The Celestra is an extended-duration research ship. The only time the Celestra is seen is in the episode "Water". Part of it is visible to the left of Colonial One in the shot before Roslin speaks to Lee Adama. An older escort ship of the Colonial Navy, Electronics Ships like the Celestra were used to service warships, repair computer equipment as well as operate as electronic warfare ships, capable of jamming enemy scanner equipment. Some variants of the Electronics Ship were capable of being fitted with missiles on their telview extensions but, more often that not, these extensions were loaded with jamming equipment. This ship was also used in the original Battlestar Galactica series. This is the CGI model by ZOIC.
