The last time we saw her she was a battered and aged warrior drifting over Luna after fulfilling her destiny as the dying leader. Now we see her as she was always meant to be; Caprica's shining Noble warrior, with that new drydock smell.
Since one video with this song was deleted, I'll repost one of the comments here: "Hey, have you seen that pretty lady over there?" "Who, the blonde?" "No, the one with '75' on her hull"
Battlestar Galactica (BS-75) the pride of Caprica and among the first Jupiter Battlestars commissioned in the early days of the First Cylon War (In Deadlock it is the first). The pinnacle of shipbuilding technology and ironically the most outdated in terms of computer systems (By design) the Battlestar is a radical departure from the Mainline Colonial Cruisers that preceded it and was made to fight a seemingly endless conflict between man and it's Machine progeny. Galactica was hastily built to meet the escalating Cylon threat and performed it's duties quite well even as it's contemporaries fell in droves.
"And the Lords anointed a guide for the caravan of the heavens." roughly what the lyrics at the end were, translated previously on a now gone version of this song.
Yeah, it's Raya Yarbrough. As for the language, I'm a solid 60-ish percent certain it's Latin. Here's kinda what she sings: "domini ducat dederun domini ducat caelorum"
She may not be as young as she once was, but Galactica saw her people through the night and led them home. For as many flawed, broken people who walked her halls, she never once faltered; never once shirked her duty, even long after her service was supposed to be done. She was a hero, and she deserved far better than what we did to her when the journey was done. I will never forgive Moore for callously throwing her into the sun when she was no longer needed.
