	* The writer, [[Robert Napton]], has written for both [[Maximum Press] and [[Realm Press]], and brings his knowledge of the [[Original Series]] into play when developing the backstory. While Baltar's backstory is fairly typical and straight forward, the twist of his (forced upon) converted nature at the end is a bit jarring, deliberately so in order to open up the possibility for future stories. The conversion by the Cylons also addresses the glaring contradiction between the two aired versions of Baltar's "execution": one where he was indeed beheaded in the theatrical release, and the series "retcon" where Baltar is to be spared for later public execution in [[Saga of a Star World\|the televised pilot]].		* The writer, [[Robert Napton]], has written [[Original Series]] comics for both [[Maximum Press]] and [[Realm Press]], and brings his knowledge of the Original Series into play when developing the backstory.
