68.9.113.183:

I just registered 5 minutes ago, so be gentle...
Is there any reason why the references to BattleStar's and Raiders are neither capitalized, or links?

: Hi! Welcome to the Wiki -- I hope you have a blast here! :-) Anyway, to address your question, Battlestar can be spelled one of two ways ("Battlestar" or "battlestar"). ("BattleStar" is an incorrect spelling, by the way.) As for raiders, you can capitalize them or not; it's similar to writing the "stealth fighter" or "naval carrier" -- you can choose whether or not to capitalize the first letters of each word. As for the links, by default the first letter of any article is capitalized. Why? It's just how the software we use works. :-) Hope that answers your question! -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 16:54, 14 Jun 2005 (EDT)

I noticed that Kuralyov had a number of Talk entries regarding basestars. Was he just tweaking the language?

:Just redirects from the various names used to describe Basestars, so any newcomer will be better able to find it via search. [[User:68.9.113.183|68.9.113.183]] 22:23, 15 Jun 2005 (EDT)

Joseph Adama

68.9.113.183:

Father of [[Adama, William]]. Apparently hailing from [[Caprica]].

He was a civil liberties lawyer ([[Litmus]]) and had divorced from [[Adama, Evelyn|Evelyn Adama]] when their son, William, was in his teens. Nevertheless, William later remarked that he thought Joseph was a better father than he ever was ([[The Hand of God]]).

Joseph always carried a silver lighter into his cases; he considered it good luck, and claimed he only lost a case when he left it at home. He later gave it to William, who, after the [[Holocaust]], gave it to [[Adama, Lee|his son]] ([[The Hand of God]]).

War College

2005-06-11T02:22:36Z

68.9.113.183:

Apparently a Colonial military educational institute, likely studying war tactics and other subjects pertaining to military application.

[[Adama, Lee|Lee Adama]] learned a technique using the [[pulse generators]] to create an [[EMP]]-type burst as a means of fending off the [[Cylons]] and incapacitating any warheads. (It would appear to an uneducated enemy that a nuclear warhead had detonated. In simuations, the Cylons never fell for the trick.) Lee Adama successfully used this method when the Cylons came across the [[Colonial One]] using the [[Galactica]]'s extracted pulse geneators ([[Mini-Series]]). [[Kara Thrace]] apparently did not attend War College ([[The Hand of God]]).

Fragged

2005-04-21T19:16:49Z

68.9.113.183: /* Guest Stars */

== Overview ==
[[Tigh, Saul|Colonel Tigh]] must meet with the [[Quorum of Twelve]]. They wish to see the [[Roslin, Laura|President]], and are growing impatient at the colonel's unwilligness to cooperate. They believe [[Adama, William|Commander Adama]] wishes to turn the fleet into a military dictatorship, and thus also believe Tigh is in on it as well. [[Zarek]] takes the political situation to heart to make a power play over the other quorum members.

Tigh attempts to explain the commander's decisions, saying Adama loved democrary (past tense, a point Zarek points out, taking to mean that Adama is dead; and which Colonel Tigh counters with saying he will pull through). They are also angry that the Cylon raptor is missing, and such an asset was allowed to be lost).

President Roslin is alone in her jail cell, where [[Ellen Tigh]] pays her a visit.

Meanwhile, Adama is being operated on by [[Dr. Cottle]]; he has removed one bullet, but cannot find the other one. Complications arise and [[Dee]] and Tigh must leave the operating room.

In orbit over [[Kobol]], [[Lee]] and two [[Raptor]]s are searching for a transponder signal from the downed Raptors. They find it on Kobol's northern hemisphere and begin to land.

== Notes ==
"Frag" is American military slang for intentionally killing a superior officer of your own force in the field. Popularized during Vietnam, when discipline lagged and a few officers got grenades in their bunkers or caught "friendly fire" during a skirmish.
