==Notes==
*SciFi.com's [[Wikipedia:Sci Fi Weekly|Sci Fi Weekly]] gave the game a rating of "A-" stating:

:"Ultimately, ''Galactica'' succeeds at doing what it set out to do: providing players with the tools to re-create the desperate flight of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]] from their [[Cylons (RDM)|robotic enemies]]. The game isn't for everyone, but those who love role-playing and don't get hung up on the lethality of combat should love it."<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.scifi.com/sfw/games/sfw16936.html|title= Battlestar Galactica Role Playing Game|date=11 September 2007|accessdate=1 October 2007|last=Newquist|first=Ken|format=|language=English}}</ref>
