Battlestar Athena History[]

The Battlestar Athena has had a very troubled past. On her shakedown cruise she was having her weapons tested when a cascade failure ran through the systems, overloading them and killing several officers. The ship was forced into a three-year long repair and refit cycle, during which time she also had various systems upgraded.

The three years finally over, her commanding officer returned to take command of the ship, and pulled her crew back together for the first mission of an already three-year-old ship. The mission was a success, and the pirates that once called the Origin Asteroid Belt home were either killed or taken prisoner, but the victory came at a high price - long-time friend of the Commander; Captain John Jerrick, at the time CAG of the Athena, was killed in action.

Now, one year later, there have been many changes on the Battlestar. Commander Krace was promoted to Rear Admiral, and placed in command of a Task Force in Omega Group, Major Kommado was reassigned, once again, to JAG duties, and many new officers came and went from the ship. Once again, however, their might will be put to the test, as the Cylon Holocaust begins.
