Adriatic

The Adriatic was a ship that escaped the Fall of the Twelve Colonies within The Fleet. It was destroyed in the weeks following the exodus from New Caprica.
==History==
During the rebellion in the Fleet, Adriatic's crew supported President Laura Roslin and jumped to Kobol. The ship was one of the few armed with ship-to-ship missiles and provided defense for the splinter group. It was almost ordered to shoot down Kara Thrace's Heavy Raider.Battlestar Galactica 2004, episode: "Home, Part II". During the food shortage in the fleet, the ships had to travel through a dense star cluster to get to Algea planet, the only available food source nearby. Adriatic's personnel were transferred to Galactica, and a skeleton crew piloted Adriatic alongside a Raptor crewed by Lt. Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza. The two vessels were separated from each other, and Adriatic was ultimately destroyed.Battlestar Galactica 2004, episode: "The Passage".

|-|Notes=
*Many fans consider the Defender-type warship briefly seen in Exodus, Part Ⅱ represents the Adriatic. If so, this would make the Adriatic a retired warship from the first Cylon war era, possibly converted to civilian usage. If this was the case, then the fleet had two such warships as another is visible in the final season. This could, in theory, explain why the Galactica was prepared to leave the civilian fleet at times, as two warships complete with small viper sorties were present to protect them.
|-|Trivia=
*Comparing all known ships in the Roslins Separatist Fleet with known ship types, the Adriatic is likely either Defender or Astral Queen-type
