'''''Rising Star''''' is a medical transport and is the location of the first birth of a Colonial since the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] ([[TRS]]: "[[33]]").

[[Ellen Tigh]] is placed aboard a MEDEVAC Raptor hailing from the vessel by a copy of the Humanoid Cylon known as [[Number One|John Cavil]] shortly before it departs from Picon during the Fall ([[TRS]]: "[[No Exit]]", "[[The Plan]]"). She slips in and out of consciousness aboard the ship for three weeks and is attended to (and cryptically mocked by) Cavil before [[William Adama]] locates her ([[TRS]]: "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]"). She later procures a day-long stay there for her husband and herself, where she apparently meant for him to meet with agents of [[Tom Zarek]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Colonial Day]]").

''[[Galactica]]'s'' chief medical officer, Dr. [[Sherman Cottle]], is aboard the ''Rising Star'' at the time of the attempted assassination of Commander [[William Adama]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Scattered]]").

The ship's name is notably absent on the [[:Image:Tally chalkboard.jpg|voting tally board]] on ''Galactica'' and the voting tally whiteboard on ''[[Colonial One]]'' ([[TRS]]: "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]").

''Rising Star'' survives the exodus from [[New Caprica]], passage through the [[star cluster]] to the [[algae planet]] and the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]] before it would be flown into [[Sol]] after the discovery of [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Exodus, Part II]]", "[[The Passage]]", "[[He That Believeth in Me]]", "[[Daybreak, Part II]]").

== Notes ==
* Though mention throughout Season 1 and in "[[Scattered]]", it was first physically seen in "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]" flying just beyond the ''[[Pegasus]]'' and ''[[Galactica]]'' in the first shot of the fleet after [[Helena Cain|Admiral Cain]]'s arrival. It would be seen up close first hand in Season 4's "[[Escape Velocity]]" and identified as the ''Rising Star'' in the tele-movie "[[The Plan]]".
* Another vessel of the same design appears in "[[Razor]]" as part of the civilian fleet ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' encounters.
* Both designs are inspired by the design of ''[[Rising Star (TOS)|Rising Star]]'' from the [[Original Series]].
