			== Design and Layout ==
			The design of private quarters aboard ''Galactica'' reflects the ship's utilitarian military function. According to production designer [[Richard Hudolin]], the crew quarters were influenced by life on a submarine, where space is at a premium and the crew must sleep in cramped conditions.<ref name="companion138">{{cite book \|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]] \|pages=138 \|author=David Bassom \|publisher=Titan Books \|year=2005}}</ref> Hudolin deliberately designed the crew quarters to be small and cramped with a claustrophobic feeling, reserving more epic designs for the ship's military elements since ''Galactica''{{'\|s}} primary function is to be a battleship.<ref name="companion138"/>

	Quarters for command officers such as [[Saul Tigh]] and {{callsign\|Karl Agathon}} appear to be [[duty locker]]s with only a single bunk, leaving the rest of the space available as a living or meeting area.		Quarters for command officers such as [[Saul Tigh]] and {{callsign\|Karl Agathon}} appear to be [[duty locker]]s with only a single bunk, leaving the rest of the space available as a living or meeting area.

	Ships such the [[Mercury class battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)\|Pegasus]]'' are larger than the older ''Galactica'', and as such have officer's quarters that are far from the spartan appearance on ''Galactica''. Admiral [[Helena Cain]]'s quarters included a large office area with a work table, command terminals and recessed shelves for display of personal effects like weapons and pictures, and a ~~shelve~~ with operation manuals.

			== Family Quarters ==
	''Galactica'' also possesses at least several rooms that may have been previously unoccupied officer's quarters, or empty VIP staterooms, which have been relegated for use by officers and NCO's with spouses or families. [[Galen Tyrol\|Galen]] and [[Cally Tyrol]], and their son [[Nicholas Tyrol\|Nicholas]] occupy one such room {{TRS\|Dirty Hands}}.

	== Admiral Adama's quarters ==		== Admiral Adama's quarters ==
			[[William Adama]]'s quarters are the largest aboard, complete with a living area, office area, private [[w:Head (watercraft)\|head]] and bunk. The quarters were carefully designed to reflect Adama's character and backstory.<ref name="companion138"/> According to Hudolin, "When he's in the [[CIC]] or anywhere else on the ship, he's the commander and that's it. But when he's in his room, we get a chance to express where Adama has been in the past, how he thinks and what he likes. It's an opportunity to show the humanity of the man and show more about who he is."<ref name="companion138"/>

	~~[[William~~ Adama~~]]'s quarters are the largest aboard, complete with a living area, office area, private [[w:Head (watercraft)\|head]] and bunk. Adama also~~ gave his quarters a very distinct look by decorating them with old wooden furniture and artwork such as paintings, sculptures and a sailing ship model built by himself. He also has a large number of books and collects swords, one of them being an [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005\|original Cylon Centurion]] sword <ref>This is an homage to the [[Original Series]], in which the [[Centurion (TOS)\|Centurions]] are actually armed with such swords.</ref>.

			=== Cylon War Painting ===
			A prominent feature of Adama's quarters is [[Monclair]]'s painting depicting the [[Cylon War]], painted by additional art director [[Ken Rabehl]].<ref name="companion139">{{cite book \|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]] \|pages=139 \|author=David Bassom \|publisher=Titan Books \|year=2005}}</ref> The painting was loosely inspired by a US National Archives photograph of soldiers raising the American flag after the [[w:Battle of Iwo Jima\|Battle of Iwo Jima]] in 1945, as well as various old lithographs.<ref name="companion139"/> According to art director [[Douglas McLean]], "The painting was very loosely based on several old lithographs and, in a way, the emotional content of the American flag photo was part of the inspiration for the painting. But in reality, the painting mostly just came from Ken's brain and hand."<ref name="companion139"/> The painting includes depictions of original series Cylons and represents a significant piece of Colonial military history.<ref name="companion139"/>

			=== Family Photographs ===
			Another personal touch in Adama's quarters is a photograph of the young William Adama with his two sons, [[Lee Adama\|Lee]] and [[Zak Adama\|Zak]], standing in front of a [[Viper Mark I]]. The image actually features a young [[Edward James Olmos]], created by replacing a stand-in's face with a photograph of Olmos when he was younger.<ref name="companion139"/>
