<hr />
<div>:''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]].''<br />
<br />
'''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><br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Known Battlestar Groups==<br />
The following Battlestar Groups are known to have existed before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]; their continued existence as functional entities is dubious:<br />
*BSG 63: Led by [[Mercury class battlestar|''Mercury'' class battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', under Admiral [[Helena Cain]].<br />
*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.<br />
