Jen Kassia

2006-03-22T11:17:20Z

James Swallow:

Colonel '''Jen Kassia''' was ''[[Galactica (Video Game)|Galactica's]]'' [[Executive officer|XO]], stationed aboard the battlestar during the early days of the Cylon War. She was always looking out for the young Viper pilot, [[William Adama (Video Game)| William Adama]].

A tough, non-nonsense woman, Kassia had never known anything other than military life. She was born aboard the battleship [[Orion]] in Tauran space, with a hard childhood spent on the [[New Caprica]] colony. Her youth was marred by the capture of her lover [[Callisto]] during a Cylon raid, and the incident affected her deeply; Callisto’s body was taken for bio-mass processing in Cylon hybridization experiments and never recovered. Kassia’s harsh early life has gave her a personality that is reflected in her former callsign, ‘Hardcase’ – she lived for the here and now, mindful that during war, death is always lurking nearby. After the capture of her CO, Commander [[Magus]], by Cylon forces, Kassia briefly assumed direct command of the ''[[Galactica (Video Game)|Galactica]]''.

Kassia looked on Adama with an uncommon degree of fondness, as a rookie Viper pilot in need of some guidance that she’s was happy to give – even if he wanted it or not. Kassia and Commander Magus were trusted friends as well as fellow officers.

The "Battlestar Galactica" [[video game]] has its own continuity that uses elements from both the [[Battlestar Galactica(TOS)|Original Series]] and the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]].

Erebus's basestar

2006-03-20T12:03:35Z

James Swallow:

The '''Basestar''' commanded by the [[Imperious Leader]] [[Erebus]] appears in the Battlestar Galactica [[video game]] and is an uprated variant of the [[Basestar (TOS)]] capital ship. Erebus's Basestar was similar in most respects to the standard Basestar vessel, with the addition of a satallite craft called the '''Cradle Unit'''. Built into the upper spindle of Erebus's command ship, the disc-shaped Cradle Unit could detach from the mother vessel and was equipped with powerful weapons and a virtually impregnable force shield. Erebus's Basestar was the only known variant of its kind and it was destroyed in orbit around the gas giant planet [[Golem Five]]; the Cradle Unit fled into the planet's atmosphere with Erebus on board, only to be shot down by the young [[Adama, William (Video Game)|Lt. William "Husker" Adama]].

Basestar (TOS)

2006-03-20T11:48:53Z

James Swallow:

''This article is about the [[TOS|Original Series]] basestar. For the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|re-imagined]] version, see [[Basestar (RDM)]].''

[[Image:BasestarTOS.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A group of Cylon Basestars]]
A '''basestar''' is a large capital warship of the [[Cylon Alliance]].

Basestars are immense vehicles that, like their Colonial counterparts, the [[Battlestar (TOS)|battlestar]]s, serve as a combination aircraft carrier and capital warship. They are capable of carrying (and supporting) over three hundred [[Raider (TOS)|Raiders]]. Armed with missiles, over one hundred defensive laser turrets, and two long range mega pulsar weapons, the capital warship of the Cylon Alliance is more than a match for any unprepared or unaware battlestar ([[The Hand of God (TOS)|The Hand of God]]). Basestars are also designed for orbital bombardment of a planet, and, true to their name, also serve as a moving base of operations.

Basestars, and their fighters were key in the Cylon's genocidal destruction of the Twelve Colonies and the battlestar fleet. Only battlestar ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' was known to have survived the [[Battle of Cimtar|initial holocaust]], and gathered an odd assortment of civilian spacecraft with the remnants of Humanity, leaving the dead Colonies behind in search of the 13th Colony--[[Earth]].

Viper (2003 Video Game)

2006-03-20T11:34:31Z

James Swallow:

Within the [[Video Game]], three variants of Viper are available: the Mark I, which is designed to be an earlier version of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|original series]] Viper; the Mark II, which is largely based on the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] Viper, and the Mark III, which is described as "superior to the Mark II in every respect". The Mark III is distinctive because of its two-seat cockpit and the lack of the characteristic dorsal fin common to most Viper designs. The Mark III is also known as the Strike Viper.

James Swallow:

The Crimson Elite appears in the Battlestar Galactica [[video game]]; it was a modified version of the standard Cylon [[Centurion]] in service to the [[Imperious Leader]] [[Erebus]]. A more evolved breed of Cylon, the Crimson Elites were smarter and more ruthless than their simplistic brethren, capable of simulating the worst of human emotions like hatred and anger. Crimson Elite Cylons were assigned a prototype variant of the [[Cylon Raider]] fightercraft, known as the [[Crimson Elite Raider]].

==Note==

Raider (RDM)

2006-03-20T11:02:48Z

James Swallow:

==Re-imagined Raider==

=== Overview ===
The Raider is the primary aerospace attack craft used by the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]]. Two variants are know to have been developed:
* The Piloted Raider
* The Automated Raider

===Piloted Raider===
[[Image:Bsg-raider-P.jpg|thumb|Cylon Piloted Raider (credit: Small Artworks)]]
The piloted Raider was first encountered during the [[Cylon War]] ([[Miniseries]]).
''The piloted raider is the same as the Original Series raider, see below''.

====Notes====
* Within fan circles, when discussing the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|re-imagined series]], it has been hypothesised that the original Raider was in fact a Colonial vehicle designed to be flown by a human crew. However, with the development of the [[Cylon Centurion]], they were crudely adapted to be flown by Cylons. Thus, their use during the [[Cylon War]] prompted the development of the Colonial [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]]. Currently, there is nothing that is [[canon]] to support this.

===Autonomous Raider===
[[Image:bsg-raider-A.jpg|thumb|Cylon Autonomous Raider, captured by the Battlestar Galactica (credit: Sky One / Sci-Fi Channel)]]

The Autonomous Raider was first encountered more than 40 years after the [[Cylon War]], when the Cylons launched their devastating [[Cylon Attack|surprise attack]] on the [[Twelve Colonies]]. It is the new model that has superceded the old piloted Raider.

The vehicle is substantially different to the piloted Raider, comprising a small fuselage mounted between two large forward-curved wings.

The autonomous Raider was initially thought to be wholly mechanical in design, with a high-level AI controlling it. However, following the recovery of a Raider that had been forced down onto a planetoid during a firefight with Lieutenant [[Kara Thrace]] ([[Act of Contrition]]), it was discovered the new Raider is, in fact, bio-mechanical in nature ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]), incorporating a number of large organs in its design, including an bio-mechanical brain.

Much like the [[Cylon agent ]] models, the Raiders are capable of transferring their consciousness into new bodies after their death ([[Scar]]).

The autonomous Raider has a broad weapons capability:
* Conventional missiles carried in internal wing bays ([[Mini-Series]])
* Nuclear missiles mounted on under-wing racks ([[Mini-Series]])
* Two different caliber sets of twin kinetic energy weapon guns mounted under the leading edge of the wings ([[33]] onwards)

During the Cylon attack, the new Raider was also capable of transmitting an electronic virus to any Colonial vessel utilising the Command Navigation Program ([[CNP]]). The CNP had been compromised prior to the attack, and provided a [[backdoor]] by which integrated systems aboard Colonial vessels could be rendered inoperable, rendering the ship defenseless ([[Mini-Series]]).

The new model of Cylon Raider is also equipped with a small-scale [[FTL]] drive system ([[Mini-Series]]). Following tests on the Raider captured by the ''Galactica'', this FTL system was found to be far more capable than Colonial FTL systems. Estimates showed that the drive could carry the Raider from somewhere near the vicinity of [[Kobol]] back to [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]] in a single jump ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]).

Like the previous model of Raider, it is atmosphere-capable ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]).

Overall, the new Raider is an agile fighter craft, far more manoeuvrable than its piloted forebear, and able to match Colonial [[Viper (RDM)|Vipers]] in combat.

==== Technical Specifications ====
===== Dimensions =====
*Length: (approx) 29.34ft (8.94m)
*Wingspan: (approx) 18.33ft (5.59m)
*Height: (approx) 5ft (1.52m)

==Original Series Raider==
''The original series raider is the same as the piloted raider, seen in photo above.''

The Cylon Raider is the primary fightercraft of the Cylons. Piloted by a crew of three, it was armed with two forward-firing [[Kinetic Energy Weapon|kinetic energy weapons]] and could carry missiles in bays within the wings and on racks mounted beneath the wings.

Oval in shape, the piloted Raider had two sublight engines for propulsion, but probably did not incoporate FTL technology. On extended missions, Raiders have been known to be accompanied by fuel tanker escorts. This allows wings of Raiders to cross large areas of space (relatively speaking) at sublight speeds without the aid of a Basestar. This tactic is normally used on sneak attack missions, allowing Raider wings to slip past enemy defences undetected, whereas a Basestar would easily be spotted by enemy scanners. ("[[Saga of a Star World (TOS)|Saga of a Star World]]")

The vehicle was both space and atmosphere-capable.

==Cylon Raider (Video Game)==

Also known as the 'Standard Raider', this version of the Raider was the primary fightercraft of the Cylons in the Battlestar Galactica [[Video Game]]. It was similar in design to the Original Series Raider. Piloted by a single Cylon, it was armed with two forward-firing [[Kinetic Energy Weapon|kinetic energy weapons]]. Several other Raider variants also exist in the video game continuity.

Battlestar Galactica (2003 game)

2006-03-20T01:18:31Z

James Swallow:

The '''Battlestar Galactica video game''' was released in November 2003 (just before the [[Miniseries]]),

In the game, the player takes the part of Ensign [[Adama, William (Video Game)|William "Husker" Adama]], and flies his Viper on missions against the Cylons, lead by [[Imperious Leader]] [[Lord Erebus]], during the opening days of the [[Cylon War]]. The only other character from the shows to make an appearance is a young [[Cain, Garris|Garris Cain]]; however, using cheat codes, the original characters of [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] can appear as your wingmen (and are even voiced by Original Series actors [[Dirk Benedict]] and [[Richard Hatch]], respectively).

Both the ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' and ''[[Atlantia]]'' make an appearance; it is the former which the orphaned Adama lives on, having fallen in love with [[Iphigenia]], the daughter of its commander, [[Magus]].

'''Developer:''' Warthog Games (UK), on behalf of Vivendi Universal. 
'''Platforms:''' X-Box and Playstation 2

==Note==

The [[Video Game|2003 Video Game]] draws elements from items found in what was to become the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|"Re-imagined" (RDM) Series]] as well as elements familiar to the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] (TOS). Because of this and new elements, the Video Game creates a continuity that is generally separate from the TOS and RDM series. The game was designed to complement both the Original Series and the "Re-imagined" series; an earlier incarnation of the game developed but never produced in 2001 was based on the [[Bryan Singer|Singer]] / [[Tom DeSanto|DeSanto]] [[Battlestar Galactica (SDS)|continuation project]].

*In the game, William Adama is romantically involved with a woman named [[Iphigenia]]. In the Original Series, his wife is named [[Ila]].
*In the game, Adama has a full name, "William Adama." The Original Series character had no such name, but the same name (and callsign) are used for the [[William Adama|character in the Re-imagined Series]].
*Using a special cheat, the Original Series characters of [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] are available as wingmen to the player character, Adama. This wholly contradicts the characterizations of both Original Series and Re-imagined Series, where Starbuck and Apollo are subordinates to Adama. Further, Adama is Apollo's father in the Original Series, so for young Adama to fly with his son of the same age (game cheat notwithstanding) is a temporal contradiction. An additional bonus mission for the game was scripted but never implemented in the final build; this mission would have featured the Original Series characters of [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] traveling back into the past to prevent the death of the young Adama. Details of that mission, including the script, are available [http://hometown.aol.co.uk/redwingproject/battlestar4.htm here].

Galactica (2003 Video Game)

2006-03-20T01:17:05Z

James Swallow:

[[Image:Galac-game.jpg|thumb|Battlestar Galactica from the Video Game]]
The battlestar '''''Galactica'''' is the central ship in the video game "Battlestar Galactica", released in 2003 by Vivendi Universal Games.

The setting of this game depicts ''Galactica'' as a veteran battleship in a setting that makes it a "prequel" of the events of the Original Series and the Miniseries by approximately 35-45 years, but with significant differences to both.

The player takes on the role of "William Adama", a character that shares the name of his [[William Adama|Re-imagined Series character]], but whose history and continuity, and [[Viper (TOS)|space fighter]] follows more of [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|the Original Series]]. As such, the battlestar ''Galactica'' shown in the game seems mostly integrated in the Original Series continuity, but not fully.

The young Adama grows into leadership throughout the course of the game. Confirming Adama's growth is the character page of the [[Imperious Leader]] [[Erebus]], which speaks of the young Adama in the game as the one that, according to "sacred prophesies," will "lead the last surviving humans to the location of the 13th tribe." If the game is taken as [[canon|canonical]], ''Galactica'' is eventually fully refitted to the status seen at the start of the Original Series, without alien technology needed to aid it. The age of the battlestar as stated in the game implies that ''Galactica'' has fought for at least half of the [[Thousand Yahren War]].

The ''Galactica'' of this video game is predominantly based on that of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original series]], but with notable changes designed to reflect her 500-yahren service and the fact that she has had to rely on alien technology for upgrades and refits. Text from the game notes:

:"The Battlestar has been repaired often and parts of its structure are clearly newer or are made of stranger, alien materials. Parts of the huge engine nacelles are broken and partly scaffolded, the repairs half-complete, the exposed structures vast and skeletal."

Given the ship is based on the original, it is logical to assume her displacement, capabilities and dimensions mirror those of the Original Series ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'', and its [[Battlestar (TOS)|design]].

''Galactica'''s commanding officer in the game is Commander [[Magus]] and his executive officer is Colonel Jen [[Kassia]]; neither character is mentioned in the Original Series or the Miniseries.

Five battlestars are mentioned in the game:
*Battlestar ''[[Atlantia]]''
*Battlestar ''[[Columbia]]''
*Battlestar ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]''
*Battlestar ''[[Battlestar (TOS)#Pegasus|Pegasus]]''
*Battlestar ''[[Rycon]]''

==Notes==
This game debuted in stores on November 18, 2003. The [[Miniseries]] of the Re-imagined adventures of a new ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' premiered on the Sci-Fi Channel less than a month later, on December 8, 2003. Despite suggestions that this game was based more on elements from the defunct [[Battlestar Galactica (SDS)|Singer/DeSanto revival project]], it was in fact created to encompass elements of both the 1978 and 2003 shows. An earlier incarnation of the game based on the Singer/DeSanto project was scripted but never produced.

Bryn Magus

2006-03-20T01:07:58Z

James Swallow:

'''Bryn Magus''' was the commander of the battlestar ''[[Galactica (Video Game)|Galactica]]'', father of [[Iphigenia]] and [[Paulus]], and a father-figure to [[William Adama (Video Game)|Lt. William Adama]]. Some time prior to the Cylon War (as depicted in the game), Adama's father often saved Magus' life; when Adama was orphaned, Magus looked after the boy as part of his debt to the elder Adama, later welcoming him onboard ''Galactica'' when he graduated from flight school.

At the age of 55, Magus was an imposing character, a formidable man, a tactical genius to his troops, and a strong father-figure to pilots such as William Adama, and his two children, [[Paulus]] and [[Iphigenia]]. Magus owed his life to Adama’s father, who saved him several times when the two men were junior officers, and it is to his eternal regret that he couldn’t save his friend from the Cylons when they were both shot down; Magus subsequently spent a year as a prisoner-of-war on a the Cylon penal world of Ixion before being rescued by the crew of the Battleship [[Perseus]], and ever since felt a duty to protect the younger Adama in memory of his best friend. Rising to the command of the [[Galactica]], Magus was one of the most decorated Colonial officers of his age.

Commander Magus was born on [[Aerelon]] in Cyan Province. During his years as a fighter pilot, his callsign was 'Hawk'. During the course of the "Battlestar Galactica" [[video game]]'s plotline, Magus is abducted by Cylon forces and converted into a half-human, half cyborg agent and turned against his own people.

==Note==

The "Battlestar Galactica" [[video game]] has its own continuity that uses elements from both the [[Battlestar Galactica(TOS)|Original Series]] and the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]].

In some write-ups of the game, his name is written as "Magnus" (Latin for "great"). However, the write-ups are in error, as in the game he is clearly named Magus.

[[Category:A to Z]] [[Category:Video Game Characters]]

Erebus

2006-03-20T01:03:35Z

James Swallow:

[[Image:Erebus.jpg|right|300px]]
Lord '''Erebus''' was an [[Imperious Leader]] from the [[Video Game|2003 "Battlestar Galactica" video game]].

Erebus led the Cylon task force known as Cylon Fleet Gamma against the Twelve Colonies during the beginning of the Cylon War, and was especially interested in [[William Adama (Video Game)|Lt. William Adama]], whom it was believed would one day lead the Colonials (and thus, the Cylons) to the [[Earth|lost tribe of Colonists]].

Little is known about the being that called itself Erebus beyond speculation and ill-remembered myths. A dark, devious and hate-filled individual, Erebus was driven by a desire to wipe out all humans, a species he saw as inferior. Not a native of the Cylon Alliance, he apparently only served the Cylons only because it furthered his own ends. Some observers believed that Erebus was an incredibly long-lived being, possibly one of the mythic [[Lords of Kobol]] who were the progenitors of the Colonial peoples. Ancient records from the Tombs of [[Kobol]] speak of Erebus being exiled from his race for terrible crimes, and of his metahuman abilities that allow him to predict future events and project telekinetic force with his mind. Although it cannot be confirmed, it was suspected that Erebus commanded the Cylon forces that attacked Sagitara early in the war; it was during this assault that William Adama’s father was killed and [[Bryn Magus]] was captured and imprisoned. Whatever the truth about this aberrant, corrupt being, Lord Erebus proved himself to be a clear and present danger to all humans. Erebus was served by modified Cylons as part of his [[Crimson Elite]] Guard. He was finally killed by Adama in the upper atmosphere of the gas giant planet [[Golem Five]].

Erebus was voiced by veteran actor Dwight Schultz, who starred in the TV show "The A-Team" with [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series actor]] [[Dirk Benedict]].

==Note==

The "Battlestar Galactica" [[video game]] has its own continuity that uses elements from both the [[Battlestar Galactica(TOS)|Original Series]] and the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]].

Unlike its Original Series counterparts, Erebus has an actual name as opposed to being called only by its title. Because of this and other significant differences found in the video game, the canonical value of Erebus as an Original Series character is very unlikely.

The ''Perseus'' was a battleship from the [[video game]]. Some time after the start of the [[Cylon War]], it liberated a Cylon prison facility that had been holding captives (including ''[[Galactica]]'' commander [[Magus]]) inside it for over a year.

===Note===

Crimson Elite

2006-03-20T00:38:31Z

James Swallow:

The Crimson Elite was a modified version of the standard Cylon [[Centurion]] in service to the [[Imperious Leader]] [[Erebus]]. A more evolved breed of Cylon, the Crimson Elites were smarter and more ruthless than their simplistic brethren, capable of simulating the worst of human emotions like hatred and anger.

==Note==

'''Tybalt''' was a male Colonial Viper pilot in his mid-twenties; a quiet and introspective man, but a real demon in a firefight who let his actions speak for him. Tybalt served aboard the Battlestar ''[[Galactica (Video Game)|Galactica]]'' as a pilot in Red Wing.

Shane served aboard the Battlestar ''[[Galactica (Video Game)|Galactica]]'' as a pilot in Red Wing.

Rylo

2006-03-20T00:23:31Z

'''Rylo''' was a male Colonial Viper pilot in his early forties, a dour and wry fighter ace quick with a quip and a laser cannon, an unflappable veteran who had seen it all. Rylo served aboard the Battlestar ''[[Galactica (Video Game)|Galactica]]'' as a pilot in Red Wing. Rylo and his wingmates (pilots [[Lukas]], [[Shane]] and [[Tybalt]]) were all lost when a Cylon force ambushed them over the ice planet Nimbus.
However, rumours continued to persist for several years that Rylo had in fact survived a crash landing on Nimbus only to be captured by the Cylons. His fate, for now, remains unknown.

Within the [[Video Game]], three variants of Viper are available: the Mark I, which is designed to be an earlier version of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|original series]] Viper; the Mark II, which is largely based on the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] Viper, and the Mark III, which is described as "superior to the Mark II in every respect". The Mark III is also known as the Strike Viper.
