The '''Flattop type''' is a form of mobile rescue and repair vessel operating in the [[Colonial Auxiliary Fleet]] since the [[First Cylon War]]. During the war, they assisted battlestar groups in firefighting and in recovery and repair of troubled Fleet ships (''[[Blood and Chrome]]'').
A '''flattop''' is a type of salvage and repair ship in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]], acting as a mobile spacedock. A Flattop-type ship is among the first vessels to join the Fleet ([[Miniseries]]). Later a flattop-type is among the ships with ''[[Galactica]]'' when [[New Caprica]] falls ([[Precipice]]).


Over forty years later, they are still in service, and at least two of these ships, ''[[Virgon Express]]'' and ''[[Carina]]'', are able to escape with ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' following the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] ([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]]).  
There are at least two flattop-type ships in the Fleet: the ''[[Carina]]'' (lost during the [[Passage (star cluster)|passage]] through a star cluster) and the ''[[Virgon Express]]''.
