That fleet was later encountered by the Battlestar Pegasus during its own flight from the destruction of the Colonies. As with the other ships found drifting alongside it, the vessel was likely stripped of all valuable equipment and personnel, after which it was left stranded in deep space.
Specifications#
The Unknown Ship measured approximately 102.1 meters in length, 57.1 meters in width, and 30.8 meters in height. It was driven by three sublight engines and fitted with maneuvering thrusters.
