'''''Columbia''''' is the name of a destroyed Colonial [[Battlestar (TOS)|battlestar]].<br />
<br />
When Cadet [[Cree]] is interrogated by [[Vulpa]], he claims to be from ''Columbia''. Vulpa claims this is impossible, as the ''Columbia'' had been destroyed at the [[Battle of Cimtar|peace conference]]. Vulpa then orders a brain probe rather than try to get him to freely cooperate ([[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
<br />
* ''Columbia'' is perhaps the most unlikely name for a space vessel developed by a wholly "alien" culture, being a derivation of the 15th Century Genoan explorer [[Wikipedia:Christopher Columbus|Christopher Columbus]]. However, much like having the characters speak English, this may be a contrivance. The name may simply derive from the Latin word for "dove" or "pigeon" (''columba'').<br />
<br />
* ''Columbia'' is not named as one of the five battlestars present at the [[Battle of Cimtar]], so it is unknown if Vulpa was just referring to the entire ambush (including the actions against the Colonies) as the "peace conference". <br />
<br />
* Many fans consider ''Columbia'' to be the battlestar class name. However, this is [[fan fiction]]: no substantiated class name has been given to the Original Series battlestars by official sources.<br />
