The Delphian Consolis - the name given to her by the colonies, was the fastest ship ever to be built by any species known to mankind. She had the unique capability of travelling at light speed indefinitely to evade Cylon capture. Although the Delphian race were forbidden by their ancient laws to wage war, they were adept at evading capture and avoided conflict at all costs, their ships having many defensive capabilities. This ship was a de-facto blockade runner, used to transport its crew at great speed to search for new hospitable planets and to ensure the survival of at least a few Delphians. This particular vessel was sent by Queen Anastasia to help her human allies, the colonials in their quest to find Earth.
