'''GAL 560''' is ''[[Galactica (TOS-DE alternate)|Galactica]]''{{'|s}} [[Colonial shuttle]] operating in or after [[7348 (alternate)|7348]].


Lieutenant [[Starbuck (TOS-DE alternate)|Starbuck]] pilots this shuttle for Commander [[Adama (TOS-DE alternate)|Adama]], [[Parrin]] and [[Grust]], as Parrin shows him the [[Okaati fleet]] ({{Comics|classic|1}}).
'''UIY 1138''' is ''{{TOS|Galactica}}''{{'|s}} [[Colonial shuttle]] dispatched to [[Arcta]] in order to destroy the [[Ravashol pulsar]].
 
It is shot down by a patrol of {{TOS|Cylon}} {{TOS|Raider}}s and crashes near [[Deathpoint Plateau]] {{OS|The Gun on Ice Planet Zero}}.

* The shuttle's registry is a nod to [[John Jackson Miller]]'s grandfather, who served aboard the [[W:USS LST-560|U.S.S. ''LST-560'']] in [[W:World War II|World War II]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://farawaypress.com/comics/battlestargalacticacounterstrike/battlestargalacticacounterstrike1/|title=THE STORIES BEHIND THE STORIES: Battlestar Galactica: Counterstrike #1|last=Miller|first=John Jackson|accessdate=21 August 2022}}</ref>
* The shuttle registry shifts between ''UIY 1138'' and ''[[GAL 356]]'' due to reuse of special effects from "[[Saga of a Star World]]."
* UIY 1138 is a nod to the film {{W|THX 1138}}, as it features a letter shift. It is an Easter egg placed by [[Apogee]], a special-effects company created by [[John Dykstra]] with a team of {{W|Industrial Light and Magic}} employees that produced effects for both "Saga of a Star World" and "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero."
