{{Ship Data
| image= GeminiFreighter.jpg
| title= Gemini
| race= Colonial
| type= Civilian
| role= Freighter
}}
The ''Gemini'' appears in the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] as the ship where [[Cassiopeia]] is rescued in. Refugees are primarily from [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)#Gemoni|Gemoni]] and are living in the ship's freight containers. The freighter is one of several ships suspected of having a solium leak, which led to the discovery of [[Cassiopeia]] and the fact that Sire [[Uri]] was greedily hoarding supplies onboard the ''[[Rising Star]]''. It would later travel to [[Carillon]] and remain in orbit over the planet until Carillon's [[Battle of Carillon|destruction]] ([[Saga of a Star World]]).

[[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] is forced to pay a visit to the ''Gemini'' in order to attempt to woo Siress [[Belloby]] in exchange for an [[energizer]] she owns that he hopes to trade for [[agro]] supplies ([[The Magnificent Warriors]]).

Count [[Iblis]] plays the part of demagogue aboard the ''Gemini'', promising food to the hungry masses in exchange for their support. After securing their allegiance word comes in that the [[Agro Ship]] was seeing a miraculous crop appear ([[War of the Gods, Part I]]).

== ''Galactica 1980'' ==

The freighter ''Gemini'' survives the journey to [[Earth (1980)|Earth]]. As news spread of their discover, [[Dillon]] walks through the ship, greeting survivors and telling them "we've made it" en route to [[Troy (1980)|Troy]]'s quarters.<ref>In the opening scenes where [[Adama (1980)|Adama]] does a voiceover telling them of children born in deep space and how [[Doctor Zee]] is a "cerebral mutation", Dillon is seen walking through the makeshift habitations from storage crates in the set previously used to depict the ''Gemini'' in "[[Saga of a Star World]]" and "[[War of the Gods, Part I]]" of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]].</ref>

Apparently, Troy lives aboard this ship, as he is packing his personal effects, including a picture of him with his parents, [[Serina]] and [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]].

== Notes ==

* An identical freighter, with the same markings (including the name ''Gemini'' on the hull) is shown in the ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' episode "[[The Super Scouts, Part I]]". It is referred to as ''[[Delphi (ship)|Delphi]]'', but this is clearly stock footage from "[[Saga of a Star World]]".
* This freighter appears in the [[Galactica 1980 4|fourth issue of the re-imagined ''Galactica 1980'']] comic book series released by [[Dynamite Entertainment]]. ''Gemini'' is referred to as a [[planetary expeditionary vehicle]] (PEV) carrier.
