GAL 356

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide

GAL 356 is a dependable Galactica shuttle in the Fleet in both the Original Series and Galactica 1980.

It can be seen in almost every episode. In fact it's such a popular ship that even Commander Cain had one just like it, which he travels on when Pegasus encounters Galactica!

Notes

• The constant occurrence of this shuttle is a regrettable result of reuse of special effects footage throughout the Original Series and its negatively-viewed direct successor. This happened due to the high cost of special effects in terms of time and money, particularly at the time both series were produced.
