| The '''''Official Battlestar Galactica Magazine''''' was, as the name implies, an official publication dedicated to the [[RDM|Re-imagined Series]]. The magazine was published by [http://www.titanmagazines.com Titan Magazines], who have also published official magazines for other TV series such as [[w:Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)|''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'']] and [[w:Alias (TV series)|''Alias'']]. The magazine featured news direct from the production offices, interviews with the cast and crew, and on-set reports that take the reader behind-the-scenes of the series. ''The Official Battlestar Galactica Magazine'' was promoted as "the first and last word for all Battlestar fans".
