	''Galactica's'' defenses include an array of twenty-four large turret mounted, dual-role twin-cannons, and a multitude of smaller turret mounted twin-guns located between the ''Galactica's'' "[[Frame\|ribs]]", along the [[flight pod]]s. Together, these provide the ''Galactica'' with a flak field that acts as a defense perimeter against incoming hostiles ([[Miniseries]], "[[Scattered]]"). In addition, the large cannons represent ''Galactica's'' main anti-capital ship weapon, and have been shown to be quite effective against targets like [[Basestar]]s ("[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]").

	::::::::Well in the first episode of Blood and Chrome there are two refitted Gal-type ships seen onscreen with a non refitted Galactica so its perfectly reasonable to assume that in the next two years the Gal was refitted before Operation Raptor Talon as other ships of its class are seen to during the war. To me it makes more sence to go by whats shown onscreen than just assume its a continuity error.

			==Question==

			I keep thinking the "Auxiliary Craft" section of the page looks out of place and odd. Since a battlestar's role is to launch and support small craft, such as Vipers and Raptors, would this section not be better on the ''[[Galactica type battlestar\|Galactica type]]'' page?

	:::::: Which leads to another issue. The B&C Galactica was different between the beginning and the end of the movie. Extra guns were added to the side of the nose in addition to the ones from the beginning of the movie, and the extra guns that were along the spine were missing, leaving only the ones from the series. My guess is that they had multiple concepts for the war-era Galactica and accidentally used two of them in different shots, but I haven't seen an official comment yet. So how should that be addressed? Retcon, glitch, refit? -- [[User:David cgc\|David cgc]] 13:33, 9 December 2012 (EST)		:::::: Which leads to another issue.
