The Fleet (TOS)

After the destruction of the Twelve Colonies in a devastating genocidal attack on the Colonial worlds, Commander orders all survivors to find what operational ships that remain on their shattered worlds and fly them towards battlestar , the sole surviving battlestar after her sister warships are also destroyed in the two-prong Cylon attack. With nowhere else to call home, Adama decrees that the remnants of humanity will search for the Thirteenth Tribe on a planet called Earth.
Under the guardianship of Galactica, the Fleet comprises of 220 civilian ships. With the exception of Galactica, the ships are not capable of lightspeed flight. The Fleet's overall speed is limited to that of the slowest ship within the group. As all ships in the Fleet were filled to (or over) capacity, removing the slower ships from the caravan is not an option.

The Fleet is also comprised of shuttles and Colonial s, which are likely not indicated in the "220 ship" figure given in "Saga of a Star World". It is indicated that there are non-military shuttles that ferry people and, possibly, supplies throughout the Fleet. One such craft is the shuttle Canaris , in addition to the shuttle piloted by Aurora of the Celestra .
In addition to their ship compliment, the Colonials have at least one Cylon Raider in their possession, as a result of their victory at Galaxy's Edge .
== Notes ==
*In the scripts for "Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I" and "The Man with Nine Lives," two ships are mentioned in scenes that were either cut or never filmed.
:*The Yarborough, a freighter that sent a distress signal to Galactica in the magnetic void in a continuation of the scene on the bridge as the fleet entered in "Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II".
:*The Crucible, Siress Blassie's billet ship where the residents were largely over the age of sixty yahrens and likely corresponds to the "Senior Ship" mentioned onscreen in "The Man with Nine Lives".
