Editing Brig

__NOTOC__ 

[[File:GalacticaInterior Brig1.jpg|thumb|right|''Galactica''{{'|s}} large cell {{TRS|Scattered}}.]]A '''brig''' is a compartment that serves as a detention space aboard a ship. Persons confined to the brig are informally said to be "in hack" {{TRS|Miniseries|The Captain's Hand}}.

== ''Galactica'' Brigs ==
''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' has several brigs. One has at least two small cells with bunks and a desk for the watch officer, who observes prisoners and handles visitors. The other brig has one larger cell with no commodities for high-security prisoners. When in use, a [[Colonial Marine Corps|Marine guard]] stands watch inside the room. In the high-security brig, there are usually around four. 

=== Cylon Brig ===
[[File:GalacticaInterior Brig3.jpg|thumb|right|The cell constructed for Valerii {{TRS|Pegasus (episode)}}.]]After [[Sharon Valerii]] is revealed as a [[Humanoid Cylon|Cylon]], Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] orders the construction of reinforced brig, built for the specific purpose of containing captured humanoid Cylons, who possess strength far greater than a human, for an extended period {{TRS|Resistance (episode)}}. The new Cylon brig is constructed with maximum security in mind; instead of having simple bars, its walls consist of metal grid screens welded tightly together, reinforced by composite plastics and a telephone is used to communicate between the inside and outside of the cell.

After being brought to ''Galactica'', [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Valerii]] is detained within the new Cylon brig. She spends over a year in this cell, but after Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] strikes a friendship with her, he allows her to decorate it almost like real quarters, with tables, chairs, a couch and other amenities {{TRS|Occupation}}.

== ''Pegasus'' Brig ==
[[File:PegasusInterior Brig.jpg|thumb|right|''Pegasus'''s more advanced brig {{TRS|Resurrection Ship, Part II}}.]]

''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' has a more advanced brig than ''Galactica'', with composite plastic walls instead of metal bars, and computer ID recognition cards required for entry {{TRS|Pegasus (episode)|Resurrection Ship|Razor}}.
