OTHER SHIPS & SPACE
STATIONS
THE STARLINER
A prominent civilian ship in the 2003+
Battlestar Galactica was the transport starliner that carried Secretary of Education, Laura Roslin, who
would become
the new Colonial President. This design appears to be based on one
submitted to the DeSanto/Singer revival attempt.
Combining elements of a small luxury liner and a modern airliner, the starliner
boasted a color scheme lifted directly from the U.S. Presidential aircraft "Air
Force One" and was immediately dubbed "Colonial One" upon Roslin's ascension to
the Colonial Presidency.
Below its passenger deck, the starliner had
a number of cargo bays that were large enough to contain several small
spacecraft and additional equipment.
ARMISTICE STATION
The miniseries opened with a space station
floating along the border of Colonial space.
This simplistic station was constructed as an annual meeting place between a
Colonial representative and a Cylon emissary to maintain the 40-year-old
cease-fire. A core element
of the station was an arm docking tunnel that extended from the top of the
facility.
This station was only seen once, as
it was destroyed in the opening sequence of the miniseries.
INTERSUN LINER
A passenger ship, the outer ring rotates slowly as the
ship flies through space.
CELESTRA
The Celestra was the electronics ship in the
original Battlestar Galactica's rag-tag fleet. It was re-created
for the 2003 miniseries as a part of that fleet.
FOUNDRY SHIP
A slightly reworked version of the original "foundry ship" was
also created for the miniseries fleet.
