'''''Galactica'''''  is one of a handful of combination warship/fighter carriers, known as [[Battlestar (TOS)|battlestars]], of the [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Twelve Colonies of Man]].

After a thirty-[[yahren]] journey across a span of the universe to escape [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] tyranny, ''Galactica'' is still in operation, protecting its [[The Fleet (TOS)|Fleet]] of 220 civilian ships.<ref>The extensive use of stock footage from the [[Original Series]] reinforces this impression.</ref>

Two areas of the vessel revealed are another hangar where [[Doctor Zee]]'s antigravity spaceship is assembled, and a [[Zee's chamber|conference room]] where the various leaders of the Fleet meet.

A small command center is used as well as [[core command]].<ref>The use of stock footage of core command implies that  the larger core command center depicted in the Original Series is still in use.</ref>

==Notes==
* After the cancellation of the Original Series, it appears that most of its sets were dismantled and destroyed. As a result, possibly as a cost savings as well as practicality, the sets of ''Galactica 1980'' are quite sparse. Most of the show's events occur on [[Earth (1980)|Earth]], where 'sets' are less complicated since they used contemporary settings.
* In the [[Dynamite Entertainment]] ''[[Galactica 1980 1|Galactica 1980 #1]]'' comic, Commander [[Adama (1980 alternate)|Adama]] and ''Galactica'''s crew fail in their attempts to establish contact with the humans of [[Earth (1980 alternate)|Earth]] in 1980 C.E. In a tactical blunder, Adama positions ''Galactica'' above the capital of the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]—the country responsible for launching the [[Voyager spacecraft|''Voyager'' spacecraft]]—and is destroyed by nuclear warheads launched by said country.
