Construction History
IWS Phoenix was 1st commissioned for construction on January 15, 2038, on Aquarian Fleet Shipyards within Sol System on New Aquarius within orbit over Jupiter. The ship was the 1st Stage of the Colonial Heritage Project which was a massive project in which the Empire would try to explore and find its celestial Roots and for the possible recolonization of the Colonials home galaxy.

After the 3rd Cylon Fleet was awakened, it was quickly refitted to maximize its combat capability.

The refit Phoenix served as the basis for the followup NovaStar Betelgeuse

Live Video Example
The following is a series Videos of the Phoenix along with many other ships in the Athena fleet running Weapons and ships/fighter formation training drills. The films were originally made as a training tool for many other Long Range Imperial ships that were to follow the fleet in to the Cyrnus Galaxy. (However it must be noted that this series of films was created BEFORE the reawakening of the 3rd Cylon Fleet.)
