| [[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}}.
| | Brig is a US military term with one of two uses: |
|
| |
|
| == ''Galactica'' Brigs ==
| | # A jail or prison on board a U.S. Navy or Coast Guard vessel. |
| ''{{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.
| | # A jail or guardhouse, especially on the premises of a U.S. military installation. |

|
| === Cylon Brig ===
| | ''[[Galactica]]'' seems to have originally possessed two brigs. One has at least two small cells with bunks. The other brig has one larger cell with no commodities for high-security prisoners. In the episodes in which the brigs have made appearances, there is usually a [[Colonial Marine Corps|Marine guard]] standing watch inside the room. In the high-security brig, there are usually around four. |
| [[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}}. | | After [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|''Galactica''-Valerii]] was revealed as a Cylon, Colonel Tigh ordered a third custom-made super-reinforced brig constructed. It was built for the specific purpose of containing captured [[Cylon agent]]s, who possess strength far greater than a human's, for an extended period ([[Resistance]]). The new brig was constructed with maximum security in mind; instead of having simple bars, its walls consist of metal grid screens welded tightly together, reinforced by plexiglass (a telephone is used to communicate between the inside and outside of the cell). After being brought to ''Galactica'', Caparica-Boomer was detained within the new Cylon-brig cell. [[Number Six]] claims that Sharon's hybrid daughter will be born in this cell ([[Home, Part II]]). |
|
| |
|
| == ''Pegasus'' Brig ==
| | Battlestar ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' has a more advanced brig than ''Galactica'', with plexiglass walls instead of metal bars, and computer ID recognition cards required for entry. The [[Number Six]] copy known as [[Gina]] was ruthlessly tortured in ''Pegasus's'' brig for an extended period, before her escape. |

| ''[[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}}.
