Editing List of terms (TOS alternate)

{{separate continuity|universe=TOS|universe2=1980}}

{{terms series}}

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 (TOS)|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.
