This is a list of unproduced scripts for the Original Series.
| Prod. No. | Title | Writers | Overview |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unknown | Saga of a Star World (early draft) | Glen A. Larson | An early version of Saga of a Star World with numerous differences: Skyler is the early name for Apollo; Starbuck is much younger; Lyra is the early name for Serina; and there is no Cassiopeia. |
| #85274 | The Beta Pirates | Leslie Stevens | Athena, Boxey and Muffit are captured, sold at a slave auction, end up in a Cylon prison -- only to be rescued by Skyler (Apollo's original name), Starbuck and a pirate with a "heart of gold". |
| Unknown | The Nari of Sentinel 27/Crossfire | John Ireland | An early version of Gun on Ice Planet Zero with many changes of note, among with the Cylons are reptilian, the Thetas are called "Nari" (which connections to Earth herself!), and Serina is featured in the episode as "Lyra". This version does not contain the convicts, Vulpa, or Dr. Ravashol. |
| Unknown | Fire in Space | Michael Sloan | The script that "Fire in Space" is based on. However, there are several major differences; Starbuck, Apollo, and Boomer are undercover in a bar attempting to find information on the Cylon pursuit; the Cylons have a plan to attack and ram Galactica called "The Delta Factor". During this, Starbuck is convicted of killing the husband of a woman he meets, Apollo is forced to seek out laser power packs for Adama's surgery, Starbuck uses his Viper to extinguish a blaze, and Boxey, who just happens to witness the murder Starbuck is falsely charged with doing, is targeted by the real killer himself, but is saved (in a timely fashion) by Apollo. Coincidentally, this is the script that results in Sloan getting a story-by credit on "Murder on the Rising Star", since this has the murder plot in it. |
| #50903 | Showdown | Frank Abatemarco | Three of Galactica's techs, Masi, Bule and Andor, are disgruntled and sick of the "Chosen Few" being able to explore new planets.

Meanwhile, Starbuck, Athena, Deitra, Apollo and Boxey discover a millennium's old battleship that could be from Earth. |
| #50914 | The Mutiny | Guy Magar | After coming across the hospitable planet Zarta, the Quorum of Twelve, in its infinite wisdom and tired of the journey, has decided that the Fleet and its members shall settle the planet.

| #50916 | The Furlon | Donald Bellisario | An earlier version of The Man with Nine Lives. This version features Bojay and Sheba in far more prominent roles, with Bojay's character a bit more fleshed out. Otherwise, the bulk of the script is in line with what is shot on screen. |
| #50923 | Two For Twilly | Jim Carlson and Terrence McDonnell | Starbuck and Apollo's friend, Chief Twilly, the only gyro specialist on Galactica juggles two wives: Zeena and Gayla. Starbuck and Apollo help him deal with his complex marital issues. |
