'''''Gideon''''' is a heavy hauler transport vessel within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]], captained by [[Elias Meeker]] ([[TRS]]: "[[The Son Also Rises]]"). <br />
<br />
Circa Day 53, it is the site of an internal struggle following the forced removal of President [[Laura Roslin]] by Commander [[William Adama]]. The crew refuses to resupply ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' in protest, and is boarded by a marine team as a result, taking the needed supplies by whatever means necessary. The situation degrades, and as the crowd becomes more harassing, the marines open fire, killing four civilians. The incident, named the "[[Gideon massacre|''Gideon'' Massacre]]" by reporter [[D'Anna Biers]], would have severe repercussions on the fleet in the coming days, as the civilians fight to have Roslin reinstated ([[TRS]]: "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]"). <br />
<br />
The commanding officer of ''Gideon'' would later be selected as a juror in the trial of Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] after he is jailed after rejoining the fleet following the escape from [[New Caprica]] ([[TRS]]: "[[The Son Also Rises]]"). Following the trial, it loses power after jumping to the [[Ionian Nebula]], where it survives a Cylon attack against the struck fleet ([[TRS]]: "[[He That Believeth In Me]]"). It is presumed that Meeker joins the newly formed [[Quorum of Ships' Captains]], following the assassinations of the previous delegates during [[Gaeta's Mutiny]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Blood on the Scales]]"). <br />
