Blueminneapolis: corrected syntax of CVBG link to wikipedia

:''"BSG" is an acronym for "battlestar group" and is also an acronym for the television series, ''Battlestar Galactica.'' See [[Battlestar Galactica]] for links to the series, the ships, and other general information about the series.''

'''Battlestar groups''' are groups of military vessels centered around at least one battlestar, often supported by a number of smaller vessels.
Given the number of available battlestars at the outbreak of hostilities with the [[Cylon attack]], it is possible that a battlestar group have more (3-4) battlestars operating as a single unit, likewise supported by additional Colonial vessels.
