Beta company is a group from battlestar Galactica sent out to conduct a Fleet-wide supply and damage survey.

This is a listing of sectors that are noted in the Original Series.
Beta sector is the location of a nearby habitable star system at the time of the Celestra mutiny. Mutineers from Celestra originally plan to escape from the Colonial Fleet to the 21st planet of this system (TOS: "Take the Celestra").
Delta sector is the location from where the last wave of Cylon warships approached the Colonial Fleet during refueling operations near the planet Gamoray (TOS: "The Living Legend, Part II").
Hatari sector is the location of Equellus, planet where Apollo crash-lands and later handles a lone Centurion who, commanded by Lacerta, terrorized a town (TOS: "The Lost Warrior").
Omega sector is a region outside the Cyrannus galaxy containing the Delta-class planet Attila, as well as two other planets.
Previously controlled by human descendants from the Twelve Colonies, the Cylons inevitably took forceful possession of the sector and its planets (TOS: "The Young Lords").
Ontarus sector is the location of Opelon (TOS: "I Have Seen Earth").
Sector Delta 5, adjacent to the Tau Quadrant, is the location of the Otarsis Quadrant asteroid (TOS: "Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I").

The Beta Triangle is known to the Colonials as an "Extreme Hazard to Shipping" for both the fact that its apex is that of a black hole and its known "infestation" of pirates who prey on wrecked ships for salvage and other goods.
Galactica and her Fleet encounter barrier waves from the Triangle, resulting in damage to a Gemini freighter. The Triangle is also monitored by Cylon sentinel buoys (The Beta Pirates).

| Part of the series on Battlestar Galactica Terminology
| |
Like the show, the comics or novels based on the Original Series, and its spinoff, Galactica 1980, use different terminology in order to make the universe visceral to the reader. This array of terminology, used by both the Colonials and Cylons, consists of military jargon, colloquialisms, sayings, and technical terms.
This page does not serve to regurgitate or repeat terminologies used in both series, but terms that only appear in both the comics and novels. Each section is separated by publisher (Berkley, Marvel, Realm Press, et al.), in order to make the continuities clear.

Fifteen Beta Three is an antebellum Centurion responsible for leading the Caprican Cylon Brigade during the Third Colonial Conflict.
From Three, William Adama learns that the Brigade was abandoned by their human Caprican military commander more than 50 years ago. Seeing as the Cylons only have antebellum Raiders and no basestar—due to its destruction by Adama's tactical nuclear device (Battlestar Galactica 3)—he leads them back to the Fleet, even knowing that Three and his ilk may eventually turn on their creators like their brethren had nearly five decades ago (Battlestar Galactica 4).For direct navigation sans the tabbed navigational aid above, please select one of the following article links:
