	Movies - Ragnar Anchorage

Ragnar Anchorage is a Colonial fleet munitions dump suspended in the upper atmosphere of the gas giant Ragnar in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica
Mini-Series that first aired in December of 2003.

When the Cylons launch their genocidal surprise attack on the Twelve Colonies, the Battlestar Galactica was caught without any munitions for her main and point-defence batteries, having dumped them as part of her decommissioning ceremonies prior to the battle. Colonel Saul Tigh, Executive Officer and second in command, determines that Ragnar Anchorage offers the best opportunity for re-arming the ship, even though it is some 3 days' travel from the Galactica's position at sublight speeds. Commander William Adama decides to perform a Faster-Than-Light jump to the depot, which not only would get them to the needed munitions promptly, but would also avoid the Cylon fleet, which was between their location and the Anchorage. Tigh's choice of the depot may well be based on the sound reasoning that the Anchorage, suspended in the atmosphere of the planet, offers the Galactica the best opportunity to re-arm while reducing the risk of the Cylons finding them and renewing their attack before the ship can defend herself.

While at Ragnar Anchorage, the Galactica obtains enough munitions to completely re-arm her guns, and she also collects a number of Class-D warheads. Her crew also encounter Leoben Conoy, posing as an arms trader, who eventually gives the Colonials their first real insight into the synthetic, near-perfect biological Cylon replicas of humans.

While at Ragnar, the Galactica is joined by the fleet of survivors gathered by new Twelve Colonies President Laura Roslin. When they arrive, Adama is persuaded to alter his original plan to bring the Galactica into the fight against the Cylons into one of flight, protecting the fleet as they make a jump from Ragnar, heading for the Promar Sector, well beyond the "Red Line", or point of unexplored territory associated with long-range FTL jumps.
