Solaria Project Proposed in 37AC by Admiral Jason Maldine, the former head of Fleet Research and Development, the Solaria like the Valkyrie class was smaller than previous Battlestars for the sole purpose of satisfying the Civilian Government in cutting costs on fleet expenditure. However the Quorum of Twelve and the Finance Ministry felt the Solaria was unnecessary stating that the Valkyrie was more than equipped for any missions that the Solaria was designed to fulfil. The Solaria sat in the fleet archives of proposed but underdeveloped Battlestar designs until Admiral Jenna Koskaris took over the position of Fleet Research and Development
