The Battlestar Prometheus was the first of the new Nova Class Battlestars (the most advanced warships ever created by Humanity) to be commissioned into the Colonial Fleet. The Prometheus was a historic ship, undertaking a number of historical accomplishments in her service including: the location of habitable worlds right for colonisation, the re-discovery of Kobol, first contact with another state (one which included aliens in the population) and eventually finding Earth. The Prometheus would become one of the few colonial ships to survive the fall of the colonies and would ultimately fulfil the same role as her original namesake, flagship of the Colonial Fleet.
