Columbia (TRS)

Columbia is the name of a Colonial battlestar in the Re-imagined Series.

Columbia, featuring integrated command and control systems and featuring Dr. Gaius Baltar's Command Navigation Program (CNP) is reported as lost, along with the Solaria and Triton.

Commander William Adama mentions the destruction of this battlestar in an update to his crew on the Cylon Attack (Miniseries).

Notes

Columbia is perhaps the most unlikely name for a space vessel developed by a wholly "alien" culture, being a derivation of the 15th Century Genoan explorer Christopher Columbus - which pushes the bounds of coincidence to their breaking point. However, much like having the characters speak English, this may be a contrivance. The name may simply derive from the Latin word for "dove" or "pigeon" (columba).
