'''''Prometheus''''' is a freighter in the [[the Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] rumored to be so rife with illicit activity, it is "off the grid". It serves as the base of operations for the ex-mercenary [[Phelan]] and is the main trading hub for the Fleet's [[black market (organization)|black market]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Black Market]]"). A closeup of the hull reveals ''Prometheus'' flies the flag of [[Scorpia]]. <ref>[http://www.meshweaver.com/portfolio/Battlestar_Galactica_Modelling.htm Battlestar Galactica Modelling]</ref>

During refueling operations over a gas giant, a valve failure requires a restart of the [[List of terms (RDM)#Military Jargon|unrep]] maneuver with ''Galactica'' ([[TRS]]: "[[Maelstrom]]").

She is captained by [[Doyle Franks]], who is selected as one of five judges at [[Gaius Baltar]]'s trial ([[TRS]]: "[[Crossroads, Part I]]")<ref>The [[:Image:PatchPrometheus.jpg|patch]] on her dress uniform establishes her as a crewmember of ''Prometheus''.</ref>. After the trial, ''Prometheus'' jumps into the [[Ionian nebula]] and loses power before a [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] attack on the Fleet ([[TRS]]: "[[Crossroads, Part II]]").

== Notes ==
*The freighter is named from the [[Lords of Kobol (RDM)|Lord of Kobol]] [[Prometheus]]. The deity Prometheus is noted for taking fire from the Gods and giving it to the humans against [[Zeus]]'s wishes. Given [[Tom Zarek]]'s continual referencing of Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] as Zeus, and the fact that ''Prometheus'' is the hub of the [[black market (organization)|black market]], an organization which seeks to redistribute goods from the military to the civilians, the parallel is very apparent.
