'''Colonial Movers''' is a company that operates four container ships that survived the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] ([[Miniseries]]).

One of the Colonial Movers ships is used as a decoy during the [[Battle for the Tylium Asteroid|attack on a Cylon mining outpost]]. Although appearing to be a helpless mining ship, it is in fact carrying Captain [[Lee Adama]]'s strike force of [[Viper (RDM)|Vipers]] hidden in one of its cargo containers ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).

At least one of the Colonial Movers jumps with the [[Laura Roslin faction]] to [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] when the Fleet splits in two ([[The Farm]]).

One of the Colonial Movers ships is destroyed by the nuclear explosion on ''[[Cloud 9]]'' ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). At least two of them landed on [[New Caprica]] ([[Precipice]]) and would later escape back to the Fleet ([[Exodus, Part II]]) while another remained with the ''Galactica'' in orbit.

The remaining Colonial Movers ships remain in the Fleet until they lose power in the [[Ionian nebula]] ([[Crossroads, Part II]]). The ships would survive the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]] and would arrive at [[Earth]] ("[[He That Believeth In Me]]", "[[Revelations]]"). When the fleet arrived at their new home, the remaining ''Colonial Movers'' were guided by [[Samuel T. Anders|Anders]] into the sun. ([[Daybreak, Part II]])

==Notes==
* The Colonial Movers name and slogan (We Move Anywhere) are visible on the ship model.
* At least two Colonial Movers ships appear in the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] as well, with a similar design and the same slogan. They can be seen prominently during "[[Saga of a Star World]]", when the ships are first escaping the Colonies. They do not figure prominently in any TOS story line, however.
*Plastic model enthusiasts may recognize the front of the ship as an element of the heat shield of the second stage engines of a [[Wikipedia:Saturn V|Saturn V]] moon rocket model.
