Scorpion Fleet Shipyards
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
The Scorpion Fleet Shipyards were Fleet dockyards located in orbit around Scorpia.
At the time of the Cylon attack, Pegasus, at least three more battlestars, and three other Colonial Fleet ships are docked there. A Cylon nuclear attack destroys the yards and all ships but Pegasus, which escapes via a blind jump, after approximately 700 of her crew are killed in the attack (Razor).
Notes
- Although the planet is called Scorpia ("Colonial Day", "Razor"), the location subtitles in "Razor" identify the shipyard's name as "Scorpion Fleet Shipyards". It is possible that the installation was given the colony's ancient name.
- At least two battlestars of Valkyrie's design are destroyed at the shipyard.
- This image of the shipyards and of the planet Scorpia in the background is the first time that viewers have seen any other Colonial planet aside from Caprica (Miniseries). Tauron is later shown in the extended DVD cut of "Razor".
