This is a list of locations on Earth that are visited by the Warriors in Galactica 1980.

Germany[edit]

Peenemünde[edit]

Peenemünde is the location of a weapons research and test facility where Xaviar works on adapting Colonial technology to the Germans' V-2 rockets.

With Major Stockwell, Troy, Dillon and Jamie Hamilton manage to thwart the Nazis' V-2 program and Xaviar's attempt to help the Germans win World War II (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II).

For more information, see: Peenemünde at Wikipedia.

Smite's Buchhandlung[edit]

Smite's Buchhandlung is a bookstore owned by Major Stockwell's contact. Major Stockwell's initial passphrase makes a reference to a book, although this turns out to be a false password as an attempt by Stockwell to indicate that he was under duress (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II).

United States of America[edit]

Home Furnishings[edit]

Dillon crashes Dr. Mortinson's car into the building (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II).

Dillon crashes into his building to end a hopeless car case caused by the United Broadcasting Company's Mr. Brooks. After crashing Donald Mortinson's car into the store front of this building, Troy, Dillon and Jamie Hamilton make good on their escape using the invisibility field (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II).

Maggies Truck Heaven[edit]

The front of Maggies Truck Heaven.

After thwarting Xaviar in 1944, Troy and Dillon drop off Hamilton at this diner, which doesn't accept personal checks. It is here that they damage a jukebox with their laser pistols and discover that they are all wanted fugitives (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III).

Mortinson's House[edit]

Dr. Donald Mortinson's house on a cliff.

After meeting Xaviar at the United Broadcasting Company's main building, Mortinson brings Xaviar back to his house, residing on a cliff overlooking a California beach. The house has a study with a book on history, which Xaviar takes in order to further his plans of advancing Earth's technology (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III).

Oak's Garage[edit]

The trio first meet outside this garage (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I).

Troy and Dillon meet Jamie Hamilton outside this garage and gas station, where they manage to convince her to give them a ride to the Pacific Institute of Technology. Hamilton does so, clearly impressed that they are going to meet the reclusive Dr. Donald Mortinson (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I).

Police Station[edit]

After being captured by a security guard at the Pacific Institute of Technology, Troy and Dillon are brought to a police station, where they are booked by Sergeant James and fellow officer Dobin. However, they make good on their escape from the holding pen, using their handy invisibility field (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I).

At day's end, Dr. Donald Mortinson fulfills his agreement to meet Jamie Hamilton in front of the police station, where the two Warriors appear and introduce themselves to Mortinson. They leave the front of this station in a vain attempt to talk to Mortinson quietly (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II).

United California Bank[edit]

The bank that Dillon inadvertently robs from.

Across from a department store, Dillon attempts to exchange gold (auric) cubits for United States currency. However, this goes awry after a bank teller assumes the worst, believing coins that Dillon gives her are stolen. The situation here spirals out of control after Dillon stuns Harry, a nearby bank guard, and she gives him both the cubits and thousands of U.S. dollars -- believing that he's robbing the bank. Despite attempts to give the money back, which end up only scaring the teller further, Dillon flees the bank and heads back to the nearby department store (The Super Scouts, Part I).

It is money from this back that appears to pay their way in the United States, as Dillon and Troy later let a mugger in New York City's Central Park know about this fact (The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II).

Van Nuys A.N.G. Base[edit]

Xaviar's Viper flies over the A.N.G. Base.

Troy, Dillion, and Xaviar's Vipers are taken to the Van Nuys Air National Guard Base after Willy Griffin runs across them again. After finding out their location, the Warriors and Hamilton go to the base; Hamilton distracts the guards while the Warriors sneak in capture Xaviar (who's already infiltrated the base, disguised as an airman). Troy is unsuccessful in stopping Xaviar, who manages to recharge the Viper's energizers and lifts off (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III).
