History of the Ship: Forced out their own universe the Cylons used a new tactic when the nukes, Baystars and other efforts failed to take down the antiquated but resilient Battlestar, its heavy ablative armour and system redundancy designed to withstand nuclear attack and hit back. Its systems being so old they could not be hacked and disabled like her modern sisters.
The new weapon lured the Battestar into an area of space laced with rare elements and executed an ambush from inside the remains of a fleet of civilian vessels they had destroyed prior, luring them in using the distress calls. The moment they made to jump out and escape the trap the second trap activated sending their jump drive at the moment of firing out of control. They assumed the event tore the ship apart but something guided them to a new fate, forcing the crew to face a new apocalypse as they had narrowly outran the first and second Cylon Wars.
Joining the Expedition they had no choice, the new world was facing grave peril and their home was already destroyed, They had to fight for the one they found themselves in. Her crew is battered, bruised but proud and the ship has not let them down yet, so they will not fail her.
The Battestar is determined to redeem and earn its honour back after the 2nd Cylon Wars. They may die but its better than dieing waiting for the enemy to come for them.
Her hull bears still it's battered and burned red markings proudly, it's hull plates are burned, battered and dented but solid. It might look an a little care worn outaide and in its corridors but it's systems function well.
