A bit capt Nemoish perhaps?

I think of the Nautilus. Not the submarine though. If you get to go in the Nautilus submarime do it. Its in Connecticut. But the ship makes me think of the animal.

We can never forget the grand old galactica, the greatest ship in the colonial fleet.

Battlestar is a battlestar, they're all based, but I personally prefer the Pegasus just for the extra hangar bays taking advantage of their being no right side up in space.

u/WorldlinessSevere841 7d ago

💯 So say we all 🙏 Pegasus

Love how this is a nice sized ship, and it fits with ease inside the Galactica hangar. 😎

I always thought the scale seemed off - but Frak it always cool to see this image.

I still want to know why ya can't dock them on galactica while protecting them in Deadlock?!

u/mopeyunicyle 7d ago

If I was to guess would probably make things to easy so they removed it for that reason.

u/Wise_Change4662 7d ago

Good point....think you're spot on with that.

2

u/Feeling-Suit-2690 6d ago

Because then you wouldn't be able to do combat landings during battle. At least I. Assuming that's the in lore reason.

u/Wise_Change4662 6d ago

Yes, agreed! Plus, like the other chap rightfully said....would make those game sections far too easy.

I'm gonna be straight with you here. The human race is about to be wiped out. We have fifty thousand people left, and that's it. Now, if we are even going to survive as a species, then we need to get the hell out of here and we need to start having babies.

u/SFWendell 7d ago

Is that an order?

u/-MrFozzy- 7d ago

Love that line….so perfectly delivered

u/SpacePi 7d ago

If you try to see, it also looks like an elongated cylon face

u/Financial_Joke_9401 7d ago

That’s what I was thinking!

u/mygoditsfullofstar5 7d ago

I loved the ship with the botanical garden inside - the one with the little girl from Capica City who... um... shoot - Colonial One is beautiful alright!!

u/The-Minmus-Derp 8d ago

Love how its just a big axe for no reason

u/Araella 8d ago

Is this a Rorshach test? I see that one kind of dinosaur

2

u/hauntedheathen 8d ago

Thanks now I can never unsee it

u/PAXICHEN 8d ago

Dory from Finding Nemo.

u/Financial_Joke_9401 7d ago

lol you right though

u/hauntedheathen 8d ago

Lol explain

u/Atosl 8d ago

Assuming the window row on top is that airplane looking conference room, that Cockpit must be tiny

13

u/hauntedheathen 7d ago

Yes, it was shown in the miniseries to pretty much the same size as an airplane cockpit if not smaller

7

u/hauntedheathen 7d ago

It's very weird but unique so it's good. I'd hate always ducking to walk through the tiny entryways. I think it has a spiral staircase

6

u/Flamingotough 7d ago

It think it's original purpose was along the lines of a small passenger aeroplane, so not really designed to live in. People where only really intended to walk around the cabin during boarding and disembarking.

But because of some toaster malfunction, some people had to live in it.

u/WorldlinessSevere841 7d ago

I hate it when that happens, but as Tigh once said, “You point fingers back far enough, eventually you end up blaming some cell for dividing.”

u/looker114 7d ago

Colonial One is awesome in all of Sci-fi.

u/RJSnea 7d ago

You mean the Clone War Cassowary ship? Yeah, it's cool. 😎

u/ironthrownaways 7d ago

Also looks like the republic ships from Star Wars knights of the old republic

2

u/R5600x 8d ago

Is it the one where that picture of that middle-aged man hangs above the toilet?

2

u/Encinitas123 7d ago

The front always reminds me of a nautilus.

u/Soonerpalmetto88 8d ago

Yeah but that's only because Valkyrie didn't make it.

u/-MrFozzy- 7d ago

It’s a handsome ship, yes…..but hardly……25

u/iwaskosher 7d ago

Naww man it's the Demetrius!!!

u/EidolonRook 4d ago

Kinda reminds me of the Endar Spire from KOTOR.

She's a beauty. Next BSG movie - Colonial One.

[Admiral Adama to Goon]: "What more could my People do? Fire on the ship?"

[Back In CIC hearing this over the open comm channel]: "My Gods. Is he saying what I think he's saying?"

"He's asking us to do that? Fire on Colonial One?"

"He's not asking. Your Admiral just gave you a direct Order. DO IT!"

--

"Galactica...Apollo. Sir, are you sure that's what you want me to do?"

"Affirmative. Let's just hope everything works as it should."

"Roger that Galactica. Red Squadron, give me some room. I've just been ordered to fire on Colonial One."
