Battlestar Phoenix

DIMENSION 28
Battlestar Phoenix is a Mercury class Battlestar and the flagship of Battlestar Group 11. It is an extremely well-balanced craft, with eight missile silos as well as a large amount of heavy guns. It is under the command of Commander David Connors, but is under general control of Admiral Adrianne Cayne, the senior officer of BSG 11. It survived the Engagement on the Armistice Line and is now part of the surviving Colonial Fleet.

It was commissioned 9 years before the Fall, and was finished in 1, making it a very young ship. It, like the rest of BSG 11, managed to dodge the effects of the CNP backdoor thanks to her technicians. It was once under the command of Admiral Nagala, where it underwent a massive reshuffle in crew. He left after a period of two months to command the Nagala, and Commander David Connors took command and has kept command since. It was also swapped between ports before the Fall, going from the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards, to the Picon Fleet Shipyards, and then finally to the Taurus Fleet Shipyards.

After the Engagement on the Armistice Line, the Phoenix, along with her sister ships, retreated to the colonies to find them a nuked wreck. They began to look for survivors around the Twelve Colonies. They found Battlestars Imperial and Colonist, Gunstars Bombardier and Survivor, Aircraft Carrier Hawk     and 104,986 civilian survivors, further adding to the total of 32,015 military survivors. Somewhere between one day and nine days after the fall, the fleet came under attack from four basestars, all of which were destroyed at the cost of around 7,000 lives and the Battlestar Colonist.

The fleet is currently on the run from the cylons.
