Ariadne was a Galactican from the planet Attila. She was one of the few survivors of a Cylon attack which forced those remaining to take up guerrilla tactics. Due to her age, she was expected to study during the night when guerrilla operations ceased.[1]
Biography[]
Ariadne grew up on a Attila, a remote Galactican colony in the Omega Sector which was isolated during the Thousand Yahren War and had regressed to a pre-industrial state of development. Around the time of the Battle of Cimtar, Attila was found by Cylon forces and a landing force led by Specter began massacring the population. Ariadne survived with his father Megan and her siblings Miri, Kyle, Robus and Nilz, and the family began a guerrilla campaign against the Centurions, using the afforested and marshy environment to their advantage, while also destroying fuel and ammunition storehouses. Megan himself would be captured, leaving Kyle in charge, but he would himself surrender control to Lieutenant Starbuck, a Colonial warrior who had crash-landed on the planet.
Fighting under Starbuck, guerrilla tactics shifted to a more ambitious assault on the Cylon fortress, which left the Centurions in a disorganised state as each member attacked a different target. Ariadne's role in this attack was to set up a slingshot and propel grenades to destroy a bridge. The Cylons began evacuating their fortress, allowing the children to capture it. With Megan recovered, the family chose to remain on Attila, turning down the Colonials' offer of evacuation.[1]
