:''This page covers the acronym for the '''Battlestar Group'''. "BSG" is also an acronym for the television series, "Battlestar Galactica." For more, view the [[Battlestar Galactica|disambiguation page]].''

'''Battlestar Groups''' are seen by [[Ronald D. Moore]] as analogous to a modern-day [[Wikipedia:Carrier battle group|Carrier Battle Group]], comprising at least one battlestar, plus a number of support vessels.<ref>[http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/archives/2005/01/#a000015 January 27, 2005 blog post by RDM]</ref>
Given the number of available battlestars at the outbreak of hostilities with the [[Cylon attack]], it is possible that a battlestar group may have comprised a number (3-4) battlestars operating as a single unit, supported by additional Colonial vessels.

==Known Battlestar Groups==
The following Battlestar Groups are known to have existed before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]; their continued existence as functional entities is dubious:
*BSG 62: Led by [[Mercury class battlestar|''Mercury'' class battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', under Admiral [[Helena Cain]].
*BSG 75: Led by [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', under Commander [[William Adama]]. This group's high unit number belies the age of ''Galactica'', probably the oldest commissioned ship in the Colonial Fleet, or that it's high number lowers it's priority in the colonial fleet so the lower the number the more important the group.
