<br />
'''The Fleet''' is a convoy of ships sheltering the human survivors of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]]. The Fleet forms the backdrop of the drama of the [[Re-imagined Series]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
[[Image:Galactica & Fleet.jpg|thumb|right|Promotional image of ''Galactica'' and the Fleet.]]<br />
"The Fleet" originates as a convoy of about 60 commercial and civilian ships in the space surrounding [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]. [[Laura Roslin]] - with the aid of [[Sharon Valerii]] - initiates the clustering of stranded vessels in the aftermath of the Cylon invasion of the Twelve Colonies, thus forming the convoy. Twenty of these ships are abandoned to a squadron of attacking [[Raider (RDM)|Raiders]] because they either lack [[FTL]] drives, or are damaged, like the sublight ''[[Botanical Cruiser]]'' and ''[[Gemenon Liner 1701]]''. The remaining vessels join battlestar ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' - the only Colonial warship [[Pegasus (RDM)|known]] to have survived the Cylon attack - in the upper atmosphere of the gas giant [[Ragnar]]. From here on, ''Galactica'' shoulders the role of the Fleet's protector ([[Miniseries]]).<br />
<br />
[[Anastasia Dualla]] explains in "[[33]]" that 53 ships have jumped away from an attacking Cylon baseship, with 10 still reporting trouble with their FTL drives. Adding ''Galactica'' to this tally, results in a total number of 64 ships. <br />
<br />
[[Saul Tigh]]'s statement in "[[The Farm]]" that the 24 ships departing with the [[Laura Roslin faction]] represent "almost a third of the Fleet", implies that the number of ships in the Fleet is approximately in the mid-70's. However in the opening scene of "[[Home, Part I]]" Tigh's response to the number of civilians joining Roslin is "That's over a third of the people in the Fleet." Since "the Fleet" s used interchangeably to describe both the ships and the civilian populace, this could imply that Tigh's statement in "[[The Farm]]" was an estimate of the people who left and not the number of ships lost.<br />
<br />
By "[[The Passage]]", there are likely fewer ships left in the Fleet because of the ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' destruction ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]) and the settlement and emergency exodus of [[New Caprica]] ([[Exodus, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
The political and social troubles befalling the Fleet as it wanders through space, serve as a metaphor for all of humanity, since the Fleet literally ''is'' what is left of humanity in the television series.<br />
<br />
The phrase "the Fleet" functions not only as a signifier for the actual ships of the convoy, but as an indicator of the people on board, and therefore for mankind. Often the term is used to refer to the civilian populations, as opposed to the military personnel of ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus''. Usage of the term "the Fleet" has not gained more than an informal acceptance, as can be seen by President Roslin's continued use of the term ''President of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]]''. This may be interpreted either as an expression of hope that the people of the Fleet will re-establish themselves on a new world, or a psychological inability to accept the Fleet as the only home that humanity will know for a long time.<br />
<br />
After three years of searching the Fleet eventually reaches [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]], but are disappointed to find it a devastated wasteland as a result of a nuclear holocaust ([[Revelations]]). The fleet leave Earth in search of a new home, with the Rebel Cylon Basestar joining them ([[Sometimes a Great Notion]]). By the time of Felix Gaeta's and Tom Zarek's mutiny aboard ''Galactica'' ([[Blood on the Scales]]), dialogue indicates that the Fleet is down to the very low figure of 35 civilian ships, a surprising loss of about half the initial ships from [[33]]. Most of these losses remain unaccounted for, as very few civilian ships have been seen or heard to be actually lost on screen. Given that the human population has only declined by about one fifth at this point rather than a similar half, this could be a continuity error or retcon, or the remaining ships would have had to nearly double the number of civilians aboard to compensate. It is possible in the context of the dialogue in the episode that the figure of 35 referred only to the number of ships initially loyal to the mutineers.<br />
<br />
[[Image:The fleet's end.jpg|thumb|right|The Fleet's end.]]<br />
<br />
The Rebel basestar officially joins the Fleet after the failed coup, with a [[Number Six|Six]] named [[Sonja]] joining the new [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum]] comprised of ship captains ([[Someone to Watch Over Me]]).<br />
<br />
The Fleet would eventually be abandoned by the Colonials, with their ships guided into Sol. The Rebel basestar was given to the [[Cylon Centurion|centurions]] by the Rebel Cylons for them to find their own destiny ([[Daybreak, Part II]]).<br />

== Non-canonical ==<br />
<br />
Initially, it appears that the production did not have a master list of ships in the first season, as evidenced by the numerical discrepancies to the later retconned numbers in Season 2. The following is a list of ships that have been mentioned in deleted scenes exclusively.<br />
<br />

|''{{inlineref|bold=N|Coronis}}'' || ''Coronis'' is mentioned in a deleted scene in "[[Litmus]]", as a ship carrying people who are unhappy about being last in food ration distribution. However, it is not present on either the master tally board on ''Galactica'' or the whiteboard tracker on ''Colonial One'' in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II". As ''Coronis'' has not been mentioned in any canonical capacity, it is considered totally abandoned by the producers .<br/><br />
In Greek mythology [[w:Coronis (Greek mythology)|Coronis]] is the name of several figures.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Demographics==<br />
A few points of information are available concerning the demographics of the Fleet. In "[[33]]", before the destruction of the Olympic Carrier, there are 5,251 survivors from Sagittaron and 49,998 total survivors. In "[[Home, Part I]]", the [[Laura Roslin faction]] leaves the Fleet with 18,000 individuals, of which 9,500 ware Gemenese and 6,250 were Capricans. At that time the total population of the Fleet is 47,857.<br />
<br />
This information is sparse, but it gives a general idea of the population breakdown of the Fleet if a few assumptions are made for the sake of argument.<br />
*Note that Gemenon and Caprica have more citizens in the Roslin faction alone than Sagittaron has in the entire Fleet. The Twelve Colonies are clearly not represented in equal proportion.<br />
*Before the destruction of the ''Olympic Carrier'', Sagittaron natives make up 10.50% of the Fleet. Solely for the purpose of argument, it is assumed that the ''Olympic Carrier'''s population breakdown was identical to the rest of the Fleet's and that Sagittaron continues to make up 10.50% of the Fleet's total population.<br />
*The figures from the Roslin faction can be interpreted in several ways:<br />
<div style="float:right; margin:10px">[[Image:Demographics1.png]]</div><br />
:*ASSUMPTION 1: All Gemenese and Capricans jump to Kobol with the Roslin faction. <br />
::*Caprica: 6,250 persons (13%)<br />
::*Gemenon: 9,500 persons (20%)<br />
::*Sagittaron: 5,026 persons (11%)<br />
::*Others: 27,081 (57%)<br clear="both"><br />
<div style="float:right; margin:10px">[[Image:Demographics2.png]]</div><br />
:*ASSUMPTION 2: All Gemenese jump to Kobol with the Roslin faction, lured by the "religion card", but the Caprican portion of the Roslin faction is representative of the Fleet.<br />
::*Caprica: 28,204 persons (59%)<br />
::*Gemenon: 9,500 persons (20%)<br />
::*Sagittaron: 5,026 persons (11%)<br />
::*Others: 5,127 persons (11%)<br clear="both"><br />
<div style="float:right; margin:10px">[[Image:Demographics3.png]]</div><br />
:*ASSUMPTION 3: Caprican and Gemenese portions of the Roslin faction are representative of the Fleet.<br />
::*Caprica: 16,617 persons (35%)<br />
::*Gemenon: 25,258 persons (53%)<br />
::*Sagittaron: 5,026 persons (11%)<br />
::*Others: 956 (2%)<br clear="both"><br />
*Although it is plausible that the Caprican population is substantially larger than the other Colonies, as ''Colonial Heavy 798'' is in the vicinity when the attack begins, and is the nucleus around which the Fleet rallies, it is unlikely that the populations of each colony are grossly unequal, or else the [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]] would be a very poor system of government. The likeliest scenario is therefore somewhere in between assumptions 1 and 2, with nearly all of the Gemenon population (drawn by the "religion card") and a large portion of the Caprican population leaving with Roslin.<br />
*Alternatively, it is possible that the population of the Colonies are grossly unequal. Although the structure of the Quorum of Twelve appears to maintain at least a fiction that the Colonies are roughly equal, next to nothing is known about how the [[Government|governmental]] system of the Colonies was established or how it evolved over time. Indeed, the United States Senate, for example, by design expressly assumes that the various states constituting it are 'equal' even though this is clearly not the case in terms of their respective populations. Furthermore, the fact that a system of government is 'poor' or else not representatively proportional does not mean it cannot actually be implemented and even survive for long periods of time. <br />
<br />
As for the population distribution, the population of several ships is known: ''Galactica'' (2,693 as of "[[Water]]"), the ''Olympic Carrier'' (1,345 as of "[[33]]"), ''Astral Queen'' (1,500 as of "[[Bastille Day]]", [[List of retcons (RDM)|retconned]] up from 500 in the Miniseries) and ''Pyxis'' (600 when destroyed in "[[He That Believeth In Me]]"). There are 176 civilians in the cargo hold of ''[[Colonial One]]'' in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]". The Fleet is stated at about 75 ships in "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]", retconned up from 40 in the Miniseries.<br />
*Going by the 75 ship count, the remaining ships besides ''Galactica'' and the ''Astral Queen'' each carry about 600 persons on average.<br />
*The 23 ships that leave with the [[Laura Roslin faction]], apart from the ''Astral Queen'', would have an average population of about 720 persons per ship.<br />
<br />
The Fleet's population has declined by about 8,000 since the above.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*Unofficially, many viewers refer to the Fleet as the "RTF"; "Rag Tag Fleet", or more fully, "RTFF." These nicknames come from the term "Rag Tag Fugitive Fleet," a name used in the opening credits voice over of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] (performed by series creator [[Lorne Greene]]), describing the [[The Fleet (TOS)|civilian refugee fleet]].<br />
* In the [[Miniseries]], astute viewers may recognize three spacecraft with notable resemblances of ships from other SF universes. The first two of these ships aren't considered a [[Canon|canonical]] part of the series or the Fleet, but their appearance adds a bit of humor and pays homage to other notable science fiction and their creative staff.<br />
:* ''Serenity'', the central ship from the TV series ''[[Wikipedia:Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' and the motion picture ''[[Wikipedia:Serenity (film)|Serenity]]'', [[:md:Image:SerenityBSGMini.JPG|appears briefly in the sky]] outside the window of a doctor's office where viewers first see [[Laura Roslin]]. The ship does not appear in the Fleet.<br />
:* The original USS [[MemoryAlpha:USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|''Enterprise'' (NCC-1701)]] from the original ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' TV series makes a cameo in the [[:md:Image:Enterprise in fleet.jpg|last shot of the Fleet]] as [[Elosha]] chants a prayer in the memorial service near the end of the Miniseries. Look to the upper right corner for the ship in a still frame. All Season 1 [[opening credits]] use this shot, so ''Enterprise'' makes a very quick appearance with each of the first 13 episodes (This is best viewed from the [[Season 1 DVD]] set).<br />
:*The ill-fated [[Botanical Cruiser]] in the Miniseries was added in homage to the [[Agro Ship]] from the Original Series, which in turn were the re-used models from the SF film ''[[Wikipedia:Silent Running|Silent Running]]'', a Universal/MCA movie that special effects guru [[John Dykstra]] worked on a few years prior. At least one FTL-capable version of this ship survives and exists in the Fleet ([[The Passage]]).<br />
* [[Battlestar Galactica Blue Prints|A list of blueprints]] of ships in the Fleet is available.<br />

<div>:''This article discusses the Twelve Colonies of the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]]. See [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)]] for information on the Colonies of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]].''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Bsyashuman.jpg|thumb|Caprica, shortly before its downfall. ([[The Plan]])]]<br />
<br />
'''The Twelve Colonies of Kobol''' are twelve distinct worlds, located in a remote part of their home galaxy. For about 2,000 years they were home to the human survivors of the Exodus of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]].<br />
<br />
After the settlement, the colonies slowly began to prosper and eventually gave birth to a race of cybernetic lifeforms, known as [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylons]]. Soon after their creation the Cylons raged a devastating war on their creators' home planets which ultimately led to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].<br />
<br />
Wasted and in ruins, the once prosperous home worlds of humanity are finally left to themselves. What becomes of them is unknown to their inhabitants' descendants. <br />
{{RDM twelve colonies series}}<br />
<br />
==Star System==<br />
The Twelve Colonies of Kobol are located in the star system Cyrannus.<ref>''Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine''; "Encyclopedia Galactica"; issue #3; page 51</ref><br />
<br />
During the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]] one [[Hybrid]] indicates that the Colonies orbit three stars ([[The Plan]]). It is also known that at least some of the Colonies share their orbits ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]], TV version). <br />
<br />
While [[Elosha]] states that the Tribes settled onto "twelve worlds", the exact definition of "world" remains ambiguous. Although the Colonies are defined as independent, habitable celestial bodies, it is not known, whether they only include major planets or other astronomical objects such as moons, minor planets or even asteroids.<br />
<br />
Prior to their destruction, the Twelve Colonies have approximately 50 billion inhabitants ([[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]). <br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
* The fact, that the Colonies are located within one system originates from a [http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/archives/2005/01/#a000016 blog entry] by Ronald D. Moore.<br />
* Jane Espenson revealed on Twitter that the Colonies are within a star cluster and share some orbits. The latter fact was finally shown to be true in the TV version of the [[Caprica pilot#Differences between the DVD and TV Cut | series premiere]] of ''Caprica''.<br />
* According to [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/9489713649 Serge's Twitter Account] the Colonies orbit four stars in a star cluster, one of which is [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8704838501 described] as an "outlier". Also, some of the worlds (such as [[Aquaria]]) are barely inhabitable.<br />
* The original Miniseries script stated a population of about 12 billion. The webisodes "[[The Resistance]]" stated the death of 20 billion people caused by the Cylons.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{mainarticle|History of the Twelve Colonies}}<br />
[[Image:Home pt1-Kobol.jpg|thumb|[[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]], the ancient homeworld of humanity.]]<br />
About 2,000 years prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], the last twelve tribes of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] left their planet<ref>According to dialogue from "[[Torn]]", "[[A Measure of Salvation]]" and "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] left Kobol some 2,000 years ''before'' the twelve tribes. The Scroll of [[Pythia]] is dated as written 3,600 years before the last exodus of Kobol, and chronicles the Thirteenth Tribe's exodus.</ref> over conflicts with their [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Lords of Kobol|gods]], as well as some sort of calamity ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
The tribes settled on twelve worlds some distance away ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]). The tribes' namesakes and icons originally corresponded to the twelve signs of the ancient tribes, although these [[wikipedia:Zodiac|names]] drifted over time<ref>Flag matches with Colonies from "Encyclopedia Galactica." [[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine]]. Feb./Mar. 2006: 50-55.</ref> ([[Home, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
The early Colonies lived (and fought) more as sovereign nations. Some (particularly [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]) prospered, while others (such as [[Sagittaron]] and [[Aerilon]]) were often considered lessers. For peacetime labor forces as well as for wars between each other, humanity created the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]]. When these [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|early models]] rebelled, the Colonies unified their governments under the [[Articles of Colonization]] sometime before or during the [[Cylon War]] as a federal republic known as the '''Twelve Colonies of Kobol'''. <br />
<br />
The official symbol of the Twelve Colonies was the [[Colonial seal]]. The nation also had a distinctive [[Colonial anthem|anthem]].<br />
<br />
===Downfall===<br />
{{mainarticle|Fall of the Twelve Colonies}}<br />
40 years after the end of the devastating war, the Cylons return and cause havoc among the twelve worlds of their creators ([[Miniseries]], "[[The Plan]]"). For some time the Colonies remain occupied by Cylon forces and a [[Caprica resistance|small group of human survivors]]. After nine months, humanity and the Cylons leave the twelve worlds for good ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
Of the original 50 billion inhabitants, only about 55,000 survive the first days of the holocaust. Most of them leave the Colonies behind in two small [[The Fleet (RDM)|fugitive fleets]]. The fleet of the [[Battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (RDM) | Galactica]]'' eventually encounters both [[Kobol]], as well as the original Thirteenth Colony [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]. Some time after that, and after the destruction of the [[The Colony|the Cylon home world]], they settle on a [[Earth (RDM)#A New Earth|beautiful, rich world]], leaving behind the baggage of their Colonial heritage. ([[Miniseries]], "[[Razor]]", "[[Daybreak, Part II]]")<br />
<br />
===Fate===<br />
<br />
The ultimate fate of the Twelve Colonies 150,000 years after [[The Fall]] is unknown. Presumably, after several hundred years, their climates and surfaces would degrade until they resemble the original [[Earth]]. <br />
<br />
It can be presumed that by the present-day radiation levels would have lowered past the point in which life would be allowed to flourish once again. However, little, if any traces would remain of the human civilizations that once thrived upon them, excluding remains in space, such as the remnants of [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]] or [[Ragnar Anchorage]].<br />
<br />
==Aerilon==<br />
<br />
{{mainarticle|Aerilon}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors7.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Aerilon]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Aries (constellation)|Aries]]<br />
<br />
Aerilon was primarily an agricultural world. It was considered to be the "food basket" of the Twelve Colonies and ranked among its poorest members. <br />
<br />
The mannerisms of Aerilon's natives were considered rough and rude, at least by [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprican]] standards. The people of this world also spoke with a distinctive accent that was quite hard to cover up ([[Dirty Hands]]).<br />
<br />
One of the very last [[Pyramid (RDM) | Pyramid]] games occurred on Aerilon, right before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] ([[Resistance]]). A [[Lest We Forget|photograph]], showcasing the destruction of Aerilon's capital, becomes one of the most memorable documents of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies within [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] ([[33]], deleted scene).<br />
<br />
=== Natives ===<br />
* [[Gaius Baltar | Gaius]] and [[Julius Baltar]]<br />
* [[Sherry Bennett]]<br />
* [[Sekou Hamilton]]<br />
* [[Socinus]]<br />
<br />
=== Notes ===<br />
* On some occasions this colony's name was also spelled '''Aerelon'''. Battlestar Wiki uses the more commonly found '''Aerilon'''. There is a similar discrepancy in the pronunciation of the colony's name. <br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />
<br />
==Aquaria==<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors12.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Aquaria]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Aquarius (constellation)|Aquarius]]<br />
<br />
Aquaria was widely known for its vast oceans ([[The Plan]]). <br />
<br />
Its first [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]] delegate within the [[The Fleet (RDM) | fugitive Fleet]], [[Miksa Burian]], votes for [[Tom Zarek]] in the vice-presidential elections ([[Colonial Day]]).<br />
<br />
=== Notes ===<br />
* On many occasions this colony's name was also spelled '''Aquarion'''. However, the name '''Aquaria''' was heard on screen during the Hybid's monologue in "[[The Plan]]".<ref>Serge's [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8704063822 Twitter account] states that both names are viable, with Aquarion being the official name and Aquaria a regional variation.</ref><br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />
<br />
==Canceron==<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors9.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Canceron]]<br />
[[Image:Canceron.png|thumb|left|Canceron from orbit ([[The Plan]]).]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Cancer (constellation)|Cancer]]<br />
<br />
The planet was well known for its beaches and had at least one large coastal metropolis. <br />
<br />
One of the [[Luxury liner | passenger liners]] within [[The Fleet (RDM)|the fleet]], ''[[Pyxis]]'', is one of the last ships that escapes this world when the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] began. Aboard is the [[Number Six]] copy [[Shelly Godfrey]] ([[The Plan]]).<br />
<br />
[[Robin Wenutu]] is the Canceron delegate to the first [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]] after the Fall.<br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />
<br />
==Caprica==<br />
{{mainarticle|Caprica (RDM)}}<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors3.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Caprica]]<br />
[[Image:Caprica from Orbit.jpg|left|thumb|[[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] from orbit ([[Daybreak, Part I]]).]] <br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[w:Capricornus|Capricorn]]<br />
<br />
Caprica was a lush blue-green planet, covered by large oceans and continents. It shared its orbit with another arid and desertic world ([[Caprica pilot|Caprica Pilot]], TV version - see notes). Metropolitan areas on the planet included the capital [[Caprica City]], as well as [[Delphi]].<br />
<br />
Caprica was regarded as the center of Colonial civilization, even long before the [[First Cylon War]]. [[Graystone Industries]] was one of the Colonies most influential technology developers and had a hand in creating the very [[U-87 | first Cylons]]. Some 60 years before [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | the Fall]], Caprica was also plagued by [[Soldiers of the One | religious]] motivated terrorism ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]).<br />
<br />
After the war, the planet was once again the seat of politics, culture, art, science, learning and even the Colonial government. It was also one of the wealthiest colonies ("[[Epiphanies]]", "[[Dirty Hands]]").<br />
<br />
During the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]] Caprica comes under heavy bombardment by Cylon forces. At least four [[Battlestar (RDM) | battlestars]] are destroyed in its orbit and Caprica City is annihilated in a nuclear explosion ([[Miniseries]], "[[The Plan]]").<br />
<br />
After the Fall of Mankind, Caprica is occupied by [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylon forces]]. Some of the few remaining [[Caprica resistance|human survivors]] within the Colonies fight on this world for several weeks ("[[33]]", "[[Resistance]]", "[[The Plan]]"). The occupation and resistance both end roughly nine months after the attack and the planet is left for good ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). <br />
<br />
6,250 people from Caprica join the [[Laura Roslin faction]] over [[Kobol (RDM) | Kobol]] ([[Home, Part I]]). The overall Caprican survivor population, possibly significantly greater, is unknown (see analysis [[The Fleet (RDM)#Demographics|here]]). An attempted settlement by the survivors of the holocaust is named [[New Caprica]] in honor of the original colony ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
The first [[Quorum of Twelve]] delegate after the Fall is [[Gaius Baltar]]. Years later this spot is taken by [[Lee Adama]]. <br />
<br />
===Natives===<br />
* [[William Adama | William]], [[Tamara Adama | Tamara]], [[Zak Adama | Zak]] and [[Lee Adama]]<br />
* [[Richard Adar]], presumed as he was also the mayor of Caprica City at one point<br />
* [[Daniel Graystone | Daniel]], [[Amanda Graystone | Amanda]] and [[Zoe Graystone]]<br />
* [[Lacy Rand]] and her family<br />
* [[Laura Roslin | Laura]], [[Cheryl Roslin | Cheryl]] and [[Sandra Roslin]], as well as their parents<br />
* [[Ben Stark]] and his mother, [[Natalie Stark | Natalie]]<br />
* [[Kara Thrace | Kara]], [[Socrata Thrace | Socrata]] and (presumably) [[Dreilide Thrace]]<br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
* Caprica was and continues to be the world most prominently depicted in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM) | re-imagined series' continuity]]. It wasn't until [[Razor]] that another of the Twelve Colonies was actually seen on screen. <br />
* According to [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8705440343 Sege's Twitter Account], Caprica shares its orbit with [[Gemenon]].<br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />
<br />
==Gemenon==<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors5.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Gemenon]]<br />
[[Image:Gemenon.JPG|thumb|left|Gemenon from orbit ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot, TV version]]).]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Gemini (constellation)|Gemini]]<br />
<br />
Gemenon was an arid and xeric red world that shared its orbit with [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]], TV version - see notes). It was one of the poorer colonies and known for its religious fundamentalism ("[[Home, Part I]]", "[[Dirty Hands]]"). <br />
<br />
Before the [[First Cylon War]], Gemenon was home to the Kobol Colleges and a monotheistic cult called "[[Soldiers of the One|The Soldiers of the One]]" ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]). <br />
<br />
The Gemenese were known for their literal interpretations of the [[Sacred Scrolls]] ([[Fragged]]). Most of the population of Gemenon was apparently very strongly opposed to the federal laws legalizing abortion ([[The Captain's Hand]]). <br />
<br />
The planet also had either an old or disused language, known as [[Language in the Twelve Colonies|Old Gemenese]] ([[Razor]]).<br />
<br />
Three months after [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|the Fall]], approximately 9,500 Gemenese join the [[Laura Roslin faction]] over [[Kobol]] ([[Home, Part I]]). The large and devoted Gemenese population continues to be an important political factor within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|fugitive fleet]] ([[The Captain's Hand]]). <br />
<br />
===Natives===<br />

*[[Sarah Porter]], former delegate to the [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]]<br />
*Corporal [[Venner]]<br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
* If the word "Inviere" (meaning "Resurrection") is any indication, Old Gemenese was probably similar to the Romanian language of [[Earth (RDM)#A New Earth|our Earth]].<br />
* According to [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8705440343 Serge's Twitter account], Gemenon shares its orbit with [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]. <br />

<br />
Libran was known for its courthouses and lawyers ([[The Plan]]), and was the home of the [[Inter-Colonial Court]] ([[Gravedancing]]). A major city on Libran was called [[Themis]], and the colony had no official Pyramid team prior to the [[First Cylon War]].<ref>[http://showblogs.syfy.com/caprican/sports/libran-needs-a-pyramid-team-statim.php ''The Caprican'' Article: "Libran Needs a Pyramid Team Statim"]</ref><br />

* The Colony's actual name, '''Libran''', was not heard on screen until "[[The Plan]]" but could already be seen on a name plate in "[[The Ties That Bind]]" and "[[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]". Before that it was often called '''Libris''' in secondary publications. <br />

'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Pisces (constellation)|Pisces]]<br />
<br />
Picon was a turquoise planet, mainly covered by water and famous for its harbors ([[The Plan]]). The capital city was Queenstown.<ref>[http://showblogs.syfy.com/caprican/lifestyle/p-is-for-paradise-p-is-for-picon.php ''The Caprican'' article: 'P' Is for 'Paradise, 'P' Is for Picon]</ref> After the Unification of the Twelve Colonies this world was the location of the [[Picon Fleet Headquarters|Colonial Fleet Headquarters]] ([[Miniseries]]). Picon was also the home of [[Picon Laboratories]], located in Pailyn, Muritolan.<br />
<br />
The colony came under heavy attack during the early stages of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]]. One of the last ships to leave the planet was the ''[[Rising Star (RDM) | Rising Star]]'', carrying many wounded people including an unconscious [[Ellen Tigh]] ([[The Plan]]).<br />
<br />
The destruction of Picon's Fleet Headquarters caused President [[Richard Adar]] to offer a complete and unconditional surrender to the [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylons]]. This offer was ignored by the invading forces ([[Miniseries]]).<br />

'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Sagittarius (constellation)|Sagittarius]]<br />
<br />
Sagittaron was one of the poorest worlds of the Twelve Colonies ([[Bastille Day]]). <br />
<br />
The Sagittarons were traditionalists who practiced a different form of religion from the other Colonials. They distrusted modern medicine and were generally unsupportive of the military ([[The Woman King]]).<br />
<br />
The Planet endured centuries of exploitation at the hands of the other Colonies. Eventually, [[Tom Zarek]] led an organized series of terrorist acts against the established government there, many years before the [[Fall of the Colonies|Fall of the Colonies]] ([[Bastille Day]]). <br />
<br />
A few days after the Cylon attack, 5,251 people from this world reside within [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] ([[33]]).<br />

'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Scorpius|Scorpio]]<br />
<br />
Scorpia was known for its lush jungles and hot temperatures ([[The Plan]]). <br />
<br />
Before the [[First Cylon War]] one of the major leisure spots of the world was Argentum Bay, despite the colony's trashy reputation.<ref>[http://showblogs.syfy.com/caprican/entertainment/argentum-bay-the-ultimate-vernal-break.php ''The Caprican'' Article: "Argentum Bay: The Ultimate Vernal Break"]</ref>. The Planet was also apparently well-known for its [[Scorpia Paragliding|Paragliding]].<br />
<br />
After the Unification, Scorpia was home to the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards|Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]]. This structure comes under heavy fire during the initial [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]], destroying five ships and causing [[Pegasus (RDM)|another one]] to risk a blind jump in order to escape ([[Razor]]).<br />

===Notes===<br />
* In an [http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/01/caprica-countdown-paula-malcolmsons-moving-away-from-deadwoods-trixie.html LA Times article], Scorpia is described as having a "scorpion tail-like half-ring". This fits Tauron's twin world that was shortly seen in "Know Thy Enemy".<br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />

==Tauron==<br />
<br />

<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors4.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Tauron]]<br />
[[Image:Tauron.png|thumb|left|Tauron from orbit ([[Razor]]).]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Taurus (constellation)|Taurus]]<br />
<br />
Tauron was a barren, arid planet that lacked any kind of flowers. However, it was well-known for its agriculture ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]). Its capital was [[Tauron City]]. The planet shared its orbit with another ringed world ([[Know Thy Enemy]] - see notes).<br />
<br />
The Tauronese were known to be very traditional people, even speaking a very old and distinctive [[Language in the Twelve Colonies | language]].<br />
<br />
Originally Tauron was one of the poorer Colonial worlds and the center of a [[Tauron Civil War|civil war]] a century before [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|the Fall]]. A few years before the [[First Cylon War]], the crime syndicate [[Ha'la'tha]] had enormous influence over the planet, which even extended to other colonies, such as [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]).<br />
<br />
During the War, the Tauron city of [[Hypatia]] was was the location of a [[Battle of Tauron|fierce and lossy battle]] against [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylon forces]] ([[Razor|Razor]], extended Edition). <br />
<br />
After the War, Tauron was known to be a somewhat troublesome colony within the [[Government of the Twelve Colonies|federal system]] of the Colonies, often disobeying directives decided by the colonies and pushing their luck with the admiralty ([[Hero]]). Yet this world was counted among the wealthier of the twelve worlds ([[Dirty Hands]]). <br />

<br />
===Notes===<br />
* The language of Tauron is remarkably similar to Ancient Greek that, thousands of years later, was spoken on [[Earth (RDM)#A New Earth | a planet]] on the other side of the galaxy. <br />
* Tauron's twin planet fits the description given to Scorpia in an [http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/01/caprica-countdown-paula-malcolmsons-moving-away-from-deadwoods-trixie.html LA Times article].<br />

<br />
Virgon was well-known for its forests ([[The Plan]]) and considered to be one of the wealthier colonies ([[Dirty Hands]]).<br />
<br />
[[Virgon Brew]] was a beer produced on the planet and exported to other Colonies ([[Maelstrom]]).<br />
<br />
Soon after the beginning of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]], the Colonials launche a counter-attack over Virgon. The battle ends with the destruction of the flagship battlestar ''[[Atlantia (RDM) | Atlantia]]'' and the resulting death of [[Nagala | Fleet Admiral Nagala]] ([[Miniseries]]). <br />
<br />
[[Marshall Bagot]] is the Virgon delegate to the first [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]]. He nominates [[Tom Zarek]] for the vice-presidency ([[Colonial Day]]). In public ceremonies, the Virgon delegate wears a light blue sash.<br />

[[Image:Bsyashuman.jpg|thumb|Caprica, shortly before its downfall. ([[The Plan]])]]<br />
<br />
'''The Twelve Colonies of Kobol''' are twelve distinct worlds, located in a remote part of their home galaxy. For about 2,000 years they were home to the human survivors of the Exodus of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]].<br />
<br />
After the settlement, the colonies slowly began to prosper and eventually gave birth to a race of cybernetic lifeforms, known as [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylons]]. Soon after their creation the Cylons raged a devastating war on their creators' home planets which ultimately led to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].<br />
<br />
Wasted and in ruins, the once prosperous home worlds of humanity are finally left to themselves. What becomes of them is unknown to their inhabitants' descendants. <br />
{{RDM twelve colonies series}}<br />
<br />
==Star System==<br />
The Twelve Colonies of Kobol are located in the star system Cyrannus.<ref>''Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine''; "Encyclopedia Galactica"; issue #3; page 51</ref><br />
<br />
During the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]] one [[Hybrid]] indicates that the Colonies orbit three stars ([[The Plan]]). It is also known that at least some of the Colonies share their orbits ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]], TV version). <br />
<br />
While [[Elosha]] states that the Tribes settled onto "twelve worlds", the exact definition of "world" remains ambiguous. Although the Colonies are defined as independent, habitable celestial bodies, it is not known, whether they only include major planets or other astronomical objects such as moons, minor planets or even asteroids.<br />
<br />
Prior to their destruction, the Twelve Colonies have approximately 50 billion inhabitants ([[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]). <br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
* The fact, that the Colonies are located within one system originates from a [http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/archives/2005/01/#a000016 blog entry] by Ronald D. Moore.<br />
* Jane Espenson revealed on Twitter that the Colonies are within a star cluster and share some orbits. The latter fact was finally shown to be true in the TV version of the [[Caprica pilot#Differences between the DVD and TV Cut | series premiere]] of ''Caprica''.<br />
* According to [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/9489713649 Serge's Twitter Account] the Colonies orbit four stars in a star cluster, one of which is [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8704838501 described] as an "outlier". Also, some of the worlds (such as [[Aquaria]]) are barely inhabitable.<br />
* The original Miniseries script stated a population of about 12 billion. The webisodes "[[The Resistance]]" stated the death of 20 billion people caused by the Cylons.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{mainarticle|History of the Twelve Colonies}}<br />
[[Image:Home pt1-Kobol.jpg|thumb|[[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]], the ancient homeworld of humanity.]]<br />
About 2,000 years prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], the last twelve tribes of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] left their planet<ref>According to dialogue from "[[Torn]]", "[[A Measure of Salvation]]" and "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] left Kobol some 2,000 years ''before'' the twelve tribes. The Scroll of [[Pythia]] is dated as written 3,600 years before the last exodus of Kobol, and chronicles the Thirteenth Tribe's exodus.</ref> over conflicts with their [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Lords of Kobol|gods]], as well as some sort of calamity ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
The tribes settled on twelve worlds some distance away ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]). The tribes' namesakes and icons originally corresponded to the twelve signs of the ancient tribes, although these [[wikipedia:Zodiac|names]] drifted over time<ref>Flag matches with Colonies from "Encyclopedia Galactica." [[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine]]. Feb./Mar. 2006: 50-55.</ref> ([[Home, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
The early Colonies lived (and fought) more as sovereign nations. Some (particularly [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]) prospered, while others (such as [[Sagittaron]] and [[Aerilon]]) were often considered lessers. For peacetime labor forces as well as for wars between each other, humanity created the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]]. When these [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|early models]] rebelled, the Colonies unified their governments under the [[Articles of Colonization]] sometime before or during the [[Cylon War]] as a federal republic known as the '''Twelve Colonies of Kobol'''. <br />
<br />
The official symbol of the Twelve Colonies was the [[Colonial seal]]. The nation also had a distinctive [[Colonial anthem|anthem]].<br />
<br />
===Downfall===<br />
{{mainarticle|Fall of the Twelve Colonies}}<br />
40 years after the end of the devastating war, the Cylons return and cause havoc among the twelve worlds of their creators ([[Miniseries]], "[[The Plan]]"). For some time the Colonies remain occupied by Cylon forces and a [[Caprica resistance|small group of human survivors]]. After nine months, humanity and the Cylons leave the twelve worlds for good ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
Of the original 50 billion inhabitants, only about 55,000 survive the first days of the holocaust. Most of them leave the Colonies behind in two small [[The Fleet (RDM)|fugitive fleets]]. The fleet of the [[Battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (RDM) | Galactica]]'' eventually encounters both [[Kobol]], as well as the original Thirteenth Colony [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]. Some time after that, and after the destruction of the [[The Colony|the Cylon home world]], they settle on a [[Earth (RDM)#A New Earth|beautiful, rich world]], leaving behind the baggage of their Colonial heritage. ([[Miniseries]], "[[Razor]]", "[[Daybreak, Part II]]")<br />
<br />
===Fate===<br />
<br />
The ultimate fate of the Twelve Colonies 150,000 years after [[The Fall]] is unknown. Presumably, after several hundred years, their climates and surfaces would degrade until they resemble the original [[Earth]]. <br />
<br />
It can be presumed that by the present-day radiation levels would have lowered past the point in which life would be allowed to flourish once again. However, little, if any traces would remain of the human civilizations that once thrived upon them, excluding remains in space, such as the remnants of [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]] or [[Ragnar Anchorage]].<br />
<br />
==Aerilon==<br />
<br />
{{mainarticle|Aerilon}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors7.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Aerilon]]<br />
[[Image:Lest we forget.jpg|thumb|left|"Lest We Forget", [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)|scene cut]] from "[[33]]"]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Aries (constellation)|Aries]]<br />
<br />
Aerilon was primarily an agricultural world. It was considered to be the "food basket" of the Twelve Colonies and ranked among its poorest members. <br />
<br />
The mannerisms of Aerilon's natives were considered rough and rude, at least by [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprican]] standards. The people of this world also spoke with a distinctive accent that was quite hard to cover up ([[Dirty Hands]]).<br />
<br />
One of the very last [[Pyramid (RDM) | Pyramid]] games occurred on Aerilon, right before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] ([[Resistance]]). A [[Lest We Forget|photograph]], showcasing the destruction of Aerilon's capital, becomes one of the most memorable documents of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies within [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] ([[33]], deleted scene).<br />

=== Notes ===<br />
* On many occasions this colony's name was also spelled '''Aquarion'''. However, the name '''Aquaria''' was heard on screen during the Hybid's monologue in "[[The Plan]]".<ref>Serge's [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8704063822 Twitter account] states that both names are viable, with Aquarion being the official name and Aquaria a regional variation.</ref><br />

[[Image:Caprica from Orbit.jpg|left|thumb|[[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] from orbit ([[Daybreak, Part I]]).]] <br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[w:Capricornus|Capricorn]]<br />
<br />
Caprica was a lush blue-green planet, covered by large oceans and continents. It shared its orbit with another arid and desertic world ([[Caprica pilot|Caprica Pilot]], TV version - see notes). Metropolitan areas on the planet included the capital [[Caprica City]], as well as [[Delphi]].<br />
<br />
Caprica was regarded as the center of Colonial civilization, even long before the [[First Cylon War]]. [[Graystone Industries]] was one of the Colonies most influential technology developers and had a hand in creating the very [[U-87 | first Cylons]]. Some 60 years before [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | the Fall]], Caprica was also plagued by [[Soldiers of the One | religious]] motivated terrorism ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]).<br />
<br />
After the war, the planet was once again the seat of politics, culture, art, science, learning and even the Colonial government. It was also one of the wealthiest colonies ("[[Epiphanies]]", "[[Dirty Hands]]").<br />
<br />
During the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]] Caprica comes under heavy bombardment by Cylon forces. At least four [[Battlestar (RDM) | battlestars]] are destroyed in its orbit and Caprica City is annihilated in a nuclear explosion ([[Miniseries]], "[[The Plan]]").<br />
<br />
After the Fall of Mankind, Caprica is occupied by [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylon forces]]. Some of the few remaining [[Caprica resistance|human survivors]] within the Colonies fight on this world for several weeks ("[[33]]", "[[Resistance]]", "[[The Plan]]"). The occupation and resistance both end roughly nine months after the attack and the planet is left for good ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). <br />
<br />
6,250 people from Caprica join the [[Laura Roslin faction]] over [[Kobol (RDM) | Kobol]] ([[Home, Part I]]). The overall Caprican survivor population, possibly significantly greater, is unknown (see analysis [[The Fleet (RDM)#Demographics|here]]). An attempted settlement by the survivors of the holocaust is named [[New Caprica]] in honor of the original colony ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
The first [[Quorum of Twelve]] delegate after the Fall is [[Gaius Baltar]]. Years later this spot is taken by [[Lee Adama]]. <br />

===Notes===<br />
* Caprica was and continues to be the world most prominently depicted in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM) | re-imagined series' continuity]]. It wasn't until [[Razor]] that another of the Twelve Colonies was actually seen on screen. <br />
* According to [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8705440343 Sege's Twitter Account], Caprica shares its orbit with [[Gemenon]].<br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />

==Gemenon==<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors5.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Gemenon]]<br />
[[Image:Gemenon.JPG|thumb|left|Gemenon from orbit ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot, TV version]]).]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Gemini (constellation)|Gemini]]<br />
<br />
Gemenon was an arid and xeric red world that shared its orbit with [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]], TV version - see notes). It was one of the poorer colonies and known for its religious fundamentalism ("[[Home, Part I]]", "[[Dirty Hands]]"). <br />
<br />
Before the [[First Cylon War]], Gemenon was home to the Kobol Colleges and a monotheistic cult called "[[Soldiers of the One|The Soldiers of the One]]" ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]). <br />
<br />
The Gemenese were known for their literal interpretations of the [[Sacred Scrolls]] ([[Fragged]]). Most of the population of Gemenon was apparently very strongly opposed to the federal laws legalizing abortion ([[The Captain's Hand]]). <br />
<br />
The planet also had either an old or disused language, known as [[Language in the Twelve Colonies|Old Gemenese]] ([[Razor]]).<br />
<br />
Three months after [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|the Fall]], approximately 9,500 Gemenese join the [[Laura Roslin faction]] over [[Kobol]] ([[Home, Part I]]). The large and devoted Gemenese population continues to be an important political factor within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|fugitive fleet]] ([[The Captain's Hand]]). <br />

<br />
===Notes===<br />
* If the word "Inviere" (meaning "Resurrection") is any indication, Old Gemenese was probably similar to the Romanian language of [[Earth (RDM)#A New Earth|our Earth]].<br />
* According to [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8705440343 Serge's Twitter account], Gemenon shares its orbit with [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]. <br />

<br />
Libran was known for its courthouses and lawyers ([[The Plan]]), and was the home of the [[Inter-Colonial Court]] ([[Gravedancing]]).

* The Colony's actual name, '''Libran''', was not heard on screen until "[[The Plan]]" but could already be seen on a name plate in "[[The Ties That Bind]]" and "[[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]". Before that it was often called '''Libris''' in secondary publications. <br />

'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Pisces (constellation)|Pisces]]<br />
<br />
Picon was a turquoise planet, mainly covered by water and famous for its harbors ([[The Plan]]). The capital city was Queenstown.<ref>[http://showblogs.syfy.com/caprican/lifestyle/p-is-for-paradise-p-is-for-picon.php ''The Caprican'' article: 'P' Is for 'Paradise, 'P' Is for Picon]</ref> After the Unification of the Twelve Colonies this world was the location of the [[Picon Fleet Headquarters|Colonial Fleet Headquarters]] ([[Miniseries]]). Picon was also the home of [[Picon Laboratories]], located in Pailyn, Muritolan.<br />
<br />
The colony came under heavy attack during the early stages of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]]. One of the last ships to leave the planet was the ''[[Rising Star (RDM) | Rising Star]]'', carrying many wounded people including an unconscious [[Ellen Tigh]] ([[The Plan]]).<br />
<br />
The destruction of Picon's Fleet Headquarters caused President [[Richard Adar]] to offer a complete and unconditional surrender to the [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylons]]. This offer was ignored by the invading forces ([[Miniseries]]).<br />

'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Sagittarius (constellation)|Sagittarius]]<br />
<br />
Sagittaron was one of the poorest worlds of the Twelve Colonies ([[Bastille Day]]). <br />
<br />
The Sagittarons were traditionalists who practiced a different form of religion from the other Colonials. They distrusted modern medicine and were generally unsupportive of the military ([[The Woman King]]).<br />
<br />
The Planet endured centuries of exploitation at the hands of the other Colonies. Eventually, [[Tom Zarek]] led an organized series of terrorist acts against the established government there, many years before the [[Fall of the Colonies|Fall of the Colonies]] ([[Bastille Day]]). <br />
<br />
A few days after the Cylon attack, 5,251 people from this world reside within [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] ([[33]]).<br />

'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Scorpius|Scorpio]]<br />
<br />
Scorpia was known for its lush jungles and hot temperatures ([[The Plan]]). <br />
<br />
Before the [[First Cylon War]] one of the major leisure spots of the world was Argentum Bay, despite the colony's trashy reputation.<ref>[http://showblogs.syfy.com/caprican/entertainment/argentum-bay-the-ultimate-vernal-break.php ''The Caprican'' Article: "Argentum Bay: The Ultimate Vernal Break"]</ref>. The Planet was also apparently well-known for its [[Scorpia Paragliding|Paragliding]].<br />
<br />
After the Unification, Scorpia was home to the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards|Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]]. This structure comes under heavy fire during the initial [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]], destroying five ships and causing [[Pegasus (RDM)|another one]] to risk a blind jump in order to escape ([[Razor]]).<br />

===Notes===<br />
* In an [http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/01/caprica-countdown-paula-malcolmsons-moving-away-from-deadwoods-trixie.html LA Times article], Scorpia is described as having a "scorpion tail-like half-ring". This fits Tauron's twin world that was shortly seen in "Know Thy Enemy".<br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />

==Tauron==<br />
<br />

<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors4.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Tauron]]<br />
[[Image:Tauron.png|thumb|left|Tauron from orbit ([[Razor]]).]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Taurus (constellation)|Taurus]]<br />
<br />
Tauron was a barren, arid planet that lacked any kind of flowers. However, it was well-known for its agriculture ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]). Its capital was [[Tauron City]]. The planet shared its orbit with another ringed world ([[Know Thy Enemy]] - see notes).<br />
<br />
The Tauronese were known to be very traditional people, even speaking a very old and distinctive [[Language in the Twelve Colonies | language]].<br />
<br />
Originally Tauron was one of the poorer Colonial worlds and the center of a [[Tauron Civil War|civil war]] a century before [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|the Fall]]. A few years before the [[First Cylon War]], the crime syndicate [[Ha'la'tha]] had enormous influence over the planet, which even extended to other colonies, such as [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]).<br />
<br />
During the War, the Tauron city of [[Hypatia]] was was the location of a [[Battle of Tauron|fierce and lossy battle]] against [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylon forces]] ([[Razor|Razor]], extended Edition). <br />
<br />
After the War, Tauron was known to be a somewhat troublesome colony within the [[Government of the Twelve Colonies|federal system]] of the Colonies, often disobeying directives decided by the colonies and pushing their luck with the admiralty ([[Hero]]). Yet this world was counted among the wealthier of the twelve worlds ([[Dirty Hands]]). <br />

<br />
===Notes===<br />
* The language of Tauron is remarkably similar to Ancient Greek that, thousands of years later, was spoken on [[Earth (RDM)#A New Earth | a planet]] on the other side of the galaxy. <br />
* Tauron's twin planet fits the description given to Scorpia in an [http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/01/caprica-countdown-paula-malcolmsons-moving-away-from-deadwoods-trixie.html LA Times article].<br />

'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Virgo (constellation)|Virgo]]<br />
<br />
Virgon was well-known for its forests ([[The Plan]]) and considered to be one of the wealthier colonies ([[Dirty Hands]]).<br />
<br />
[[Virgon Brew]] was a beer produced on the planet and exported to other Colonies ([[Maelstrom]]).<br />
<br />
Soon after the beginning of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]], the Colonials launche a counter-attack over Virgon. The battle ends with the destruction of the flagship battlestar ''[[Atlantia (RDM) | Atlantia]]'' and the resulting death of [[Nagala | Fleet Admiral Nagala]] ([[Miniseries]]). <br />
<br />
[[Marshall Bagot]] is the Virgon delegate to the first [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]]. He nominates [[Tom Zarek]] for the vice-presidency ([[Colonial Day]]). In public ceremonies, the Virgon delegate wears a light blue sash.<br />

[[Image:Bsyashuman.jpg|thumb|Caprica, shortly before its downfall. ([[The Plan]])]]<br />
<br />
'''The Twelve Colonies of Kobol''' are twelve distinct worlds, located in a remote part of their home galaxy. For about 2,000 years they were home to the human survivors of the Exodus of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]].<br />
<br />
After the settlement, the colonies slowly began to prosper and eventually gave birth to a race of cybernetic lifeforms, known as [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylons]]. Soon after their creation the Cylons raged a devastating war on their creators' home planets which ultimately led to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].<br />
<br />
Wasted and in ruins, the once prosperous home worlds of humanity are finally left to themselves. What becomes of them is unknown to their inhabitants' descendants. <br />
{{RDM twelve colonies series}}<br />
<br />
==Star System==<br />
The Twelve Colonies of Kobol are located in the star system Cyrannus.<ref>''Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine''; "Encyclopedia Galactica"; issue #3; page 51</ref><br />
<br />
During the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]] one [[Hybrid]] indicates that the Colonies orbit three stars ([[The Plan]]). It is also known that at least some of the Colonies share their orbits ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]], TV version). <br />
<br />
While [[Elosha]] states that the Tribes settled onto "twelve worlds", the exact definition of "world" remains ambiguous. Although the Colonies are defined as independent, habitable celestial bodies, it is not known, whether they only include major planets or other astronomical objects such as moons, minor planets or even asteroids.<br />
<br />
Prior to their destruction, the Twelve Colonies have approximately 50 billion inhabitants ([[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]). <br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
* The fact, that the Colonies are located within one system originates from a [http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/archives/2005/01/#a000016 blog entry] by Ronald D. Moore.<br />
* Jane Espenson revealed on Twitter that the Colonies are within a star cluster and share some orbits. The latter fact was finally shown to be true in the TV version of the [[Caprica pilot#Differences between the DVD and TV Cut | series premiere]] of ''Caprica''.<br />
* According to [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/9489713649 Serge's Twitter Account] the Colonies orbit four stars in a star cluster, one of which is [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8704838501 described] as an "outlier". Also, some of the worlds (such as [[Aquaria]]) are barely inhabitable.<br />
* The original Miniseries script stated a population of about 12 billion. The webisodes "[[The Resistance]]" stated the death of 20 billion people caused by the Cylons.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{mainarticle|History of the Twelve Colonies}}<br />
[[Image:Home pt1-Kobol.jpg|thumb|[[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]], the ancient homeworld of humanity.]]<br />
About 2,000 years prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], the last twelve tribes of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] left their planet<ref>According to dialogue from "[[Torn]]", "[[A Measure of Salvation]]" and "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] left Kobol some 2,000 years ''before'' the twelve tribes. The Scroll of [[Pythia]] is dated as written 3,600 years before the last exodus of Kobol, and chronicles the Thirteenth Tribe's exodus.</ref> over conflicts with their [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Lords of Kobol|gods]], as well as some sort of calamity ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
The tribes settled on twelve worlds some distance away ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]). The tribes' namesakes and icons originally corresponded to the twelve signs of the ancient tribes, although these [[wikipedia:Zodiac|names]] drifted over time<ref>Flag matches with Colonies from "Encyclopedia Galactica." [[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine]]. Feb./Mar. 2006: 50-55.</ref> ([[Home, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
The early Colonies lived (and fought) more as sovereign nations. Some (particularly [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]) prospered, while others (such as [[Sagittaron]] and [[Aerilon]]) were often considered lessers. For peacetime labor forces as well as for wars between each other, humanity created the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]]. When these [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|early models]] rebelled, the Colonies unified their governments under the [[Articles of Colonization]] sometime before or during the [[Cylon War]] as a federal republic known as the '''Twelve Colonies of Kobol'''. <br />
<br />
The official symbol of the Twelve Colonies was the [[Colonial seal]]. The nation also had a distinctive [[Colonial anthem|anthem]].<br />
<br />
===Downfall===<br />
{{mainarticle|Fall of the Twelve Colonies}}<br />
40 years after the end of the devastating war, the Cylons return and cause havoc among the twelve worlds of their creators ([[Miniseries]], "[[The Plan]]"). For some time the Colonies remain occupied by Cylon forces and a [[Caprica resistance|small group of human survivors]]. After nine months, humanity and the Cylons leave the twelve worlds for good ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
Of the original 50 billion inhabitants, only about 55,000 survive the first days of the holocaust. Most of them leave the Colonies behind in two small [[The Fleet (RDM)|fugitive fleets]]. The fleet of the [[Battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (RDM) | Galactica]]'' eventually encounters both [[Kobol]], as well as the original Thirteenth Colony [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]. Some time after that, and after the destruction of the [[The Colony|the Cylon home world]], they settle on a [[Earth (RDM)#A New Earth|beautiful, rich world]], leaving behind the baggage of their Colonial heritage. ([[Miniseries]], "[[Razor]]", "[[Daybreak, Part II]]")<br />
<br />
===Fate===<br />
<br />
The ultimate fate of the Twelve Colonies 150,000 years after [[The Fall]] is unknown. Presumably, after several hundred years, their climates and surfaces would degrade until they resemble the original [[Earth]]. <br />
<br />
It can be presumed that by the present-day radiation levels would have lowered past the point in which life would be allowed to flourish once again. However, little, if any traces would remain of the human civilizations that once thrived upon them, excluding remains in space, such as the remnants of [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]] or [[Ragnar Anchorage]].<br />
<br />
==Aerilon==<br />
<br />
{{mainarticle|Aerilon}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors7.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Aerilon]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Aries (constellation)|Aries]]<br />
<br />
Aerilon was primarily an agricultural world. It was considered to be the "food basket" of the Twelve Colonies and ranked among its poorest members. <br />
<br />
The mannerisms of Aerilon's natives were considered rough and rude, at least by [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprican]] standards. The people of this world also spoke with a distinctive accent that was quite hard to cover up ([[Dirty Hands]]).<br />
<br />
One of the very last [[Pyramid (RDM) | Pyramid]] games occurred on Aerilon, right before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] ([[Resistance]]). A [[Lest We Forget|photograph]], showcasing the destruction of Aerilon's capital, becomes one of the most memorable documents of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies within [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] ([[33]], deleted scene).<br />

=== Notes ===<br />
* On some occasions this colony's name was also spelled '''Aerelon'''. Battlestar Wiki uses the more commonly found '''Aerilon'''. There is a similar discrepancy in the pronunciation of the colony's name. <br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />
<br />
==Aquaria==<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors12.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Aquaria]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Aquarius (constellation)|Aquarius]]<br />
<br />
Aquaria was widely known for its vast oceans ([[The Plan]]). <br />
<br />
Its first [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]] delegate within the [[The Fleet (RDM) | fugitive Fleet]], [[Miksa Burian]], votes for [[Tom Zarek]] in the vice-presidential elections ([[Colonial Day]]).<br />
<br />
=== Notes ===<br />
* On many occasions this colony's name was also spelled '''Aquarion'''. However, the name '''Aquaria''' was heard on screen during the Hybid's monologue in "[[The Plan]]".<ref>Serge's [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8704063822 Twitter account] states that both names are viable, with Aquarion being the official name and Aquaria a regional variation.</ref><br />

<br />
The planet was well known for its beaches and had at least one large coastal metropolis. <br />
<br />
One of the [[Luxury liner | passenger liners]] within [[The Fleet (RDM)|the fleet]], ''[[Pyxis]]'', is one of the last ships that escapes this world when the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] began. Aboard is the [[Number Six]] copy [[Shelly Godfrey]] ([[The Plan]]).<br />
<br />
[[Robin Wenutu]] is the Canceron delegate to the first [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]] after the Fall.<br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />
<br />
==Caprica==<br />
{{mainarticle|Caprica (RDM)}}<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors3.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Caprica]]<br />
[[Image:Caprica from Orbit.jpg|left|thumb|[[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] from orbit ([[Daybreak, Part I]]).]] <br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[w:Capricornus|Capricorn]]<br />
<br />
Caprica was a lush blue-green planet, covered by large oceans and continents. It shared its orbit with another arid and desertic world ([[Caprica pilot|Caprica Pilot]], TV version - see notes). Metropolitan areas on the planet included the capital [[Caprica City]], as well as [[Delphi]].<br />
<br />
Caprica was regarded as the center of Colonial civilization, even long before the [[First Cylon War]]. [[Graystone Industries]] was one of the Colonies most influential technology developers and had a hand in creating the very [[U-87 | first Cylons]]. Some 60 years before [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | the Fall]], Caprica was also plagued by [[Soldiers of the One | religious]] motivated terrorism ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]).<br />
<br />
After the war, the planet was once again the seat of politics, culture, art, science, learning and even the Colonial government. It was also one of the wealthiest colonies ("[[Epiphanies]]", "[[Dirty Hands]]").<br />
<br />
During the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]] Caprica comes under heavy bombardment by Cylon forces. At least four [[Battlestar (RDM) | battlestars]] are destroyed in its orbit and Caprica City is annihilated in a nuclear explosion ([[Miniseries]], "[[The Plan]]").<br />
<br />
After the Fall of Mankind, Caprica is occupied by [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylon forces]]. Some of the few remaining [[Caprica resistance|human survivors]] within the Colonies fight on this world for several weeks ("[[33]]", "[[Resistance]]", "[[The Plan]]"). The occupation and resistance both end roughly nine months after the attack and the planet is left for good ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). <br />
<br />
6,250 people from Caprica join the [[Laura Roslin faction]] over [[Kobol (RDM) | Kobol]] ([[Home, Part I]]). The overall Caprican survivor population, possibly significantly greater, is unknown (see analysis [[The Fleet (RDM)#Demographics|here]]). An attempted settlement by the survivors of the holocaust is named [[New Caprica]] in honor of the original colony ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
The first [[Quorum of Twelve]] delegate after the Fall is [[Gaius Baltar]]. Years later this spot is taken by [[Lee Adama]]. <br />

<br />
===Notes===<br />
* Caprica was and continues to be the world most prominently depicted in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM) | re-imagined series' continuity]]. It wasn't until [[Razor]] that another of the Twelve Colonies was actually seen on screen. <br />
* According to [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8705440343 Sege's Twitter Account], Caprica shares its orbit with [[Gemenon]].<br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />
<br />
==Gemenon==<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors5.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Gemenon]]<br />
[[Image:Gemenon.JPG|thumb|left|Gemenon from orbit ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot, TV version]]).]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Gemini (constellation)|Gemini]]<br />
<br />
Gemenon was an arid and xeric red world that shared its orbit with [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]], TV version - see notes). It was one of the poorer colonies and known for its religious fundamentalism ("[[Home, Part I]]", "[[Dirty Hands]]"). <br />
<br />
Before the [[First Cylon War]], Gemenon was home to the Kobol Colleges and a monotheistic cult called "[[Soldiers of the One|The Soldiers of the One]]" ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]). <br />
<br />
The Gemenese were known for their literal interpretations of the [[Sacred Scrolls]] ([[Fragged]]). Most of the population of Gemenon was apparently very strongly opposed to the federal laws legalizing abortion ([[The Captain's Hand]]). <br />
<br />
The planet also had either an old or disused language, known as [[Language in the Twelve Colonies|Old Gemenese]] ([[Razor]]).<br />
<br />
Three months after [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|the Fall]], approximately 9,500 Gemenese join the [[Laura Roslin faction]] over [[Kobol]] ([[Home, Part I]]). The large and devoted Gemenese population continues to be an important political factor within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|fugitive fleet]] ([[The Captain's Hand]]). <br />

<br />
===Notes===<br />
* If the word "Inviere" (meaning "Resurrection") is any indication, Old Gemenese was probably similar to the Romanian language of [[Earth (RDM)#A New Earth|our Earth]].<br />
* According to [http://twitter.com/SergeGraystone/status/8705440343 Serge's Twitter account], Gemenon shares its orbit with [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]. <br />

<br />
Libran was known for its courthouses and lawyers ([[The Plan]]), and was the home of the [[Inter-Colonial Court]] ([[Gravedancing]]). A major city on Libran was called [[Themis]], and the colony had no official Pyramid team prior to the [[First Cylon War]].<ref>[http://showblogs.syfy.com/caprican/sports/libran-needs-a-pyramid-team-statim.php ''The Caprican'' Article: "Libran Needs a Pyramid Team Statim"]</ref><br />

* The Colony's actual name, '''Libran''', was not heard on screen until "[[The Plan]]" but could already be seen on a name plate in "[[The Ties That Bind]]" and "[[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]". Before that it was often called '''Libris''' in secondary publications. <br />

[[Image:Picon.png|thumb|left|Picon from orbit ([[The Plan]]).]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Pisces (constellation)|Pisces]]<br />
<br />
Picon was a turquoise planet, mainly covered by water and famous for its harbors ([[The Plan]]). The capital city was Queenstown.<ref>[http://showblogs.syfy.com/caprican/lifestyle/p-is-for-paradise-p-is-for-picon.php ''The Caprican'' article: 'P' Is for 'Paradise, 'P' Is for Picon]</ref> After the Unification of the Twelve Colonies this world was the location of the [[Picon Fleet Headquarters|Colonial Fleet Headquarters]] ([[Miniseries]]). Picon was also the home of [[Picon Laboratories]], located in Pailyn, Muritolan.<br />
<br />
The colony came under heavy attack during the early stages of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]]. One of the last ships to leave the planet was the ''[[Rising Star (RDM) | Rising Star]]'', carrying many wounded people including an unconscious [[Ellen Tigh]] ([[The Plan]]).<br />
<br />
The destruction of Picon's Fleet Headquarters caused President [[Richard Adar]] to offer a complete and unconditional surrender to the [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylons]]. This offer was ignored by the invading forces ([[Miniseries]]).<br />

<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors10.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Sagittaron]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Sagittarius (constellation)|Sagittarius]]<br />
<br />
Sagittaron was one of the poorest worlds of the Twelve Colonies ([[Bastille Day]]). <br />
<br />
The Sagittarons were traditionalists who practiced a different form of religion from the other Colonials. They distrusted modern medicine and were generally unsupportive of the military ([[The Woman King]]).<br />
<br />
The Planet endured centuries of exploitation at the hands of the other Colonies. Eventually, [[Tom Zarek]] led an organized series of terrorist acts against the established government there, many years before the [[Fall of the Colonies|Fall of the Colonies]] ([[Bastille Day]]). <br />
<br />
A few days after the Cylon attack, 5,251 people from this world reside within [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] ([[33]]).<br />

===Notes===<br />
* The colony's name was originally spelled as "Sagittar'''i'''on" in the [[Miniseries]], but this changed to '''Sagittaron''' when the regular series began.<br />

==Scorpia==<br />
[[Image:ScorpionFleetShipyards1.jpg|thumb|left|Scorpia and and its shipyards from orbit ([[Razor]]).]]<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors6.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Scorpia]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Scorpius|Scorpio]]<br />
<br />
Scorpia was known for its lush jungles and hot temperatures ([[The Plan]]). <br />
<br />
Before the [[First Cylon War]] one of the major leisure spots of the world was Argentum Bay, despite the colony's trashy reputation.<ref>[http://showblogs.syfy.com/caprican/entertainment/argentum-bay-the-ultimate-vernal-break.php ''The Caprican'' Article: "Argentum Bay: The Ultimate Vernal Break"]</ref>. The Planet was also apparently well-known for its [[Scorpia Paragliding|Paragliding]].<br />
<br />
After the Unification, Scorpia was home to the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards|Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]]. This structure comes under heavy fire during the initial [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]], destroying five ships and causing [[Pegasus (RDM)|another one]] to risk a blind jump in order to escape ([[Razor]]).<br />
<br />
[[Eladio Puasha]] serves as the planet's delegate to the first [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]] assembled after the Fall.<br />
<div style="clear:both;"></div><br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
* In an [http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/01/caprica-countdown-paula-malcolmsons-moving-away-from-deadwoods-trixie.html LA Times article], Scorpia is described as having a "scorpion tail-like half-ring". This fits Tauron's twin world that was shortly seen in "Know Thy Enemy".<br />
<br style="clear:both;"><br />
<br />
==Tauron==<br />
<br />
{{mainarticle|Tauron (RDM)}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors4.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Tauron]]<br />
[[Image:Tauron.png|thumb|left|Tauron from orbit ([[Razor]]).]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Taurus (constellation)|Taurus]]<br />
<br />
Tauron was a barren, arid planet that lacked any kind of flowers. However, it was well-known for its agriculture ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]). Its capital was [[Tauron City]]. The planet shared its orbit with another ringed world ([[Know Thy Enemy]] - see notes).<br />
<br />
The Tauronese were known to be very traditional people, even speaking a very old and distinctive [[Language in the Twelve Colonies | language]].<br />
<br />
Originally Tauron was one of the poorer Colonial worlds and the center of a [[Tauron Civil War|civil war]] a century before [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|the Fall]]. A few years before the [[First Cylon War]], the crime syndicate [[Ha'la'tha]] had enormous influence over the planet, which even extended to other colonies, such as [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' Pilot]]).<br />
<br />
During the War, the Tauron city of [[Hypatia]] was was the location of a [[Battle of Tauron|fierce and lossy battle]] against [[Cylons (RDM) | Cylon forces]] ([[Razor|Razor]], extended Edition). <br />
<br />
After the War, Tauron was known to be a somewhat troublesome colony within the [[Government of the Twelve Colonies|federal system]] of the Colonies, often disobeying directives decided by the colonies and pushing their luck with the admiralty ([[Hero]]). Yet this world was counted among the wealthier of the twelve worlds ([[Dirty Hands]]). <br />
<br />
===Natives===<br />
* [[Joseph Adama | Joseph]] and [[Sam Adama]]<br />
* [[Shannon Adama]] and her mother, [[Ruth]]<br />
* [[Helena Cain]] and her murdered family<br />
* [[Tomas Vergis]]<br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
* The language of Tauron is remarkably similar to Ancient Greek that, thousands of years later, was spoken on [[Earth (RDM)#A New Earth | a planet]] on the other side of the galaxy. <br />
* Tauron's twin planet fits the description given to Scorpia in an [http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/01/caprica-countdown-paula-malcolmsons-moving-away-from-deadwoods-trixie.html LA Times article].<br />

==Virgon==<br />
[[Image:ColonialColors1.png|thumb|100px|right|Colors and symbol of Virgon]]<br />
[[Image:Virgon.png|thumb|left|An urban centre on Virgon ([[The Plan]]).]]<br />
'''Ancient Name''': [[wikipedia:Virgo (constellation)|Virgo]]<br />
<br />
Virgon was well-known for its forests ([[The Plan]]) and considered to be one of the wealthier colonies ([[Dirty Hands]]).<br />
<br />
[[Virgon Brew]] was a beer produced on the planet and exported to other Colonies ([[Maelstrom]]).<br />
<br />
Soon after the beginning of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies | Cylon attack]], the Colonials launche a counter-attack over Virgon. The battle ends with the destruction of the flagship battlestar ''[[Atlantia (RDM) | Atlantia]]'' and the resulting death of [[Nagala | Fleet Admiral Nagala]] ([[Miniseries]]). <br />
<br />
[[Marshall Bagot]] is the Virgon delegate to the first [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]]. He nominates [[Tom Zarek]] for the vice-presidency ([[Colonial Day]]). In public ceremonies, the Virgon delegate wears a light blue sash.<br />

<hr />
<div>:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''<br />
<br />
:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]<br />
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.<br />
<br />
Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".<br />
<br />
A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.<br />
<br />
Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.<br />
<br />
It shoud be noted the combat experience of the pilots. Which can be seen in the [[Battle of the Colony]] in which they were outnumbered at least 4 to 1 and lost only 4 Vipers and 7 Raptors which were abandoned and destroyed by the Cylons.<br />
<br />
A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.<br />

This is a listing of pilots and callsigns derived from the nameplates that were auctioned off. These nameplates were either used on the Vipers in the background or made for the production, and thus may or may never have been seen on-screen.

== Homages to real persons ==<br />
<br />
The following pilots are homages to people working on the show or related to its production. Since they may only exist in behind-the-scenes photos and not featured on screen, they don't necessarily exist within the show's continuity.<br />

== Non-Canon ==<br />
<br />
This is a list of names of pilots who have been identified as not being in the series canon, based on the following conditions:<br />
<br />
# The name is derived from a nameplate that was production made, and;<br />
# The name directly contradicts known, established canon.<br />

== Change the site over... ==<br />
<br />
Hey Joe, sorry if im being an annoyance, but I am concerned about the Battlestar Pegasus site:<br />
<br />
"Mercer, the site is now up. However, I do have plans to change the website over, since it never really lifted off as well as I'd hoped. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 18:29, 15 September 2009 (UTC) "<br />
<br />
I was wondering what you meant by this. I know I am one of the few users who uses it, but I have put alot of time and energy into the articles, ship files, character files, corporation files, and soon some technology files, AND my fanfiction as well. I would hate to see this go, and I am just wondering what your position on this is, and I just want to touch base with you on this. <br />
<br />
Thanks, <br />
<br />
Mercer<br />
<br />
--[[User:Mercer|Mercer]] 23:33, 27 September 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: I've yet to finalize my plans / roadmap for the website, however none of the existing content will be adversely affected. So the content is safe, and there will always be a wiki component to it. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 23:38, 27 September 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, I understand now. I thought by "change the website over" you meant take it down or something, but it seems you mean to change aspects of it. If it does so happen that you wish to remove it, PLEASE contact me and let me know at drew.shoemaker@gmail.com <br />
<br />
Again, thanks for all of your responses and clarification on this matter...<br />

== I might have screwed up ==<br />
<br />
I think I might have screwed up.<br />
<br />
I've just posted this new page after I failed to find anything specific to this officer by searching by his call sign:<br />
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/%22Shooter%22<br />
<br />
However, after some thought I looked again and but asked for his specific task instead. Then I found this:<br />
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Unnamed_Galactica_and_Pegasus_crew_%28RDM%29#Launch_Officer<br />
<br />
What should I do?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />
Jeff<br />
<br />
: Don't worry much about it. I changed your article to redirect to the Launch Officer listing in the unnamed crew article. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 02:14, 15 December 2009 (UTC)<br />

== Cubit Related Images ==<br />
<br />
I have tried from 4 different computers at 4 different locations to view the "Related Images" section towards the bottom of the page. Each time a 100 cubit note pops up for about 5 seconds and then it vanishes. After that I am unable to see any of the pics in this section. Why? Is there some special kind of trick I need to use? Please help?<br />

== Change the site over... ==<br />
<br />
Hey Joe, sorry if im being an annoyance, but I am concerned about the Battlestar Pegasus site:<br />
<br />
"Mercer, the site is now up. However, I do have plans to change the website over, since it never really lifted off as well as I'd hoped. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 18:29, 15 September 2009 (UTC) "<br />
<br />
I was wondering what you meant by this. I know I am one of the few users who uses it, but I have put alot of time and energy into the articles, ship files, character files, corporation files, and soon some technology files, AND my fanfiction as well. I would hate to see this go, and I am just wondering what your position on this is, and I just want to touch base with you on this. <br />
<br />
Thanks, <br />
<br />
Mercer<br />

: I've yet to finalize my plans / roadmap for the website, however none of the existing content will be adversely affected. So the content is safe, and there will always be a wiki component to it. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 23:38, 27 September 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, I understand now. I thought by "change the website over" you meant take it down or something, but it seems you mean to change aspects of it. If it does so happen that you wish to remove it, PLEASE contact me and let me know at drew.shoemaker@gmail.com <br />
<br />
Again, thanks for all of your responses and clarification on this matter...<br />

== I might have screwed up ==<br />
<br />
I think I might have screwed up.<br />
<br />
I've just posted this new page after I failed to find anything specific to this officer by searching by his call sign:<br />
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/%22Shooter%22<br />
<br />
However, after some thought I looked again and but asked for his specific task instead. Then I found this:<br />
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Unnamed_Galactica_and_Pegasus_crew_%28RDM%29#Launch_Officer<br />
<br />
What should I do?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

<div>:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''<br />
<br />
:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]<br />
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.<br />
<br />
Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".<br />
<br />
A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.<br />
<br />
Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.<br />
<br />
A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.<br />
<br />

== Homages to real persons ==<br />
<br />
The following pilots are homages to people working on the show or related to its production. Since they may only exist in behind-the-scenes photos and not featured on screen, they don't necessarily exist within the show's continuity.<br />

== Non-Canon ==<br />
<br />
This is a list of names of pilots who have been identified as not being in the series canon, based on the following conditions:<br />
<br />
# The name is derived from a nameplate that was production made, and;<br />
# The name directly contradicts known, established canon.<br />

"Shooter" is the launch officer on the battlestar [[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]] during the [[Miniseries]]. As the same rank insignia is used for both Junior Lieutenant and for Ensign, it is uncertain what his actual rank is.<br />
<br />
<gallery><br />
Image:Shooter w insignia1.gif|"Shooter" aborts "Starbuck"'s launch<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
He initially tells [[Joker]] "Good luck" as that pilot launches in the second combat sortie from Galactica. He then has to abort Lt. [[Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]]'s third launch attempt due to her Viper's thrusters fluctuating.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
The term "shooter" could also be just generic military jargon for launch officer. In that case, then the officer in question is without name whatsoever.<br />

<div>:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''<br />
<br />
:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]<br />
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.<br />
<br />
Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".<br />
<br />
A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.<br />
<br />
Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.<br />
<br />
A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.<br />
<br />

== Homages to real persons ==<br />

This is a list of names of pilots who have been identified as not being in the series canon, based on the following conditions:<br />
<br />
# The name is derived from a nameplate that was production made, and;<br />
# The name directly contradicts known, established canon.<br />

<div>:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''<br />
<br />
:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]<br />
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.<br />
<br />
Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".<br />
<br />
A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.<br />
<br />
Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.<br />
<br />
A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.<br />

== Homages to real persons ==<br />
<br />
The following pilots are homages to people working on the show or related to its production. Since they may only exist in behind-the-scenes photos and not featured on screen, they don't necessarily exist within the show's continuity.<br />

== Non-Canon ==<br />
<br />
This is a list of names of pilots who have been identified as not being in the series canon, based on the following conditions:<br />
<br />
# The name is derived from a nameplate that was production made, and;<br />
# The name directly contradicts known, established canon.<br />

:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]<br />
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.<br />
<br />
Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".<br />
<br />
A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.<br />
<br />
Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.<br />
<br />
A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.<br />
<br />

==Status Unknown==<br />
<br />
This is a listing of pilots and callsigns derived from the nameplates that were auctioned off. These nameplates were either used on the Vipers in the background or made for the production, and thus may or may never have been seen on-screen. Their status has been presently identified as "unknown."<br />

== Homages to real persons ==<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:Pyramidcubits.jpg|thumb|right|[[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] wagers cubits at the Pyramid table ([[The Man with Nine Lives]]).]]<br />
<br />
'''Cubits''' are a form of government-regulated currency used throughout the Twelve Colonies in both the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] and [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]].<br />
<br />
==In the Original Series==<br />
Cubits were normally seen in coin form. Frequently, viewers see cubits wagered in [[Pyramid (TOS)|pyramid]] games, usually while [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] is playing ([[The Man with Nine Lives]]).<br />
<br />
==In ''[[Galactica 1980]]''==<br />
<br />
Cubits are much the same in terms of appearance from the Original Series. However, it is revealed that they were made out of [[auric]], the Colonial term for gold ([[The Super Scouts, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
==In the Re-imagined Series==<br />
[[Image:Silvergolden500cubit-actofcontrition-14.52.jpg|right|thumb|Betting with gold and silver cubits during a game of [[Triad (RDM)|Triad]] ([[Act of Contrition]]).]]<br />
The cubit typically comes in both a coin and paper form ([[Miniseries]]). <br />
<br />
The paper version is shown to come in denominations of 100, 500 ([[Act of Contrition]]) and 1000 ([[Miniseries]], [[Colonial Day]]); there are very likely others (A possible 10 cubit note maybe shown. See Additional Imagery below. Perhaps better imaging software can conclusively determine if this is so). The paper version also includes the shorthand for cubit "cb", next to the number it denotes. Coin versions of cubits also exist and bear the icon of the colony of origin on at least one side. Coins can be gold or silver ([[Black Market]]).<br />
<br />
Currency within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|refugee fleet]] led by ''Galactica'' became technically worthless as pointed out by [[Tom Zarek]]. However, President Roslin's administration strives to address this. Presidential aide [[Wallace Gray]] is instrumental in a move to return the Fleet to a currency-based economy to allow commerce in the Fleet to continue, so this form of currency is still utilized ([[Colonial Day]]).<br />

<br />
==Notes==<br />
*The [[Wikipedia:Cubit|Cubit]] is an ancient unit of measurement used by various civilizations (varying in size between them). It is mentioned several times in the [[Wikipedia:Bible|Bible]], most prominently in the [[Wikipedia:Old Testament|Old Testament]] descriptions of [[Wikipedia:Noah's Ark|Noah's Ark]] and the [[Wikipedia:Solomon's Temple|Temple of Solomon]]. The ''natural cubit'' is based on the distance between thumb and another finger to the elbow on an average person, around {{Feet2Meters|1.5}}.<br />
<br />
*As a system of currency, the Cubit is somewhat analogous to the [[w:Euro|Euro]], the international currency of much of the [[w:European Union|European Union]]. Cubits, like Euros, are universally accepted across all twelve Colonies and were the common currency long before the federal government was established with the signing of the Articles of Colonization (''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]'').<br />
<br />
*The artwork for the Colonial cubits used in the show includes the phrase "Seventh Millennium of Time". This is a nod to the [[Original Series]], as that [[Saga of a Star World|series's opening]] is set just before the [[timeline (TOS)|seventh millennium]] of time. The artwork also includes a previous concept of the Colonial "bird" seal drawn by [[Ken Rabehl]].<br />
<br />
*All text and numbers on the Colonial cubits used in the show use the typeface '''Abduction''' [http://www.fontfinder.ws/6156/Abduction.html] .<br />

<hr />
<div>:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''<br />
<br />
:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]<br />
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.<br />
<br />
Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".<br />
<br />
A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.<br />
<br />
Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.<br />
<br />
A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.<br />

== Homages to real persons ==<br />

The following pilots are homages to people working on the show or related to its production. Since they may only exist in behind-the-scenes photos and not featured on screen, they don't necessarily exist within the show's continuity.<br />

<br />
# The name is derived from a nameplate that was production made, and;<br />
# The name directly contradicts known, established canon.<br />

<hr />
<div>:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''<br />
<br />
:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Final_Cut-Thin_Line_of_Blue.jpg|thumb|300px|Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on ''Galactica.'']]<br />
'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.<br />
<br />
Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".<br />
<br />
A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.<br />
<br />
Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.<br />
<br />
A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.<br />
<br />

== Homages to real persons ==<br />
<br />
The following pilots are homages to people working on the show or related to its production. Since they may only exist in behind-the-scenes photos and not featured on screen, they don't necessarily exist within the show's continuity.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:Pyramidcubits.jpg|thumb|right|[[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] wagers cubits at the Pyramid table ([[The Man with Nine Lives]]).]]<br />
<br />
'''Cubits''' are a form of government-regulated currency used throughout the Twelve Colonies in both the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] and [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]].<br />
<br />
==In the Original Series==<br />
Cubits were normally seen in coin form. Frequently, viewers see cubits wagered in [[Pyramid (TOS)|pyramid]] games, usually while [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] is playing ([[The Man with Nine Lives]]).<br />
<br />
==In ''[[Galactica 1980]]''==<br />
<br />
Cubits are much the same in terms of appearance from the Original Series. However, it is revealed that they were made out of [[auric]], the Colonial term for gold ([[The Super Scouts, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
==In the Re-imagined Series==<br />
[[Image:Silvergolden500cubit-actofcontrition-14.52.jpg|right|thumb|Betting with gold and silver cubits during a game of [[Triad (RDM)|Triad]] ([[Act of Contrition]]).]]<br />
The cubit typically comes in both a coin and paper form ([[Miniseries]]). <br />
<br />
The paper version is shown to come in denominations of 100, 500 ([[Act of Contrition]]) and 1000 ([[Colonial Day]]); there are very likely others (A possible 10 cubit note maybe shown. See Additional Imagery below. Perhaps better imaging software can conclusively determine if this is so). The paper version also includes the shorthand for cubit "cb", next to the number it denotes. Coin versions of cubits also exist and bear the icon of the colony of origin on at least one side. Coins can be gold or silver ([[Black Market]]).<br />
<br />
Currency within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|refugee fleet]] led by ''Galactica'' became technically worthless as pointed out by [[Tom Zarek]]. However, President Roslin's administration strives to address this. Presidential aide [[Wallace Gray]] is instrumental in a move to return the Fleet to a currency-based economy to allow commerce in the Fleet to continue, so this form of currency is still utilized ([[Colonial Day]]).<br />

*The [[Wikipedia:Cubit|Cubit]] is an ancient unit of measurement used by various civilizations (varying in size between them). It is mentioned several times in the [[Wikipedia:Bible|Bible]], most prominently in the [[Wikipedia:Old Testament|Old Testament]] descriptions of [[Wikipedia:Noah's Ark|Noah's Ark]] and the [[Wikipedia:Solomon's Temple|Temple of Solomon]].

<hr />
<div>:''For the [[Original Series]] counterpart, see [[Colonial Shuttle (TOS)]].''<br />
<br />
{{Ship Data<br />
| image= AtmoShutt.jpg<br />
| title= Atmospheric shuttle<br />
| race= Colonial<br />
| type= Military/Civilian<br />
| ftl= Yes, on at least one shuttle model<br />
| crew= Unknown<br />
| role= Short range [[FTL]] passenger transport between ships/planet surface<br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Atmospheric shuttles'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> are vessels whose primary role is ferrying passengers to and from the different vessels within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] or to a planet's surface.<br />
<br />
Atmospheric shuttles appear on both military and civilian vessels. A shuttle is seen in ''[[Galactica]]'''s [[landing bay]] ([[Miniseries]]) and on the hangar deck of ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).<br />
<br />
An atmospheric shuttle ferries a [[Laura Roslin faction|group]] around Laura Roslin seeking the whereabouts of Earth to the [[Galleon Meadow]] on [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] ([[Home, Part I]]), and docks to ''Galactica'' in "[[Act of Contrition]]". A shuttle is also seen at rest on the surface of [[New Caprica]] during its colonization, and during food retrieval efforts on the [[algae planet]] ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).<br />
<br />
When [[Kendra Shaw]] waits at the [[Caprica Transfer Station]] for her lift to the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]], she sees a shuttle taking off outside the tent ([[Razor]]).<br />
<br />
Three distinct shuttle models have been identified. For classification purposes only, as their true specifications are unknown, they are identified on this page as follows: "Heavy" Shuttle, "General Purpose" Shuttle, and [[Cylon War]]-era Shuttle. <br />
<br />
== "Heavy" Shuttle ==<br />
First seen in the opening scene of the Miniseries, it appears to be a clear homage to the original shuttle seen in [[TOS]]. There is little to use to gauge the true size of the craft, but it ''appears'' to be larger with it's bulk more fully filled out down the length of the vessel.<br />
<br />
<gallery><br />

Image:Port_rear_view_of_Atmospheric_Shuttle.gif|Port rear view<br />
Image:Atmospheric shuttle-detailed exterior shot.gif|Detailed exterior shot<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
This model is definitely [[FTL]] capable per the exchange between Commander [[William Adama]] and Lt. [[Felix Gaeta]] in the Miniseries: "Courier officer's overdue coming back from Armistice Station. They've asked for a full status report on all FTL-capable ships just in case they need somebody to jump out there today....". Clearly a FTL capable vessel was required to reach the Armistice Station.<br />
<br />
== "General Purpose" Shuttle ==<br />
This model appears to be the most commonly used, especially in civilian service. But it is also used by the military as well. However it is never clear if this model has FTL capability.<br />
<br />

</gallery><br />
<br />
== Cylon War-era Shuttle ==<br />
This model, as best can be determined by the one low resolution shot of it from the Miniseries and [[Razor Flashbacks]], is TOS version of the shuttle. Again, it is not known if this model is FTL capable either.<br />
<br />
Gauging by the Mk II Vipers near the shuttle in the image, one can determine a very rough approximation of the shuttle being the equivalent of 2-3 Vipers in length. <br />

<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
==Colonial Fleet==<br />
<br />
==== Officer duty uniform ====<br />
[[Image:Blue mini.JPG|thumb|left|Blue duty uniform ([[Miniseries]]).]]<br />
[[Image:nBSG-PilotWings.jpg|thumb|right|Standard (left) and Elite (right) Pilot Qualification Wings (click to enlarge).]]<br />
Officers are issued double-breasted dark blue duty uniforms, informally called "blues", which overlap to the right and are secured by a column of buttons. Darker blue patches are sewn to the shoulders and upper sleeves, with a round [[Insignia (RDM)#Ship patches|patch]] bearing the [[Colonial seal]] and the wearer's ship and [[battlestar group]] on the upper left shoulder.<br />
<br />
[[Military Ranks (RDM)#Insignia|Rank insignia]] are worn on both sides of the stand-up collar. <br />
<br />
Pilot qualification wings when applicable are worn over the breast pocket on the left. These exist in two grades: "standard" and "elite"<ref>[http://www.battlestarprops.com/wings-and-their-designations/ Wings and their designations], battlestarprops.com.</ref>. The latter might be awarded for significant flight-hours or senior command qualification (e.g. capital ship).<br />
<br />
There are also other [[Insignia (RDM)#Dress uniform devices|medals and awards]] that can be worn on the left breast of the standard duty uniform, particularly by high-level command and flag officers such as Fleet Admirals. So far, the only verifiable occurrence of this thus far is Admiral [[Peter Corman]] ([[Hero]]).<br />
<br clear="both" /><br />
Fleet officer uniforms have colored piping which denotes the degree of rank of the wearer:<br />
<br />
Junior Officers:<br />
<br />
*Ensign to Major - a single grey line - [[:md:Image:JuniorOff_uni.jpg|Example]]<br />
<br />
Senior Officers:<br />
<br />
*Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel - red line on outer edge, grey line on inner edge - [[:md:Image:Colonel_uni.jpg|Example]]<br />
*Commander - red line on outer edge, gold line on inner edge - [[:md:Image:Commander_uni.jpg|Example]]<br />
<br />
Flag Officers:<br />
*Rear Admiral - gold line on outer edge, silver line on inner edge - [[:md:Image:Admiralpiping1.jpg|Example]]<br />
*Admiral - a single line of golden embroidery - [[:md:Image:Season_3_-_Promo_-_Hero_-_Admiral_Corman.jpg|Example]]<br />
<br />
:'''Note:''' When he is promoted to admiral, Adama keeps his old commander's uniform. The gold/white piping can only be seen on Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]]'s uniform.<br />
<br />
Senior Officer uniforms also include small buckles on the jacket cuffs.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
==== Officer dress uniform ====<br />
[[Image:Greys Mini.JPG|thumb|left|Dress Gray uniforms ([[Miniseries]]).]]<br />
The officers' dress uniform, known as Dress Grays, is similar to the duty uniform with a few key differences. It is gray, features a leather sash to which flight wings and [[Insignia (RDM)|decorations]] are affixed, and lacks a pocket, shoulder patches and buttons.<br />
<br />
Senior officers' uniforms also feature a piped, maroon strip around the neck. Whereas the duty uniform tunic is tucked in at the belt, the dress uniform tunic extends below the waist and features a waist belt of the same material as the sash. White gloves are worn on the most formal occasions like a visit by a head of government ([[Water]]) or by honor guards at military funerals ([[Act of Contrition]]).<br />
<br />
Shoulder cords can be worn at the left shoulder<ref>They can be seen in "[[Water]]" and on some officers in "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]", but not in the [[Miniseries]] or "[[Act of Contrition]]". It is unknown if there are rules about their use.</ref>. William Adama's cord is white, while Colonel Tigh's is yellow. Both also have different braids; it is unknown if that is an indication of rank or position. A third type of shoulder cord, double white braid with one loop going through the sash, can be seen on some lower-ranking ''Pegasus'' officers at [[Helena Cain|Admiral Cain]]'s funeral ([[Resurrection Ship]]).<br />
<br />
A special version is worn by the honor guard at the funeral in "Act of Contrition". Their sashes aren't made leather, but instead blue fabric.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
===Fleet pilot flight suit===<br />
{{mainarticle|flight suit}}<br />
[[Image:Flightsuits.JPG|thumb|left|Apollo and Starbuck in flight suits.]]<br />
Flight suits with left sleeve pockets are used by flight-qualified crew (pilots, [[ECO]]s, etc.). The flight suit is a life-support garment and can sustain the life of the pilot in hostile environments up to and including total vacuum and freezing temperature. Flight suits also have a metal collar that is attached to maintain an airtight seal between the flight suit and a helmet. Often, when not on a mission pilots wear the suit with the top half rolled down and hanging at their waist, revealing the t-shirt and tank top they wear underneath. It also has been used to make an air-tight seal in a vessel by filling in a hole in the hull ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]). Additionally, the flight suit has a chronometer mounted in a cuff.<br />
<br />
Pilots and ECOs wear several [[Insignia (RDM)#Ship patches|patches]] on their flight suits: On the left shoulder a patch designating the ship they are assigned to, and on the right shoulder a patch for what craft they operate, usually a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] or a [[Raptor]]. Moreover, a [[Squadrons of Galactica#Squadron Crests|squadron patch]] is sometimes worn on the left breast under the outer layer of the suit.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
===Fatigues===<br />
[[Image:GreenBDU.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Green fatigues]]<br />
Like the blue officer duty uniforms, the fatigue uniforms display the emblem of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, and denote what vessel the wearer is serving on. Rank insignia are affixed to both collars.<br />
<br />
The green uniform is worn by both officers in off-duty and informal situations, and enlisted crew as their regular uniform. A tan variation is worn by warrant officers.<br />
<gallery><br />

Image:Warrant Officer at funeral in Act of Contrition.gif|Warrant officer in fatigues ([[Act of Contrition]])<br />
</gallery><br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
===Enlisted flight deck coverall===<br />
[[Image:Jumpsuit mini.JPG|thumb|left|Orange utility jumpsuit ([[Miniseries]]).]]<br />
When on-duty, enlisted flight deck crew wear color-coded coverall uniforms according to occupation specialty (only orange and yellow deck crew overalls have been used so far) with reflective safety tapes and rubber utility pockets.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
==Colonial Marine Corps==<br />
<br />
:''For information on real-life items and uniforms used in costuming, see [[Colonial Marine Corps#Real life costuming notes|Colonial Marine Corps]]''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Khaki litmus.JPG|thumb|Khaki fatigue uniform and black battle dress uniforms ([[Litmus]]).]]<br />
[[Image:DigitalWoodland.jpg|thumb|right|Marines with digital woodland backpacks ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]])]]<br />
Colonial [[Marines]] generally wear a solid black battle dress uniform. Additionally, black load-bearing vests, helmets, communications gear, knee and elbow pads, gloves and goggles are standard. Unlike Colonial Fleet uniforms, Marine BDUs are worn with a plain black t-shirt ([[A Measure of Salvation]]). <br />
<br />
Marine NCO's (non-commissioned officers) wear a single-breasted tan fatigue with down-turned collars bearing rank insignia, and two chest pockets which are secured by clasps.<ref>Only one marine NCO, Sergeant Hadrian, is shown wearing tan fatigues. In a production change verified by background actor Troy Rudolph, subsequent wear is reserved for warrant officers.</ref> Like the Fleet officer uniform, it has darker-shaded patches on the shoulders. There appears to be little or no difference between this uniform vs those of a warrant officer save for the rank insignia which happens to stand out between the NCO's dark green vs the warrant officers' gold.<br />
<br />
Marines with special duties in ship security, wear a black armband on the right upper arm with the word "Security" printed in black letters on a small square of white. Sergeant [[Hadrian]] - as the [[Master-at-Arms]] - wears one of these.<br />
<br />
Apparently, there are no Marine officers left aboard ''Galactica'' (and possibly on ''Pegasus'' as well), as the only officer seen so far is Lieutenant [[Terry Burrell]] ([[Sacrifice]]). However, as Burrell is in plainclothes, no information about the Corps's possibly distinct officer's uniforms is available.<br />
<br />
While the general uniform worn aboard ship is solid black, the Colonial Marine Corps does utilize digital camouflage uniforms, but at least on ''Galactica'' they are not standard issue. The Marines on the Caprica rescue mission in the episodes "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]" and "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|Part II]]" wear "woodland" digital camouflage backpacks. Moreover, both Lee and William Adama wear gray, urban digital camouflage uniforms on Kobol ([[Home, Part II]]). In one of the [[Razor Flashback]] episodes, two Colonial Marine medics on ''Galactica'''s hangar deck wear "woodland" digital camouflage uniforms, thus providing more evidence of the Colonial Marines use of digital camouflage uniforms.<br />
<br />
There are a number of possible reasons why the Colonial Marines serving aboard both ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus'' are wearing solid black tactical uniforms instead of digital camouflage uniforms. One of the reasons why the Marines that serve with the Fleet are issued black combat uniforms could be due to the their role as security personnel aboard the battlestars as well as the fact the black combat uniforms are very effective in a darkened combat environment, especially in repelling any Cylon Centurions from raiding a battlestar (as in the Season 2 episode "[[Valley of Darkness]]"). Troops deployed to planets could use more specialized uniforms, but ''Galactica'' probably only has a very limited supply of these.<br />
<br />
Ron Moore explained in a blog posting why the Marines do not have much uniform variation; it is primarily a budgetary issue:<br />
:Q: "Why do the "marines" on the show always wear a CQB (close quarters battle) gear loadout in all the episodes? Even in the ones where they are outdoors? Is it possible we might see a different "marine" gear setup? "<br />
<br />
:RDM: "It's primarily a budgetary issue. We've got the CQB gear, so it's cheaper and easier to keep using it week after week than it is to rent specific items for every mission or to buy a wide variety of gear for stock. There's also a costume issue in that we don't really have specific Marine uniforms, so we use variations of our existing "naval" uniforms for the Marines and distinguish them mostly through the use of the CQB gear."<br />
<br />
==Additional uniforms and clothing ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:SP Scattered.JPG|thumb|left|Colonial Shore Patrol ([[Scattered]])]]<br />
[[Image:Urban FotP.JPG|thumb|Urban battle dress utility uniform ([[Home, Part II]]).]]<br />
The battle dress utility uniform is an urban digital camouflage pattern of various shades of dark and light grays. It features angled breast and shoulder pockets and lacks abdominal pockets, and the buttons are covered. The elbows of the battle dress utility feature large patches. The boots are either typically bloused, with the pant legs tucked into the boots; or not bloused, with the pant legs left hanging over the boots. The uniform features a Mandarin collar which can be worn up for comfort in body armor or in a down position for appearance in other situations. This uniform has been in use in the Colonial Fleet for several decades ([[Scattered]]).<ref>The digital camouflage uniforms that are used on ''Battlestar Galactica'' appear to be made by the American camouflage clothing company Tru-Spec for the commercial market and come in "woodland", "desert", and "urban" patterns. The Tru-Spec digital camouflage uniforms differ from the official MARPAT uniforms the U.S. Marine Corps in several smaller aspects.</ref><br />
<br />
Black leather boots and hexagonal [[Identification tags|identification tags]] are used with all uniforms. All uniforms except for Colonial and Marine BDUs feature left-shoulder patches indicating their assigned vessel. <br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
[[Image:Tee mini.JPG|thumb|left|T-shirt and tank top worn with green fatigue pants ([[Miniseries]])]]<br />
<br />
A gray sleeveless tee shirt covered by a brown tank top is worn beneath all uniforms, including at least the flight suit, the duty uniforms, BDUs, the deck crew work uniforms, and Dr. [[Cottle]]'s coat ([[Miniseries]], "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]", "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]" deleted scene). Gray briefs of the same color and material as the t-shirts, either in varying lengths or in different cuts for male and female personnel, are worn under the pants ([[Scar]]).<br />
<br />
[[Image:Spacesuit(rdm).jpg|thumb|right|A damage control party in space suits ([[Water]]).]] <br />
<br />
[[Space suit (RDM)|Space suits]] exist for extra-vehicular activity or work in sections of the ship exposed to space. When ''[[Colonial Heavy 798]]'' docks with ''Galactica'' in in the [[Miniseries]], two workers are hovering in the flight pod. These space suits can be seen close up in the episodes "[[Water]]" and "[[The Road Less Traveled]]".<br />
<br />
Female systems analysts can wear a gray sweater dress-like uniform with a [[Insignia (RDM)|patch of an "Integral Systems Engineer"]]. A gray jumpsuit also exists that is be worn be both genders ([[Razor]]). <ref>This is not a military uniform, however. [[Gina Inviere]] is a civilian working for a company contracted to carry out the overhaul of ''Pegasus''.</ref><br />
<br />
<div style="clear:both;"></div><br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
According to an interview with regular series costume designer Glenne Campbell<ref>"Costume Drama." Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine. Oct./Nov. 2005: Page 64.</ref>, "The uniforms are made out of a very specific material, and we own all of that material that there is in existence -- they're not making this stuff anymore". Thus, for BSG fans that want to make their own costumes, it appears that it is technically impossible to make a complete recreation of the military uniforms on the series. As there are only a limited number of uniforms in existence, when someone gets shot, the production team usually tries to have it shot in such a way that the costume is undamaged. The crew uses a patch of cloth over the uniform that has the blood packs underneath, which is painted to blend in with the rest of the uniform; for example when [[Callandra Tyrol|Cally]] shoots [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] in "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]".<br />

'''''Galactica'' (BS 75)''' is a [[Galactica type battlestar|veteran battlestar]] and the last of her kind still in service with the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] at the time of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|destruction of the Twelve Colonies]]. Built during the early days of the [[Cylon War]], she remains the only military vessel without integrated [[Computers|computer networks]]. Without networked computers, ''Galactica'' never upgrades to the new [[Command Navigation Program|integrated defense system software]] developed by Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] and his [[Number Six|team]]. Because of this and other factors, she becomes one of only two known battlestars (the other being ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'') to survive the renewed Cylon attack on the [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]]. At the time of this attack, she was part of the 75th [[Battlestar Group]] (BSG-75).<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
=== The First Cylon War ===<br />
[[Image:Mini gal top.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A dorsal view of ''Galactica''. The starboard [[flight pod]] is covered by a window to form the [[Galactica Museum|museum area]].]]<br />
''Galactica'' was one of the first twelve battlestars to be constructed by the Colonials, each representing one of the twelve colonies; ''Galactica'' represented [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]. As such, she is some 50 years old. While solidly built, various factors during ''Galactica's'' construction led to the shipyard "cutting corners" when she was originally built, with various components not completed to spec ([[No Exit]]). Following the outbreak of Cylon hostilities several more battlestars were built. ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> first commander was named [[Nash]].<br />
<br />
The original battlestars were all designed with non-integrated computer systems to avoid the Cylons' demonstrated ability to override or subvert networked command and control systems early in the war ([[Miniseries]]). Rather than technological sophistication, the battlestar depended on its sheer bulk and defensive / offensive capabilities to ward off any threats to itself or the Colonies. <br />
<br />
After the [[Final Five|rather mysterious]] Cylon [[Armistice Station|armistice]], and their withdrawal from Colonial space, ''Galactica'' and her sister ships served the Twelve Colonies in a variety of roles. While her surviving sister ships were scrapped or upgraded to match the systems capabilities of newer Colonial vessels, ''Galactica'' continued in service without her systems being fully networked or integrated, making her unique among Colonial military vessels. '' Galactica'' was relegated to intra-system duties for at least 20 years prior to her decommissioning.<ref>This is inferred by [[Saul Tigh]] in his reaction to Commander Adama's decision for a [[FTL]] jump ([[Miniseries, Night 1]]).</ref><br />
<br />
=== Decommissioning ===<br />
[[Image:Ragnar Escape.jpg|200px|right|thumb|''Galactica'' provides cover for civilian ships during the [[Battle of Ragnar Anchorage]].]]<br />
With her active career drawing to a close, a decision was taken to retire ''Galactica'' and decommission her from service. Colonial Fleet chose not to scrap her, but to turn her into a combination of living museum to the original Cylon War and an educational center, with her conversion being overseen by her final commander, [[William Adama]].<br />
<br />
At the time of her formal decommissioning ceremony, ''Galactica'' is stripped of all but one of her operational [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] Mark VII squadrons, her munitions are destroyed, and her starboard landing pod is converted into a pressurized [[Galactica Museum|museum]] which houses (among other things) a full squadron of [[Viper Mark II|Mk. II Vipers]] as well as a Viper model that appears [[Viper (TOS)|older than the Mark II]] (Miniseries, also in deleted scenes).<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
=== Return of the Cylons ===<br />
[[Image:Mini side fleet.jpg|thumb|right|200px|''Galactica'' and the [[fleet]].]]<br />
With the renewed and unexpected Cylon hostilities, ''Galactica'' is quickly brought back to combat condition and sorties several Mark IIs retrieved from her museum, engaging in her first battle with the Cylons in over 40 years (all but one last Mark VII squadron were sent to Caprica for reassignment). She survives a direct hit by a tactical nuclear missile, and later [[FTL|jumps]] successfully to [[Ragnar Anchorage]] to replenish her empty ammunition stores at this strategic depot.<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' emerges from the anchorage and engages one [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] with her gun batteries, providing cover for [[The Fleet (RDM)|a fleet of 75 civilian ships]] harboring survivors of the Twelve Colonies. Once the entire civilian fleet successfully jumps away, and as a second basestar approaches to join the battle, ''Galactica'' recovers her remaining Vipers and jumps to the rendezvous point beyond the [[Red Line]], never to return to Colonial space ([[Miniseries]]). <br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
=== Leading a Ragtag Fleet ===<br />
[[Image:Ep212battle.jpg|200px|right|thumb|''Galactica'' and [[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]] work together during the [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship]].]]<br />
Since the exodus of the Colonials from their overrun homeworlds, ''Galactica'' becomes both protector and provider for the Fleet. She provides covering fire for the Fleet during Cylon attacks no fewer than 240 times ("[[33]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]"). The battlestar provides much of the Fleet with recycled water ([[Water]]) and she is the primary source of medical care, where groups of civilians are periodically brought aboard for check-ups and treatment ([[Litmus]]). ''Galactica'' also undertakes internal policing duties within the Fleet ("[[Water]]", "[[Bastille Day]]").<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' successfully goes on the offensive against the Cylons, capturing a [[tylium]] fuel mining and processing plant in the process ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).<br />
<br />
The [[Mercury class battlestar|advanced battlestar]] ''Pegasus'', commanded by Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]], joins ''Galactica'' approximately 6 months into their exile (See the series [[Timeline (RDM)|timeline]] for special information about this milestone). The two battlestars destroy two [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] as well as a critical Cylon support ship known as the [[Resurrection Ship]]. After Admiral Cain's death, President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]] promotes William Adama to Admiral, restoring him to overall Fleet command, but now with two battlestars at his disposal ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
===New Caprica===<br />
[[Image:Leaving New Caprica.jpg|thumb|right|200px|''Galactica'', ''Pegasus'', and the orbiting fleet prior to leaving [[New Caprica]].]] <br />
Following the founding of [[New Caprica]], ''Galactica'' is assigned to the orbital defense force that protects the planet. During this time the majority of her crew are allowed to the surface in an effort to populate the planet and restore the human race, a majority of whom are seemingly convinced that the Cylons will never find New Caprica. The diminished crew inevitably results in standard maintenance becoming overlooked or ignored; basic military responses, such as the launching of alert fighters and routine training exercises become difficult to execute. One year following the founding of New Caprica, a fleet of Cylon ships jump into orbit of the planet. Severely limited in their abilities, Admiral Adama orders the defense fleet to jump away from New Caprica along with a handful of civilian ships still in orbit of the colony. They vow to eventually return to New Caprica and liberate it from the Cylon invaders ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
===[[Battle of New Caprica]]===<br />
[[Image:BONC.jpg|thumb|right|200px|''Galactica'' takes a pounding during the [[Battle of New Caprica]].]]<br />
Four months after their escape, ''Galactica'''s staff is still in the process of developing a rescue strategy with 16 training exercises having been completed and a 17th underway when an accident causes its early cessation ([[Occupation]]). This forces both a change in strategy and the reformulation of a rescue plan to deal with personnel who have not seen conflict in 16 months. While ''Galactica'' fights to liberate the Colonials on-planet, ''Pegasus'' is assigned to protect the remaining civilian fleet and continue its search for [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] ("[[Precipice]]", "[[Exodus, Part I]]").<br />
<br />
After coordinating with the [[New Caprica Resistance]], ''Galactica'' leaves ''Pegasus'' to guard the space-bound members of humanity while it uses a series of drones to misdirect the bulk of the Cylon Raiders and avoid immediate detection by baseships, thus allowing the civilians on the planet to escape to their ships and flee New Caprica.<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' then jumps into low orbit, plummeting from an altitude of 100,000 feet. As the ship falls, Admiral Adama orders the launch of all remaining Vipers. ''Galactica'' then jumps back into orbit. In the subsequent battle with the orbiting basestars, ''Galactica'' is overtaxed, out-gunned, and faces destruction when ''Pegasus'' unexpectedly arrives. ''Pegasus''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> salvos draw the attention of the basestars away from ''Galactica'', buying ''Galactica'' time to bring her [[FTL|FTL drives]] back on-line and escape, but at the cost of ''Pegasus''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> destruction ([[Exodus, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' bears the scars of the battle with significant scorching and dents to the hull. Nonetheless, the battlestar remains combat ready, holding off a superior Cylon force for a short duration in the [[Battle of NCD2539]] ([[A Measure of Salvation]]), and threatening to use its nuclear arsenal twice after New Caprica ("[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", "[[Crossroads, Part II]]"). Given the loss of ''Pegasus'', ''Galactica'' now boasts a larger crew, Viper and Raptor complement, to the point where there are more pilots than there are ships to fly ([[Torn]]), although the training of new recruits is still ongoing ("[[Dirty Hands]]", "[[Crossroads]]", "[[He That Believeth in Me]]"). Further, there are various redundancies between the two crews that are appropriately dealt with (e.g. [[Lee Adama]] in a [[List of Deleted Scenes - Season 3 (RDM)|deleted scene]] from "[[Exodus, Part II]]").<br />
<br />
In "[[A Day in the Life]]", Colonel Tigh comments that ''Galactica'' took so much damage in this battle that it would "take six weeks in dry dock just to bang out the dents". This indicates that the damage is extensive enough to require a significant amount time (probably months) for full repair, and would be unlikely to survive a massive battle again. <br />
<br />
=== Resuming the Search for Earth ===<br />
''Galactica'' takes aboard a significant quantity of civilians following the exodus from New Caprica, as several civilian ships are lost during the escape from the failed colony. Cramped conditions increase as crew and civilians struggle to adapt to life back aboard a ship. The civilians reside on the refurbished starboard hangar deck as a refugee camp nicknamed "[[Camp Oil Slick]]" and later "Dogsville" ("[[Torn]]", "[[The Woman King]]").<br />
<br />
During a [[The Passage|food shortage crisis]] caused by contamination of the Fleet's food processing systems, ''Galactica'' (along with her Raptors acting as pilot ships) guides the civilian Fleet through an area of intense heat, light and radiation caused by a [[Passage (star cluster)|dense star cluster]] to reach edible resources on the [[algae planet]]. ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> heavy armor and radiation shielding protect her from the intense effects of the cluster, but the ship still suffers hull damage and decompressions.<br />
<br />
The ship confronts a Cylon fleet and barely escapes a nova during [[Eye of Jupiter|the events over the algae planet]], jumping out at the last moment after recovering its ground teams and additional data on a way-point to Earth known to the Colonials as the [[Ionian nebula]] ("[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", "[[Rapture]]"). Repairs continue on the journey to the Ionian nebula. Damage to one particular airlock nearly causes the deaths of Galen and Cally Tyrol during what they expected to be a quick repair of a hull micro-fracture ([[A Day in the Life]]). <br />
[[Image:BOTIM.jpg|thumb|left|200px|''Galactica'' is outnumbered during the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]].]]<br />
When the Fleet reaches the nebula, four Cylon baseships are detected following an unexplained power outage. With the entire Fleet crippled and unable to escape, ''Galactica'' scrambles her Vipers and prepares for a lopsided fight, outnumbered and outgunned ([[Crossroads, Part II]]). During the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula|following battle]], ''Galactica'' manages to hold off the main attack of the massive Cylon attack force. Despite the damage suffered in previous engagements, the old warship wields her main guns and point defense batteries effectively again in defense of the Fleet. During the battle ''Galactica'' takes many hits while covering the Fleet although without crippling damage. Despite having the advantage, and managing to destroy or damage several civilian ships, the Cylons retreat in the middle of the battle, after detecting one of the [[Final Five]] among the Colonials ([[He That Believeth in Me]]).<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' is once forced to prepare for a battle against the rebel [[Basestar (RDM)|Cylon basestar]], but the ''[[Demetrius]]'' arrives to defuse the situation. In the wake of the basestar disappearing from the Fleet ([[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]), [[Saul Tigh]] assumes command of ''Galactica'', jumping along with the Fleet ([[Sine Qua Non]]).<br />
<br />
After [[Kara Thrace]] picks up a strange signal in [[Starbuck's Viper|her Viper]], the Colonials have a direct bearing towards Earth. Shortly later, after several years of searching, ''Galactica'' and her Fleet finally make the last jump to Earth ([[Revelations]]).<br />
<br />
=== Post-Earth ===<br />
<br />
After discovering [[Earth]] is a nuclear wasteland, discipline and morale on ''Galactica'' fall dramatically and the overall cleanliness of the ship suffers, e.g. outside [[CIC]], the words "Frak Earth" are spray-painted on the walls ([[Sometimes a Great Notion]]). When former deck chief [[Galen Tyrol]] disables the FTL drive, foiling the mutineers' escape with the ship, he discovers multiple tears in the chamber's walls, a sign that the aging battlestar's structural integrity is faltering ([[Blood on the Scales]]).<br />
[[Image:Damaged Galactica.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A heavily damaged ''Galactica''.]] <br />
A structural survey of the ship fins several torn supports and weakened areas in the hull, and a more in-depth examination finds endemic metal fatigue throughout the ship, with virtually every part of the hull riddled with small cracks and fissures.<br />
<br />
''Galactica's'' advanced age, the corners cut during construction and the abuse it has been put through since the war started contributed to its condition. Tyrol suggests treating the damaged parts of the ship with an [[Cylon organic resin|organic Cylon resin]] from the [[Rebel Baseship]], which would fill the cracks and bear the stresses, which Adama at first refuses. However, Adama finally appreciates ''Galactica's'' dire condition when he finds a tear in a bulkhead in his quarters, and orders Tyrol to carry out his plan to repair the ship ([[No Exit]]). Tyrol later says that the resin will buy more time but the ship's integrity has been fundamentally weakened and it might not survive more FTL jumps- it is impossible to say how long she can hold. ''Galactica'' is dying of old age and accumulated battle damage.<br />
<br />
Later ''Galactica'' is damaged even further when [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] jumps away very close to the hull. The resulting spatial distortion of her Raptor's FTL jump causes what appears to be buckling and explosive decompression in several sections of the alligator head of ''Galactica'' on her port side ([[Someone to Watch Over Me]]). This causes a chain reaction of explosions, structural failures and power outages throughout many parts of the ship including CIC.<br />
<br />
At first refusing to accept the reality of the ship's fate, Admiral Adama gives the emotionally painful order to stop the repairs and begin the process of abandoning ship, moving to the Rebel Baseship as the Fleet's new flagship ([[Islanded In a Stream of Stars]]).<br />
<br />
As the ship is slowly offloaded of parts and personnel, the Admiral relents one last time, stops the scrapping of the battlestar, and calls for volunteers for what will likely be a ''Galactica's'' final mission- to get the kidnapped Hera back from Cavil's Cylon colony ([[Daybreak, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
=== Endgame: [[Battle of The Colony|Battle of The Colony]] ===<br />
<br />
[[Image:Battleofthecolony.jpg|thumb|right|200px|right|''Galactica'' takes massive hits seconds after jumping to [[The Colony]].]]<br />
With a skeleton crew and a frail battlestar, Admiral Adama executes a daring mission to rescue Hera Agathon.<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' jumps to the Colony at point-blank range. Besieged by the Colony's gun batteries at first, the Hybrid Anders manages to take them and the Colony's Hybrids offline. As ''Galactica's'' Vipers engage incoming Raiders, her Raptors jump directly from their berth in the starboard [[flight pod]] (causing extensive damage to it) and maneuver to board the Colony.<br />
<br />
Adama does the unbelievable: he rams ''Galactica's'' bow into the Colony, forming not only a second breech for his search teams to enter, but also forming an alternate escape route.<br />
<br />
The rescue is successful, but ''Galactica'' is far from safe. The Raiders are still attacking the ship, destroying at least one of its remaining heavy gun batteries. The rescue teams are pursued back to ''Galactica'' by Cavil and his troops, determined to recapture Hera. Platoons of enemy Centurions swarm into the ship. Cavil personally leads an attack on CIC but is foiled.<br />
<br />
Things appear to settle down after Cavil and Adama call a ceasefire. Cavil agrees to let ''Galactica'' leave with Hera in exchange for the information needed to bring back [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrection technology]]. The Raiders return to the Colony, while the Vipers return to ''Galactica''. Unfortunately, as the Final Five begin to download their knowledge into the Colony, they are exposed to each other's secrets; Galen Tyrol learns that Tory Foster murdered his wife [[Cally Tyrol]] ([[The Ties That Bind]]). Tyrol flies into a rage and kills Foster, severing the download. Chaos ensues and the ceasefire ends. The Raiders renew their attack on the ship.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile [[Racetrack]]'s Raptor, drifting in space after all aboard were killed, is hit by a stray asteroid, causing the Raptor to launch its nuclear missiles into the Colony. The Colony's orbit immediately decays, pulling it into the black hole--threatening to take ''Galactica'' with it. But Kara Thrace jumps the ship, using coordinates she had extrapolated from [[The Music]] at the last second.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
=== Journey's End ===<br />
[[File:Battlestar Over Africa.jpg|thumb|left|200px|right|A crippled ''Galactica'' seen in orbit over the Sahara Desert.]]<br />
The jump proves to be too much for the heavily weakened battlestar. ''Galactica'' experiences a series of fatal structural failures, permanently losing her FTL ability. But fears of being stranded in space are short-lived as ''Galactica'' arrives in the vicinity of a lush, blue-green habitable world, already populated by tribes of primitive humans who naturally evolved there.<br />
[[File:The fleet's end.jpg|thumb|200px|right|''Galactica'' and her fleet heading straight into the Sun.]]<br />
The population of the Fleet, arriving later, agree to leave their technology behind and start new lives on the planet they decide to call "[[Earth (RDM)#A New Earth|Earth]]". The Rebel Cylons also decide to stay on the planet. With this decision, the Rebel Baseship is left to the Centurions, who leave to seek out their own destiny. Anders, still acting as ''Galactica's'' Hybrid, brings the battlestar's adventures to a close as he pilots ''Galactica'' and the last ships in the Fleet into the Sun.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
Apart from any technological upgrades that may have been made to her sister ships, ''Galactica'' was built to the general technical specifications of her [[Galactica type battlestar|class]].<br />
<br />
===Starboard Flight Pod===<br />
<br />
The starboard landing bay is eventually restored to usable condition, evidenced when Major Lee Adama lands his Raptor in the starboard pod. However, it is possible that this is due to a previously issued quarantine order and not because the flight pod is in regular use ([[A Measure of Salvation]]). The starboard hangar deck is designated an [[Dogsville|area of refuge]] for civilians displaced from lost ships (The Woman King).<br />
<br />
During the last mission of Galactica, this pod held a number of Raptor's ready for launch, these deployed out of the pod by FTL jump with the result that the shock waves fatally weakened the pods structure and the pod blew open to space. ([[Daybreak part 2]])<br />
<br />
===Nuclear Warheads===<br />
[[Image:Galactica nukes.jpg|200px|thumb|''Galactica'''s nuclear arsenal.]]<br />
''Galactica'' has five nuclear warheads as of "[[Bastille Day]]". Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] uses one warhead to destroy the Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] orbiting Kobol ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]), and Dr. [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] cannibalizes one to use in his [[Cylon detector]]. He later gives the warhead to [[Gina Inviere]], who detonates it aboard ''[[Cloud Nine]]''. <br />
<br />
It is unknown how many nuclear warheads ''Pegasus'' has when it encounters ''Galactica'', but the two ships pool their nuclear ordnance stockpiles after that. As of "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", ''Galactica'' possesses at least seven warheads ([[missile tube]]s 4 through 10).<br />
<br />
:''The yield of these weapons is unknown. It is likely they are of a "dial a yield" design which is common in real-life nuclear weapons. Because the physics of nuclear weapon design is a measurable science, and based on the size of the weapons seen on screen, the yield of ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> weapons may lie between 5 and 150 kilotons.''<ref>This is extrapolated from the size of the weapon, compared to a modern day ([[w:W80|W80]])-class nuclear warhead used by the United States.</ref><br />
<br />
===Vipers===<br />
:''For information on the fighter squadrons stationed on ''Galactica'' see: [[Squadrons of Galactica]]''<br />
<br />
[[image:1104Tube Mini.JPG|right|thumb|200px|A [[Viper Mark II]] in a launch tube.]]<br />
[[image:Kg zoic-studio screen-caps-065.jpg|left|thumb|200px|A [[Viper Mark VII]] in the port [[Flight pod]].]]<br />
Early in the flight of the fleet, ''Galactica'' carried "40 Vipers and 21 pilots" ([[Act of Contrition]]) , of which at least six were Mark VIIs. Following the advent of ''Pegasus'', ''Galactica'' receives supplies that aid in the repair and refurbishment of her initial fighter complement ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]). Some time later, new Mark VII Vipers are constructed at ''Pegasus''s' Viper construction facilities utilizing the raw ore mined in an asteroid belt ([[Scar]]), and several of those are assigned to ''Galactica''. <br />
<br />
With ''Pegasus'' destroyed at the [[Battle of New Caprica]], ''Galactica'' absorbs the former's fighter squadrons and personnel, and her Viper complement now counts approximately 80 planes. <ref>Dialogue from "[[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]" and "[[Sine Qua Non]]" establishes that 40 Vipers have been transferred to a Cylon basestar, which comprises half the ship's air wing.</ref><br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
===Raptors===<br />
[[image:Raptor port.jpg|right|thumb|200px|A [[Raptor]].]]<br />
The number of [[Raptor|Raptors]] available to ''Galactica'' is portrayed inconsistently. The assumption prior to joining up with ''Pegasus'' is that the battlestar has at least five Raptors, having left [[Ragnar Anchorage]] with at least eight. After the Battle of New Caprica, ''Galactica'' takes on ''Pegasus''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> Raptors. The subsequent number of available craft is unknown, but is at least 30, considering how many Raptors are deployed to rescue to the resistance fighters on Caprica ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]) and still have enough to move people from ship to ship through out the fleet.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
===Other Craft===<br />
[[image:Blackbird FotP.JPG|right|thumb|200px|The [[Blackbird]], a special stealth ship, was construted on ''Galactica''.]]<br />
[[image:AtmoShutt.jpg|right|thumb|200px|One of ''Galactica'''s [[Atmospheric shuttle| shuttle]] craft.]]<br />
*''Galactica'' possesses two [[Heavy Raider]]s. One is hit by ''Galactica''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s defensive fire and crashes into the starboard flight pod with unknown, but probably extensive, damage ([[Scattered]]). The other returns in operational status from [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[Home, Part I]]). One of these Heavy Raiders is relieved of its FTL navigation system for use on the rescue mission to Caprica ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]).<br />
* A Raider from the first Cylon War may be on board ''Galactica'' after one follows Starbuck into one of ''Pegasus''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> landing bays and is shot down ([[Razor]]). A Cylon War era Raider, or at least a replica of one, was present in the [[Galactica Museum]], but has not been mentioned since.<br />
*A second [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raider]] comes into ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> possession after [[Daniel Novacek]]'s "escape" from a basestar, replacing the one retrieved by [[Kara Thrace]] and lost during the quest for the [[Arrow of Apollo]] ([[Hero]]).<br />
*An experimental stealth fighter, the [[Blackbird]], is constructed using spare parts ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]) and used in a critically successful reconnaissance mission to explore the nature of what comes to be known as the [[Resurrection Ship]]. The Blackbird is destroyed after completing its [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship|first combat mission]] ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
*''Galactica'' possesses [[fuel tanker]]s used to supply fuel to Vipers and Raptors in flight without the need to dock with the ship. These may be dedicated craft or specially fitted shuttles or Raptors ([[Occupation]]).<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
== Crew ==<br />
:''For information on Senior Staff, see : [[Senior Staff of Galactica]]'' <br />
:''For a list of pilots, see: [[List of Pilots]]'' <br />
:''For a list of deckhands, see: [[List of deckhands]]'' <br />
:''For a list of marines, see: [[Colonial Marine Corps]]'' <br />
<br />
Before the attack, ''Galactica'' has approximately 2,900 crewmen. By the time of the arrival of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', attrition has reduced this number to about 2,660. (c.f. [[Crew tally]]) <br />
It is unknown whether the Colonial Marines account for members or not.<br />
*Between "[[Act of Contrition]]" and "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]" ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> offensive capability is also greatly hampered by the number of [[List of Pilots|qualified pilots]] available, and their lack of flight simulators with which to train more. Since ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> reunion with ''Pegasus'', this has ceased to be an issue ([[Scar]]).<br />

<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
==Colonial Fleet==<br />
<br />
==== Officer duty uniform ====<br />
[[Image:Blue mini.JPG|thumb|left|Blue duty uniform ([[Miniseries]]).]]<br />
[[Image:nBSG-PilotWings.jpg|thumb|right|Standard (left) and Elite (right) Pilot Qualification Wings (click to enlarge).]]<br />
Officers are issued double-breasted dark blue duty uniforms, informally called "blues", which overlap to the right and are secured by a column of buttons. Darker blue patches are sewn to the shoulders and upper sleeves, with a round [[Insignia (RDM)#Ship patches|patch]] bearing the [[Colonial seal]] and the wearer's ship and [[battlestar group]] on the upper left shoulder.<br />
<br />
[[Military Ranks (RDM)#Insignia|Rank insignia]] are worn on both sides of the stand-up collar. <br />
<br />
Pilot qualification wings when applicable are worn over the breast pocket on the left. These exist in two grades: "standard" and "elite"<ref>[http://www.battlestarprops.com/wings-and-their-designations/ Wings and their designations], battlestarprops.com.</ref>. The latter might be awarded for significant flight-hours or senior command qualification (e.g. capital ship).<br />
<br />
There are also other [[Insignia (RDM)#Dress uniform devices|medals and awards]] that can be worn on the left breast of the standard duty uniform, particularly by high-level command and flag officers such as Fleet Admirals. So far, the only verifiable occurrence of this thus far is Admiral [[Peter Corman]] ([[Hero]]).<br />
<br clear="both" /><br />
Fleet officer uniforms have colored piping which denotes the degree of rank of the wearer:<br />
<br />
Junior Officers:<br />
<br />
*Ensign to Major - a single grey line - [[:md:Image:JuniorOff_uni.jpg|Example]]<br />
<br />
Senior Officers:<br />
<br />
*Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel - red line on outer edge, grey line on inner edge - [[:md:Image:Colonel_uni.jpg|Example]]<br />
*Commander - red line on outer edge, gold line on inner edge - [[:md:Image:Commander_uni.jpg|Example]]<br />
<br />
Flag Officers:<br />
*Rear Admiral - gold line on outer edge, silver line on inner edge - [[:md:Image:Admiralpiping1.jpg|Example]]<br />
*Admiral - a single line of golden embroidery - [[:md:Image:Season_3_-_Promo_-_Hero_-_Admiral_Corman.jpg|Example]]<br />
<br />
:'''Note:''' When he is promoted to admiral, Adama keeps his old commander's uniform. The gold/white piping can only be seen on Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]]'s uniform.<br />
<br />
Senior Officer uniforms also include small buckles on the jacket cuffs.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
==== Officer dress uniform ====<br />
[[Image:Greys Mini.JPG|thumb|left|Dress Gray uniforms ([[Miniseries]]).]]<br />
The officers' dress uniform, known as Dress Grays, is similar to the duty uniform with a few key differences. It is gray, features a leather sash to which flight wings and [[Insignia (RDM)|decorations]] are affixed, and lacks a pocket, shoulder patches and buttons.<br />
<br />
Senior officers' uniforms also feature a piped, maroon strip around the neck. Whereas the duty uniform tunic is tucked in at the belt, the dress uniform tunic extends below the waist and features a waist belt of the same material as the sash. White gloves are worn on the most formal occasions like a visit by a head of government ([[Water]]) or by honor guards at military funerals ([[Act of Contrition]]).<br />
<br />
Shoulder cords can be worn at the left shoulder<ref>They can be seen in "[[Water]]" and on some officers in "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]", but not in the [[Miniseries]] or "[[Act of Contrition]]". It is unknown if there are rules about their use.</ref>. William Adama's cord is white, while Colonel Tigh's is yellow. Both also have different braids; it is unknown if that is an indication of rank or position. A third type of shoulder cord, double white braid with one loop going through the sash, can be seen on some lower-ranking ''Pegasus'' officers at [[Helena Cain|Admiral Cain]]'s funeral ([[Resurrection Ship]]).<br />
<br />
A special version is worn by the honor guard at the funeral in "Act of Contrition". Their sashes aren't made leather, but instead blue fabric.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
===Fleet pilot flight suit===<br />
{{mainarticle|flight suit}}<br />
[[Image:Flightsuits.JPG|thumb|left|Apollo and Starbuck in flight suits.]]<br />
Flight suits with left sleeve pockets are used by flight-qualified crew (pilots, [[ECO]]s, etc.). The flight suit is a life-support garment and can sustain the life of the pilot in hostile environments up to and including total vacuum and freezing temperature. Flight suits also have a metal collar that is attached to maintain an airtight seal between the flight suit and a helmet. Often, when not on a mission pilots wear the suit with the top half rolled down and hanging at their waist, revealing the t-shirt and tank top they wear underneath. It also has been used to make an air-tight seal in a vessel by filling in a hole in the hull ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]). Additionally, the flight suit has a chronometer mounted in a cuff.<br />
<br />
Pilots and ECOs wear several [[Insignia (RDM)#Ship patches|patches]] on their flight suits: On the left shoulder a patch designating the ship they are assigned to, and on the right shoulder a patch for what craft they operate, usually a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] or a [[Raptor]]. Moreover, a [[Squadrons of Galactica#Squadron Crests|squadron patch]] is sometimes worn on the left breast under the outer layer of the suit.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
===Fatigues===<br />
[[Image:GreenBDU.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Green fatigues]]<br />
Like the blue officer duty uniforms, the fatigue uniforms display the emblem of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, and denote what vessel the wearer is serving on. Rank insignia are affixed to both collars.<br />
<br />
The green uniform is worn by both officers in off-duty and informal situations, and enlisted crew as their regular uniform. A tan variation is worn by warrant officers.<br />
<gallery><br />

</gallery><br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
===Enlisted flight deck coverall===<br />
[[Image:Jumpsuit mini.JPG|thumb|left|Orange utility jumpsuit ([[Miniseries]]).]]<br />
When on-duty, enlisted flight deck crew wear color-coded coverall uniforms according to occupation specialty (only orange and yellow deck crew overalls have been used so far) with reflective safety tapes and rubber utility pockets.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
==Colonial Marine Corps==<br />
<br />
:''For information on real-life items and uniforms used in costuming, see [[Colonial Marine Corps#Real life costuming notes|Colonial Marine Corps]]''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Khaki litmus.JPG|thumb|Khaki fatigue uniform and black battle dress uniforms ([[Litmus]]).]]<br />
[[Image:DigitalWoodland.jpg|thumb|right|Marines with digital woodland backpacks ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]])]]<br />
Colonial [[Marines]] generally wear a solid black battle dress uniform. Additionally, black load-bearing vests, helmets, communications gear, knee and elbow pads, gloves and goggles are standard. Unlike Colonial Fleet uniforms, Marine BDUs are worn with a plain black t-shirt ([[A Measure of Salvation]]). <br />
<br />
Marine NCO's (non-commissioned officers) wear a single-breasted tan fatigue with down-turned collars bearing rank insignia, and two chest pockets which are secured by clasps.<ref>Only one marine NCO, Sergeant Hadrian, is shown wearing tan fatigues. In a production change verified by background actor Troy Rudolph, subsequent wear is reserved for warrant officers.</ref> Like the Fleet officer uniform, it has darker-shaded patches on the shoulders.<br />
<br />
Marines with special duties in ship security, wear a black armband on the right upper arm with the word "Security" printed in black letters on a small square of white. Sergeant [[Hadrian]] - as the [[Master-at-Arms]] - wears one of these.<br />
<br />
Apparently, there are no Marine officers left aboard ''Galactica'' (and possibly on ''Pegasus'' as well), as the only officer seen so far is Lieutenant [[Terry Burrell]] ([[Sacrifice]]). However, as Burrell is in plainclothes, no information about the Corps's possibly distinct officer's uniforms is available.<br />
<br />
While the general uniform worn aboard ship is solid black, the Colonial Marine Corps does utilize digital camouflage uniforms, but at least on ''Galactica'' they are not standard issue. The Marines on the Caprica rescue mission in the episodes "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]" and "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|Part II]]" wear "woodland" digital camouflage backpacks. Moreover, both Lee and William Adama wear gray, urban digital camouflage uniforms on Kobol ([[Home, Part II]]). In one of the [[Razor Flashback]] episodes, two Colonial Marine medics on ''Galactica'''s hangar deck wear "woodland" digital camouflage uniforms, thus providing more evidence of the Colonial Marines use of digital camouflage uniforms.<br />
<br />
There are a number of possible reasons why the Colonial Marines serving aboard both ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus'' are wearing solid black tactical uniforms instead of digital camouflage uniforms. One of the reasons why the Marines that serve with the Fleet are issued black combat uniforms could be due to the their role as security personnel aboard the battlestars as well as the fact the black combat uniforms are very effective in a darkened combat environment, especially in repelling any Cylon Centurions from raiding a battlestar (as in the Season 2 episode "[[Valley of Darkness]]"). Troops deployed to planets could use more specialized uniforms, but ''Galactica'' probably only has a very limited supply of these.<br />
<br />
Ron Moore explained in a blog posting why the Marines do not have much uniform variation; it is primarily a budgetary issue:<br />
:Q: "Why do the "marines" on the show always wear a CQB (close quarters battle) gear loadout in all the episodes? Even in the ones where they are outdoors? Is it possible we might see a different "marine" gear setup? "<br />
<br />
:RDM: "It's primarily a budgetary issue. We've got the CQB gear, so it's cheaper and easier to keep using it week after week than it is to rent specific items for every mission or to buy a wide variety of gear for stock. There's also a costume issue in that we don't really have specific Marine uniforms, so we use variations of our existing "naval" uniforms for the Marines and distinguish them mostly through the use of the CQB gear."<br />
<br />
==Additional uniforms and clothing ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:SP Scattered.JPG|thumb|left|Colonial Shore Patrol ([[Scattered]])]]<br />
[[Image:Urban FotP.JPG|thumb|Urban battle dress utility uniform ([[Home, Part II]]).]]<br />
The battle dress utility uniform is an urban digital camouflage pattern of various shades of dark and light grays. It features angled breast and shoulder pockets and lacks abdominal pockets, and the buttons are covered. The elbows of the battle dress utility feature large patches. The boots are either typically bloused, with the pant legs tucked into the boots; or not bloused, with the pant legs left hanging over the boots. The uniform features a Mandarin collar which can be worn up for comfort in body armor or in a down position for appearance in other situations. This uniform has been in use in the Colonial Fleet for several decades ([[Scattered]]).<ref>The digital camouflage uniforms that are used on ''Battlestar Galactica'' appear to be made by the American camouflage clothing company Tru-Spec for the commercial market and come in "woodland", "desert", and "urban" patterns. The Tru-Spec digital camouflage uniforms differ from the official MARPAT uniforms the U.S. Marine Corps in several smaller aspects.</ref><br />
<br />
Black leather boots and hexagonal [[Identification tags|identification tags]] are used with all uniforms. All uniforms except for Colonial and Marine BDUs feature left-shoulder patches indicating their assigned vessel. <br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
<br />
[[Image:Tee mini.JPG|thumb|left|T-shirt and tank top worn with green fatigue pants ([[Miniseries]])]]<br />
<br />
A gray sleeveless tee shirt covered by a brown tank top is worn beneath all uniforms, including at least the flight suit, the duty uniforms, BDUs, the deck crew work uniforms, and Dr. [[Cottle]]'s coat ([[Miniseries]], "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]", "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]" deleted scene). Gray briefs of the same color and material as the t-shirts, either in varying lengths or in different cuts for male and female personnel, are worn under the pants ([[Scar]]).<br />
<br />
[[Image:Spacesuit(rdm).jpg|thumb|right|A damage control party in space suits ([[Water]]).]] <br />
<br />
[[Space suit (RDM)|Space suits]] exist for extra-vehicular activity or work in sections of the ship exposed to space. When ''[[Colonial Heavy 798]]'' docks with ''Galactica'' in in the [[Miniseries]], two workers are hovering in the flight pod. These space suits can be seen close up in the episodes "[[Water]]" and "[[The Road Less Traveled]]".<br />
<br />
Female systems analysts can wear a gray sweater dress-like uniform with a [[Insignia (RDM)|patch of an "Integral Systems Engineer"]]. A gray jumpsuit also exists that is be worn be both genders ([[Razor]]). <ref>This is not a military uniform, however. [[Gina Inviere]] is a civilian working for a company contracted to carry out the overhaul of ''Pegasus''.</ref><br />
<br />
<div style="clear:both;"></div><br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
According to an interview with regular series costume designer Glenne Campbell<ref>"Costume Drama." Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine. Oct./Nov. 2005: Page 64.</ref>, "The uniforms are made out of a very specific material, and we own all of that material that there is in existence -- they're not making this stuff anymore". Thus, for BSG fans that want to make their own costumes, it appears that it is technically impossible to make a complete recreation of the military uniforms on the series. As there are only a limited number of uniforms in existence, when someone gets shot, the production team usually tries to have it shot in such a way that the costume is undamaged. The crew uses a patch of cloth over the uniform that has the blood packs underneath, which is painted to blend in with the rest of the uniform; for example when [[Callandra Tyrol|Cally]] shoots [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] in "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]".<br />

}}<br />
'''''Pegasus'' (BS 62)''' is a [[Mercury class battlestar|''Mercury'' class battlestar]], commanded by Rear Admiral [[Helena Cain]] during the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].<br />
<br />
Technologically more advanced and far greater in size and firepower than the to-be-decommissioned ''[[Galactica]]'', ''Pegasus'' is presumed destroyed in the Cylon attack, but had in fact survived, eventually finding and joining ''Galactica'' and its civilian fleet. It serves a significant role in the Colonial struggle for survival until the [[Battle of New Caprica|exodus]] from [[New Caprica]]. <br />
<br />
In the [[Pegasus (Extended Version)|Extended Cut]] of the episode "Pegasus" Admiral Cain states that the ship is nearly twice the size of ''Galactica'', but needs only half the crew. This probably refers to either the dual [[landing bay|landing bays]] or the ship's volume, but not its length. The decreased manpower requirement stems from increased computerization and automation. This is also evident in the comparatively small size of the ''Pegasus'' [[CIC]].<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' is informally nicknamed "The Beast" within the Fleet ([[The Captain's Hand]]).<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[Image:Pegasus, Scorpion Shipyards.jpg|thumb|right|''Pegasus'' docked at the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]].]]<br />
<br />
Prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Pegasus'' was a prize assignment in the Colonial Fleet. [[Frank Bruno]] at the [[Caprica Transfer Station]] tells [[Kendra Shaw]] that "half the officers on this base would kill to get posted to that ship". It is apparently important enough for the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] as a military target to infiltrate, as [[Gina Inviere]] (a [[Number Six]] copy) assumes the role of network administrator on the ship ([[Razor]]). [[William Adama]] mentions the reputation of Cain and her ship to President [[Laura Roslin]] ("[[Pegasus (Extended Version)|Pegasus]]", extended version).<br />
<br />
[[Image:TheEnemysGateIsDown3.jpg|thumb|right|''Pegasus'' taking heavy fire.]]<br />
Weeks before the Fall ''Pegasus'' docked at the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]], where she was to undergo a three-month systems overhaul. All of the ship’s networked [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series|computers]] were taken off-line in preparation of the refit, leaving the heavily automated ship partially inoperative but also less vulnerable to electronic attacks. When the Cylons launch a surprise assault against the shipyard, they are only able to shut down ''Pegasus's'' weapons grid and navigational computer. The attack works in extreme favor of the Cylons, and they overtake the installation in a matter of minutes. However, the multiple nuclear weapons that they detonate create an [[EMP]] that blinds their [[DRADIS]], leaving them temporarily unaware of Colonial movement in the immediate area. Admiral Cain uses this to her advantage and orders her ship to [[Blind jump|randomly jump without a coordinates check]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:Centurion on Pegasus.jpg|thumb|right|A [[Centurion]] on ''Pegasus''.]]<br />
After their escape, Cain leads ''Pegasus'' on a series of hit-and-run attacks against Cylon assets. One such [[Battle of the Communications Relay|attack]] is against what is thought to be a lightly-defended communications relay but turns out to be a staging area with fifteen squadrons of [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raider]]s. When Cain's long-time executive officer [[Jurgen Belzen]] refuses her order to launch all of the ships' Vipers, calling it suicide, she summarily executes him in CIC and promotes [[Jack Fisk]] to replace him. During the battle, the [[Cylon agent]] [[Gina]] allows a party of [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]] to breach the ship's defenses and board, resulting in heavy casualties. When Gina is exposed as a Cylon, she kills several Marines before she is subdued. Once imprisoned, Admiral Cain directs her crew to use extreme methods, including gang-rape and other physical and emotional abuse, to break the prisoner.<br />
<br />
Some time later, ''Pegasus'' realizes that a Cylon fleet it is tracking is not jumping randomly but is following a path along systems with natural resources. When it jumps to scout the Cylons' next projected position, ''Pegasus'' encounters the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] led by ''[[Galactica]]''; it turns out the Cylons are jumping to systems ''Galactica'' has passed through or explored. Cain assumes overall command of the Fleet and begins transferring supplies and personnel between the two battlestars, including Captain [[Lee Adama]] and Lieutenant [[Kara Thrace]]. Cain's indifference to the needs of the civilian ships prompts President [[Laura Roslin]] to raise her concerns with Commander [[William Adama]].<br />
<br />
When Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] and Lieutenant [[Karl Agathon]] inadvertently kill Cain's chief "Cylon interrogator" Lieutenant [[Alastair Thorne]], Admiral Cain has no reservations sentencing them to death.<ref>During his interrogation by Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] in "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]", Chief Tyrol mentions that he served aboard a number of battlestars in his military career, including ''Pegasus'', but doesn't mention if Cain was in command at the time. If she was and ever knew him then, she makes no mention of it.</ref> Commander Adama demands their return, precipitating an armed standoff between the two ships ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]). The two later set aside their animosity and join forces to successfully destroy a Cylon [[Resurrection Ship]]. During the immediate celebrations that follow, however, Cain is ambushed in her quarters by Gina, who shoots her and escapes from the battlestar undetected ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
Jack Fisk succeeds Cain as commander of ''Pegasus'', who in turn is murdered after running afoul of the Fleet's illicit black market ([[Black Market]]). Command then falls briefly to chief engineer-turned-commander [[Barry Garner]], who dies saving the ship during the [[Battle of the Binary Star System]]. ''Pegasus's'' final commander is Lee Adama ([[The Captain's Hand]]), with his wife [[Anastasia Dualla]] later serving as his XO ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
===A Lost Civilian Fleet===<br />
<br />
[[Image:Lost Civilian Fleet.gif|thumb|Several ships of civilian fleet found by Pegasus.]]<br />
''Pegasus'' encounters its own small fleet of 15 civilian ships, found about a week after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. Rather than defend them as ''Galactica'' did its own at [[Ragnar Anchorage]], Admiral Cain uses them as a source of spare parts, deciding that ''Pegasus's'' military needs take priority over theirs.<br />
<br />
Cain also reviews their passenger lists and draws up a list of selectees, people such as aeronautical engineer [[Peter Laird]] who would be of value, to forcibly draft into her crew. However, some are with their families and refuse to leave them. Facing an uprising aboard the civilian transport ''[[Scylla]]'' that spreads to the other ships, Admiral Cain orders Colonel Fisk to shoot the families of any who resist. When the angry crowd gets violent, Lieutenant [[Kendra Shaw]] and her Marines carry out the order, killing 10 people and cowing the rest into submission.<br />
<br />
The civilian ships are stripped of useful items, including their weapons and FTL drives, and are left to their fate as ''Pegasus'' resumes her campaign of hit-and-run attacks against the Cylons ("[[Razor]]", "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]").<br />
<br />
===New Caprica===<br />
<br />
Following the founding of [[New Caprica]], ''Pegasus'' is assigned to the Orbital Defense Force that protects the planet. During this time, Commander [[Lee Adama]] keeps an emergency supply of medication aboard for the pilots, despite the fact that their crew are severely depleted due to colonization of the planet. One year after the founding the colony, the Cylons return in force. Unable to defend the planet, ''Pegasus'' and the remaining ships orbiting the planet jump away ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
Four months later, ''Pegasus'' and ''Galactica'' plan a rescue mission to recover the people left on the planet ([[Occupation]]). While the plans initially called for the involvement of ''Pegasus'' in the recovery, Admiral Adama decides that the remnants of the Fleet, the last free people of humanity, should not be left unprotected if things went awry. Adama takes ''Galactica'' in the rescue effort without ''Pegasus'', ordering his son to stay with the Fleet at a rendezvous point to await their return ("[[Precipice]]", "[[Exodus, Part I]]").<br />
<br />
Despite Adama's orders, ''Pegasus'' leaves her fighters to protect the remains of the Fleet and returns to New Caprica to participate in the rescue. ''Pegasus'' jumps into the fight and finds ''Galactica'' under fire from four Cylon basestars. ''Pegasus'' destroys one of the baseships with her forward batteries and attracts the attention of the others while ''Galactica'' repairs its FTL drive and prepares to jump away.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Pegaus Ram (3).jpg|thumb|Pegasus' destruction.]]<br />
''Pegasus'' reels from the onslought of missiles from the remaining Cylon basestars. It becomes clear to Admiral Adama that ''Pegasus's'' trip was one-way. Following ''Galactica's'' jump, Commander Adama sets his battlestar's batteries on auto-fire and orders the crew to abandon ship, pausing just long enough to give his dying command a quiet thanks. As the evacuation Raptors jump away, ''Pegasus'', mortally damaged and now completely unmanned, collides with a basestar, destroying it. As ''Pegasus'' explodes, the remains of her starboard [[flight pod]] collides with another basestar, destroying it as well ([[Exodus, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' has built-in electronic countermeasure (ECM) generators to ward off missiles aimed at the ship ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' also has [[Viper Mark VII]] production facilities, allowing the ship to re-arm itself on extended deployments, provided the battlestar has access to raw materials such as ore ([[Scar]]).<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' also has two Raptor take off pads on both sides of the flight pods seen in the ([[Razor]])<br />
<br />
==Air Wing==<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' operates at least 10 squadrons of Viper Mark VII space fighters. During the [[Battle of the Binary Star System]] four [[:Category:Fighter squadrons|color-coded squadrons]] are identified verbally and on the [[DRADIS]] ([[The Captain's Hand]]). Since these designations are later used for very different squadrons led by different people, they are very likely just [[wireless]] callsigns. Moreover, the standing [[Squadrons of Galactica|squadrons on ''Galactica'']] have more elaborate names and are numbered; such as the [[Vigilantes]]. The colors and group leaders could be assigned on an ad-hoc basis, while a more formal structure exists in the background. <br />
<br />
Given that ''Pegasus'' suffers over 90 Viper casualties with 32 being destroyed during its [[Battle of the Communications Relay|attack on a Cylon communications relay]] ([[Razor]]), but is still able to field a sizable Viper complement at the time of encountering ''Galactica'', this suggests that her initial Viper load out was very large. The exact number of Vipers per squadron for a full-strength battlestar is approx 20 ([[Battlestar Galactica RPG]]). Also, ''Pegasus'' fielded approx 8 squadrons of Vipers and 2 reserve squadrons, the number of Vipers per squadron must have been 20 to equal up to 200 Vipers.<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' has approximately 50 [[Raptor]]s, since they've lost over half of their fighters and recon craft, and 20 Raptors can be deployed for the [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] rescue mission, while ''Galactica'' alone appears to have difficulties deploying more than about 5 Raptors at one time ("[[The Farm]]", "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]").<br />
<br />
==Crew==<br />
====Senior Staff at Time of Destruction====<br />
*Commander [[Lee Adama]] - Commanding officer<br />
*Lieutenant [[Anastasia Dualla]] - [[Executive officer]]<br />
*Lieutenant [[Louis Hoshi]] - [[Communications officer]]<br />
<br />
====Former Members of the Senior Staff====<br />
*Rear Admiral [[Helena Cain]] - Commanding officer (Killed by [[Gina]])<br />
*Commander [[Jack Fisk]] - Commanding officer (Killed by racketeers in the [[Black market (organization)|black market]])<br />
*Commander [[Barry Garner]] - Commanding officer (Killed in action)<br />
*Major [[Kendra Shaw]] - Cain's aide; [[Lee Adama]]'s XO (Killed in action by destroying the [[Guardian basestar]])<br />
*Colonel [[Jurgen Belzen]] - Executive officer (Killed by Admiral Cain)<br />
*Captain [[Cole Taylor]] - [[CAG|Commander, Air Group]] (Demoted by Admiral Cain)<br />
*Captain [[Kara Thrace]] - Commander, Air Group (Replaced Cole Taylor in "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]" but transferred to ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' at some time after "[[Razor]]")<br />
*Lieutenant [[Alastair Thorne]] - Cylon interrogator (Killed by [[Galen Tyrol]])<br />
*[[Peter Laird]] - Chief of the deck (Civilian conscripted by Admiral Cain; later murdered by [[Tom Zarek]])<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*According to [[David Eick]]'s video blog, it would have been impossible to afford creating new sets for the entire interior of ''Pegasus'' on the budget of an episodic television show. This expense was circumvented when a year beforehand Ron D. Moore and David Eick bought (for next to nothing) the abandoned sets of the failed pilot for the FOX network's ''Lost In Space'' remake, directed by John Woo. The production team then held onto the sets hoping to find some later use for them, eventually using them for "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]". The sets were then radically redesigned and painted to give them the aesthetic look of ''Galactica'', but sleeker and more advanced.<br />
*This ship is named after [[w:Pegasus|the winged horse from Greek mythology]].<br />

<br />
'''Atmospheric shuttles'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> are vessels whose primary role is ferrying passengers to and from the different vessels within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] or to a planet's surface.<br />
<br />
Atmospheric shuttles appear on both military and civilian vessels. A shuttle is seen in ''[[Galactica]]'''s [[landing bay]] ([[Miniseries]]) and on the hangar deck of ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).<br />
<br />
An atmospheric shuttle ferries a [[Laura Roslin faction|group]] around Laura Roslin seeking the whereabouts of Earth to the [[Galleon Meadow]] on [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] ([[Home, Part I]]), and docks to ''Galactica'' in "[[Act of Contrition]]". A shuttle is also seen at rest on the surface of [[New Caprica]] during its colonization, and during food retrieval efforts on the [[algae planet]] ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).<br />
<br />
When [[Kendra Shaw]] waits at the [[Caprica Transfer Station]] for her lift to the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]], she sees a shuttle taking off outside the tent ([[Razor]]).<br />
<br />
Three distinct shuttle models have been identified. For classification purposes only, as their true specifications are unknown, they are identified on this page as follows: "Heavy" Shuttle, "General Purpose" Shuttle, and [[Cylon War]]-era Shuttle. <br />
<br />
== "Heavy" Shuttle ==<br />
First seen in the opening scene of the Miniseries, it appears to be a clear homage to the original shuttle seen in [[TOS]]. There is little to use to gauge the true size of the craft, but it ''appears'' to be larger with it's bulk more fully filled out down the length of the vessel.<br />
<br />

</gallery><br />
<br />
This model is definitely [[FTL]] capable per the exchange between Commander [[William Adama]] and Lt. [[Felix Gaeta]] in the Miniseries: "Courier officer's overdue coming back from Armistice Station. They've asked for a full status report on all FTL-capable ships just in case they need somebody to jump out there today....". Clearly a FTL capable vessel was required to reach the Armistice Station.<br />
<br />
== "General Purpose" Shuttle ==<br />
This model appears to be the most commonly used, especially in civilian service. But it is also used by the military as well. However it is never clear if this model has FTL capability.<br />

== Cylon War-era Shuttle ==<br />
This model, as best can be determined by the one low resolution shot of it from the Miniseries and [[Razor Flashbacks]], is TOS version of the shuttle. Again, it is not known if this model is FTL capable either.<br />
<br />
Gauging by the Mk II Vipers near the shuttle in the image, one can determine a very rough approximation of the shuttle being about the equivalent of 2-3 Vipers in length. <br />

A shuttle is also seen at rest on the surface of [[New Caprica]] during its colonization, and during food retrieval efforts on the [[algae planet]] ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).<br />
<br />
When [[Kendra Shaw]] waits at the [[Caprica Transfer Station]] for her lift to the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]], she sees a shuttle taking off outside the tent ([[Razor]]).<br />
<br />
Three distinct shuttle models have been identified. For classification purposes only, as their true specifications are unknown, they are identified on this page as follows: "Heavy" Shuttle, "General Purpose" Shuttle, and [[Cylon War]]-era Shuttle. <br />
<br />
== "Heavy" Shuttle ==<br />
First seen in the opening scene of the Miniseries, it appears to be a clear homage to the original shuttle seen in [[TOS]]. There is little to use to gauge the true size of the craft, but it ''appears'' to be larger with it's bulk more fully filled out down the length of the vessel.<br />
<br />

Image:Port_rear_view_of_Atmospheric_Shuttle.gif|Port rear view<br />
Image:Atmospheric shuttle-detailed exterior shot.gif|Detailed exterior shot<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
This model is definitely [[FTL]] capable per the exchange between Commander [[William Adama]] and Lt. [[Felix Gaeta]] in the Miniseries: "Courier officer's overdue coming back from Armistice Station. They've asked for a full status report on all FTL-capable ships just in case they need somebody to jump out there today....". Clearly a FTL capable vessel was required to reach the Armistice Station.<br />
<br />
== "General Purpose" Shuttle ==<br />
This model appears to be the model most commonly used, especially in civilian service, but is also used by the military as well. However it is never clear if this model has FTL capability.<br />

</gallery><br />
<br />
== Cylon War-era Shuttle ==<br />
This model, as best can be determined by the one low resolution shot of it from the Miniseries and [[Razor Flashbacks]], is the TOS version of the shuttle. Again, it is not known if this model is FTL capable either.<br />
<br />
Gauging by the Mk II Vipers near the shuttle in the image, one can determine a very rough approximation of the shuttle being about the equivalent of 2-3 Vipers in length. <br />

== Create a page box ==<br />
<br />
What do people think about adding a "create a page" box on the Main Page, so that it's easier for contributors to create new pages? Basically, how the "create a page" feature would work is it would be much the same as the input box on the [[BW:TANK|Think Tank]] page: type the name and press "create this article". Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 19:02, 29 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
:Fine by me. I'll never use it, of course, but it would make life easier (and more obvious) for other contributors. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 03:12, 30 June 2007 (CDT)<br />

<br />
== Additional changes ==<br />
<br />
Since we've changed the nomenclature a bit around here, we're going to be changing the names of a few of our locales as well to mirror this. <br />
<br />
* The '''[[BW:AN|Administrators' noticeboard]]''' will be changed into the '''Chiefs' noticeboard'''.<br />
* The '''[[BW:WQ|Wikipedians' Quorum]]''' will be changed into the '''Galactipedians' Quorum'''.<br />
<br />
For backwards compatibility, we'll be keeping the original names and shortcuts as redirects. <br />
<br />
As for the [[BW:REF|reference desk]], I'm thinking we should just merge the content into the appropriate guidelines and policies and get rid of it, since it's hardly used. Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 15:18, 28 September 2007 (CDT)<br />
:Isn't that supposed to be Galactipedians' rather than Galacti''ca''pedians'? As for the plan itself, it's fine by me. I've never seen any activity at the reference desk since I came here, but it sounds like a place to ask questions. Isn't that already covered at the noticeboard and the Quorum? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 15:32, 28 September 2007 (CDT)<br />
:: Right. :P And the reference desk is a holdover from my experiment in trying to get some WP stuff over here. There's also those FAQ lists which I think can be merged into the project namespace as well. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 15:40, 28 September 2007 (CDT)<br />

== WP's tlx template works here now ==<br />
<br />
I've ported over Wikipedia's [[w:Template:Tlx]] to [[Template:Tlx]]. Tested. It works. If you check back a long way in my edit history here you'll see I've done this with various other very useful WP templates. Tlx in particular is very, very handy for template documentation, since you don't have to manually do a bunch of <code><nowiki><code><nowiki></nowiki></code> stuff (and I note that many if not most templates here remain undocumented, so perhaps this will help inspire some documentation). — <b><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span></b> &#91;[[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]&#93; &#91;[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|cont]]&#93; <b>‹(-¿-)›</b> 10:33, 8 February 2008 (CST)<br />
: Nice! Thank you! As for the templates, about half are documented (mainly the major ones) while other smaller ones aren't.

:::I removed it. It was mainly about the comparisons to the US police or Secret Service. The article is fine without that. Saying things like "In episode so and so they did..." is ok if it can't be avoided. Since the article partly deals with their different depiction in various episodes, that's appropriate in this case.

== "Spoiler follows, highlight to read" ==<br />
<br />
Does anybody else find the "highlight to read" style distracting and kind of unprofessional? Why can't we just use a little CSS to make a pop-down spoiler box:<br />
<br />
<div class="NavFrame" style="border-style: none; padding: 0px;"><div class="NavHead" style=" text-align: left; padding: 0px;">'''Spoiler follows'''</div><div class="NavContent" style="display: none; text-align: left; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align:left; border: 1px solid #ffffff; padding: 2px; margin-top: 2px;">Adama is a cylon!</div></div></div><br />

::::The drop down does not format on lists correct. Like before, it would create a new line and interrupt the list numbers. Also, from our previous discussion on javascript expanding boxes in the middle of episodes pages (which are not at the top), templates that expand huge things of text change the entire format of the page layout when they expand. Images get shifted and it creates an unnesseary new lines that were not there before. It's always 100% width.

::I like the idea, but I'm not sure it's universally better than the current method... Especially if it will create problems like Shane mentioned. As dumb as it seems, I think the current method does have some advantages: Depending on how someone highlights the spoiler, they can control how much of the spoiler is revealed.

== Proposition for new article ==<br />
<br />
Hi! Quite new here, and since I don't find a button for creating a new article, I figure I must go through the Quorum?<br />
<br />
I'd love it if we could open a small article for adding notice for Caprica Six's unborn baby.<br />
There's no actual article for this person yet, and I have to write my mentions about it, in already existing articles like Gaius Baltar's and Caprica Six's.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the attention! {{unsigned|Iniovan}}<br />
<br />
: Do we really know anything about the baby enough to write an article? At this point, we just know that Caprica-Six is pregnant and that the father is Saul. Other than that... any analysis on it could probably fit in the episode guides. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 18:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Question on editing etiquette ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm a newbie here. So this is a question so I can hopefully avoid stepping on anyone's toes. If you see an existing article and wish to add to the information and content, would it always be best to ask the original contributor before doing so? Especially if to do so, I would have to move some items around in the original article. <br />
<br />
For example, I want to put in a new reference to supplement the article, however, it would need to go before an existing article, requiring renumbering of all of the references. <br />
<br />
I'm just trying to get a feel of what is good editing and bad editing before I put foot in mouth.<br />
<br />
thanks!<br />
Jeff Rabb<br />
:In a word, no. In addition to greatly slowing down the ability for the community to keep things up to date, it also ignores the fact that once you hit "save page" your edits become community property. There really isn't an "ownership" of articles, outside of perhaps articles in the "User" namespace. So feel free to [[BW:BOLD|be bold]] and get in those edits. If somebody takes issue with your edits they can either change it back themselves, take it up in the talk page of the article in question, and/or potentially bring it up on your talk page. New references are almost always welcome, as they're the glue that binds this place together. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 23:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC)<br />

Thanks for the advice!<br />

== How Can This Not Be Canonical? ==<br />
<br />
On the [[unnamed battlestars]] page, there is section dealing with the [[Berserk Class Escort]]. A notation notes the specific information on this class of ship is non-canonical. Presumably because it comes from the ship designer's own website vs that from one of the sanctioned websites or sources. But the ship WAS used in [[Razor]]. So how can one on one hand use it in the show and on the other hand say that any specific information on it from it's creator is non-canonical simply because TPTB never bothered to put it with a sanctioned source? It either is or isn't in my book. I'm sure this discussion has arisen many times before, but I'd like to find out the final arguement that finally determined why this source, which straddles the line, should be excluded as non-sanctioned?

== "Spoiler follows, highlight to read" ==<br />
<br />
Does anybody else find the "highlight to read" style distracting and kind of unprofessional? Why can't we just use a little CSS to make a pop-down spoiler box:<br />
<br />
<div class="NavFrame" style="border-style: none; padding: 0px;"><div class="NavHead" style=" text-align: left; padding: 0px;">'''Spoiler follows'''</div><div class="NavContent" style="display: none; text-align: left; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align:left; border: 1px solid #ffffff; padding: 2px; margin-top: 2px;">Adama is a cylon!</div></div></div><br />

== Proposition for new article ==<br />
<br />
Hi! Quite new here, and since I don't find a button for creating a new article, I figure I must go through the Quorum?<br />
<br />
I'd love it if we could open a small article for adding notice for Caprica Six's unborn baby.<br />
There's no actual article for this person yet, and I have to write my mentions about it, in already existing articles like Gaius Baltar's and Caprica Six's.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the attention! {{unsigned|Iniovan}}<br />
<br />
: Do we really know anything about the baby enough to write an article? At this point, we just know that Caprica-Six is pregnant and that the father is Saul. Other than that... any analysis on it could probably fit in the episode guides. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 18:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Question on editing etiquette ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm a newbie here. So this is a question so I can hopefully avoid stepping on anyone's toes. If you see an existing article and wish to add to the information and content, would it always be best to ask the original contributor before doing so? Especially if to do so, I would have to move some items around in the original article. <br />
<br />
For example, I want to put in a new reference to supplement the article, however, it would need to go before an existing article, requiring renumbering of all of the references. <br />
<br />
I'm just trying to get a feel of what is good editing and bad editing before I put foot in mouth.<br />
<br />
thanks!<br />
Jeff Rabb<br />
:In a word, no. In addition to greatly slowing down the ability for the community to keep things up to date, it also ignores the fact that once you hit "save page" your edits become community property. There really isn't an "ownership" of articles, outside of perhaps articles in the "User" namespace. So feel free to [[BW:BOLD|be bold]] and get in those edits. If somebody takes issue with your edits they can either change it back themselves, take it up in the talk page of the article in question, and/or potentially bring it up on your talk page. New references are almost always welcome, as they're the glue that binds this place together. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 23:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC)<br />

Thanks for the advice!<br />

== How Can This Not Be Canonical? ==<br />
<br />
On the [[unnamed battlestars]] page, there is section dealing with the [[Berserk-class escorts]]. A notation notes the specific information on this class of ship is non-canonical. Presumably because it comes from the ship designer's own website vs that from one of the sanctioned websites or sources. But the ship WAS used in [[Razor]]. So how can one on one hand use it in the show and on the other hand say that any specific information on it from it's creator is non-canonical simply because TPTB never bothered to put it with a sanctioned source? It either is or isn't in my book. I'm sure this discussion has arisen many times before, but I'd like to find out the final arguement that finally determined why this source, which straddles the line, should be excluded as non-sanctioned?

== Create a page box ==<br />
<br />
What do people think about adding a "create a page" box on the Main Page, so that it's easier for contributors to create new pages? Basically, how the "create a page" feature would work is it would be much the same as the input box on the [[BW:TANK|Think Tank]] page: type the name and press "create this article". Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 19:02, 29 June 2007 (CDT)<br />

<br />
== Additional changes ==<br />
<br />
Since we've changed the nomenclature a bit around here, we're going to be changing the names of a few of our locales as well to mirror this. <br />
<br />
* The '''[[BW:AN|Administrators' noticeboard]]''' will be changed into the '''Chiefs' noticeboard'''.<br />
* The '''[[BW:WQ|Wikipedians' Quorum]]''' will be changed into the '''Galactipedians' Quorum'''.<br />
<br />
For backwards compatibility, we'll be keeping the original names and shortcuts as redirects. <br />
<br />
As for the [[BW:REF|reference desk]], I'm thinking we should just merge the content into the appropriate guidelines and policies and get rid of it, since it's hardly used. Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 15:18, 28 September 2007 (CDT)<br />
:Isn't that supposed to be Galactipedians' rather than Galacti''ca''pedians'? As for the plan itself, it's fine by me. I've never seen any activity at the reference desk since I came here, but it sounds like a place to ask questions. Isn't that already covered at the noticeboard and the Quorum? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 15:32, 28 September 2007 (CDT)<br />
:: Right. :P And the reference desk is a holdover from my experiment in trying to get some WP stuff over here.

I've ported over Wikipedia's [[w:Template:Tlx]] to [[Template:Tlx]]. Tested. It works. If you check back a long way in my edit history here you'll see I've done this with various other very useful WP templates. Tlx in particular is very, very handy for template documentation, since you don't have to manually do a bunch of <code><nowiki><code><nowiki></nowiki></code> stuff (and I note that many if not most templates here remain undocumented, so perhaps this will help inspire some documentation). — <b><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span></b> &#91;[[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]&#93; &#91;[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|cont]]&#93; <b>‹(-¿-)›</b> 10:33, 8 February 2008 (CST)<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:landram.jpg|thumb|The landram party on Carillon.]]<br />
A '''landram''' is a tracked vehicle used for ground operations ([[Saga of a Star World]]), typically shuttled to a planet via a [[Colonial Shuttle|shuttle]] ([[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I]]). It is capable of holding crew and cargo, and is equipped with a top mounted turret weapon. A landram was used for the initial scouting of [[Carillon]]. They were later used to evacuate civilians and warriors from the "pleasure resort" on the planet ([[Saga of a Star World]]). <br />
<br />
A landram is deployed to the surface of [[Kobol (TOS)|Kobol]] ([[Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
A version of the landram modified for use in frigid climates is the [[snowram]] ([[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
Another modified version, this time without the cabin and open to the air, and presumably without Colonial markings, appears in "[[The Magnificent Warriors]]". It is stolen by agents of the Sheriff in [[Serenity]].<br />

[[Image:Landramtos.jpg|thumb|left|A landram briefly seen in the [[Miniseries]].]]<br />
[[Image:ColonialVehicleScar.jpg|thumb|right|Landram on an asteroid ([[Scar]]).]]<br />
A landram is among the Original Series vehicles in the [[Galactica Museum|exhibition]] in ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'''s starboard hangar bay in the [[Miniseries]]. Included in the display are an original [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]], [[shuttle]] and Cylon Raider.<br />
<br />
A landram also appears at the beginning of the episode "[[Scar]]", aiding the ''[[Majahual]]'' in mining activities on an asteroid. Another one is hit by a crash-landing Raptor in ''Galactica''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[landing bay]] ([[Escape Velocity]]).<br />

<div>== Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
Greetings, {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Battlestar Wiki! I'm pleased to tell you that you have full editing privileges on every wiki in the Battlestar Wiki network. I hope you enjoy your stay with us and am looking forward to your contributions to the Wiki! Why not begin by telling us a bit about yourself on your own [[User:{{PAGENAME}}|user page]]?<br />
<br />
As you may already know, Battlestar Wiki covers all the ''Battlestar Galactica'' series from past to present, in addition to authorized merchandise. Presently, we don't cover fan fiction, but our sister-site, [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]], does so. We're also not a discussion site, although we do have an ever-growing [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum] where people can discuss the various shows and non-BSG topics as well!<br />
<br />
To get started on the wiki, we suggest that you check out our [[BW:TUT|tutorial]], experiment in [[BW:SAND|the sandbox]] (a test editing area for those learning wiki code), and review some of our basic [[BW:POL|policies]] (which have important differences from other SF wikis). For some general questions and answers about the navigation and operation of the Wiki, check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ).<br />
<br />
Of course, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you are more than welcome to bring them up at the [[BW:CN|Chiefs' noticeboard]] (which is frequented by the administrators of the Wiki) and at the [[BW:GQ|Galactipedians' Quorum]] (which is the hub for contributors, who are called "Galactipedians").<br />
<br />
Furthermore, if you don't wish to see the ads, then please consider upgrading your account to a [[BW:MEMBERSHIP|paid membership]], which costs only $10 USD a year and helps support the wiki financially. This membership also extends to the [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum], where you can talk to other members about the show and most anything that you want to talk about to BSG fans! We think this is very cool, and we hope you do as well! <br />
<br />
Thank you for joining us! Hope to see you soon!<br />

Hi Jeff,<br />
<br />
Welcome aboard (again)! I've read the brief item on your user page and notice that you mentioned that we're missing some information. What information do you feel/see that we do not presently have? Also, if you have any quesstions on how to edit, you can start off at our [[BW:TUT|tutorial]] and always feel free to ask us! Cheers! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 21:27, 5 April 2009 (UTC)<br />
:He's obviously referencing some of the remaining [[BW:POD|podcast transcripts]] that need to be transcribed/verified. *nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more* *sigh* But likely not. Like Joe says, though, feel free to ask for help. and don't be afraid to dive in. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 23:39, 5 April 2009 (UTC)<br />

Hi, yes, I've found a name for yet another battlestar on a single frame in the miniseries. It is when Dee is receiving the frantic comms traffic right after the initial Cylon assualt and Lt Gaeta <sic> asks her: "What's the latest, Dee?". During her response, the camera focuses onto the messages she's just printed off. You have to slow the film down and go frame by frame, but in one frame you clearly see the header of one of the messages is from the "Battlestar Uned". Obviously there is nothing in any mythology with the name of Uned. My guess, it's a writer's room joke never meant to be noticed. {{unsigned|Jeffrabb}}<br />
: That was the props department. A lot of the prop paperwork was nonsensical to begin with anyway. I do believe the document says that there is a battlestar named "Uned." -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 14:23, 6 April 2009 (UTC)<br />

== Uploading images ==<br />
<br />
I've read all the guidelines concerning the issue of uploads, but gosh darn it, I can't figure out how or WHERE you do the uploads at. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks<br />

== Documenting Contributions ==<br />
<br />
Don't let me stop you from documenting the stuff that you've done on your user page (other people do it too, and I've got a couple of projects highlighted on my own page), but I just thought I'd point out that everybody also has a detailed, edit by edit, record of their contributions. I'll grant that most people probably don't take the time to check it out, but it's the real meat of what they've done and I occasionally will skim the contribs of others to kinda check out what type of spaces they like to move in. [[Special:Contributions/Jeffrabb|Yours]] currently matches your user page pretty well. I was just pointing out that special page in case you ever wanted to check that out, or if you ever tire of keeping up with all your edits. Also, sometimes the edit remarks are funnier/more insightful/better than the actual edit itself. Anyways, keep up the good work. It's appreciated. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 03:37, 8 May 2009 (UTC)<br />

:Mucho Gracias! Thank you for the feed back. My revision of the Atmospheric Shuttles was the first time I've REALLY touched someone else's stuff and I've been kinda cringing just waiting for the first shriek of outrage :p</div>Jeffrabbhttps://en.battlestarwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Atmospheric_shuttle&diff=179766Atmospheric shuttle2009-05-07T21:55:03Z<p>Jeffrabb: </p>

<br />
'''Atmospheric shuttles'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> are vessels whose primary role is ferrying passengers to and from the different vessels within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] or to a planet's surface.<br />
<br />
Atmospheric shuttles appear on both military and civilian vessels. A shuttle is seen in ''[[Galactica]]'''s [[landing bay]] ([[Miniseries]]) and on the hangar deck of ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).<br />
<br />
An atmospheric shuttle ferries a [[Laura Roslin faction|group]] around Laura Roslin seeking the whereabouts of Earth to the [[Galleon Meadow]] on [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] ([[Home, Part I]]), and docks to ''Galactica'' in "[[Act of Contrition]]". A shuttle is also seen at rest on the surface of [[New Caprica]] during its colonization, and during food retrieval efforts on the [[algae planet]] ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).<br />
<br />
When [[Kendra Shaw]] waits at the [[Caprica Transfer Station]] for her lift to the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]], she sees a shuttle taking off outside the tent ([[Razor]]).<br />
<br />
Three distinct shuttle models have been identified. For classification purposes only, as their true specifications are unknown, they are identified on this page as follows: "Heavy" Shuttle, "General Purpose" Shuttle, and [[Cylon War]]-era Shuttle. <br />
<br />
== "Heavy" Shuttle ==<br />
First seen in the opening scene of the Miniseries, it appears to be a clear homage to the original shuttle seen in the [[TOS]]. There is little to use to gauge the true size of the craft, but it ''appears'' to be larger with it's bulk more fully filled out down the length of the vessel.<br />
<br />

Image:Port_rear_view_of_Atmospheric_Shuttle.gif|Port rear view<br />
Image:Atmospheric shuttle-detailed exterior shot.gif|Detailed exterior shot<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
This model is definitely [[FTL]] capable per the exchange between Commander [[William Adama]] and Lt. [[Felix Gaeta]] in the Miniseries: "Courier officer's overdue coming back from Armistice Station. They've asked for a full status report on all FTL-capable ships just in case they need somebody to jump out there today....". Clearly a FTL capable vessel was required to reach the Armistice Station. <br />
<br />
== "General Purpose" Shuttle ==<br />
This model appears to be the model most commonly used, especially in civilian service, but is also used by the military as well. However it is never clear if this model has FTL capability.<br />

<br />
== Cylon War-era Shuttle ==<br />
This model, as best can be determined by the one low resolution shot of it from the Miniseries and [[Razor Flashbacks]], is the TOS version of the shuttle. Again, it is not known if this model is FTL capable either.<br />
<br />
Gauging by the Mk II Vipers near the shuttle in the image, one can determine a very rough approximation of the shuttle being about the equivalent of 2-3 Vipers in length. <br />

</gallery><br />
<br />
This model is definitely [[FTL]] capable per the exchange between Commander [[William Adama]] and Lt. [[Felix Gaeta]] in the Miniseries: "Courier officer's overdue coming back from Armistice Station. They've asked for a full status report on all FTL-capable ships just in case they need somebody to jump out there today....". Clearly a FTL capable vessel was required to reach the Armistice Station. <br />
<br />
== "Utility" Shuttle ==<br />
This model appears to be the model most commonly used, especially in civilian service, but is used by the military as well. However it is never clear if this model has FTL capability.<br />

<br />
== Cylon War-era Shuttle ==<br />
This model, as best can be determined by the one low resolution shot of it from the Miniseries, is the TOS version of the shuttle. Again, it is not known if this model is FTL capable either.<br />
<br />
Gauging by the Mk II Vipers near the shuttle in the image, one can determine a very rough approximation of the shuttle being about the equivalent of 2-3 Vipers in length. <br />

<div>Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm new to Wiki, but I've joined up as I've noticed a few things in BSG that hasn't made it onto this VERY useful website. I hope to soon be able to learn how to contribute here.<br />
<br />
Jeff Rabb<br />
<br />
== My first contribution ==<br />
I've just added an article on a new battlestar, [[Uned]]<br />
<br />
Hope it's helpful!<br />

[[Battlestar Wiki:Welcome, newcomers|Welcome, newcomers]] and baffled oldtimers! If you have a question about [[Battlestar Wiki]] and how it works, please place it '''at the bottom of the list''', and someone will attempt to answer it for you. (If you have a question about life, the universe and everything, go to the [[Battlestar Wiki:reference desk|reference desk]] instead.)<br />
<br />
Before asking a question, check if it's answered by the [[Battlestar Wiki:FAQ]] or other pages linked from [[Battlestar Wiki:Help]].<br />
<br />
Before answering a newcomer's question abruptly, consider rereading [[BW:BITE|Please do not bite the newcomers]].<br />
<br />
Questions and answers will not remain on this page indefinitely (otherwise it would very soon become too long to be editable). After a period of time with no further activity, information will be moved to other relevant sections of Battlestar Wiki (such as the FAQ pages) or placed in one of the Wikipedian Quorum archives if it is of general interest, or deleted. Please consider dating and titling your discussions so as to facilitate this.<br />

== Create a page box ==<br />
<br />
What do people think about adding a "create a page" box on the Main Page, so that it's easier for contributors to create new pages? Basically, how the "create a page" feature would work is it would be much the same as the input box on the [[BW:TANK|Think Tank]] page: type the name and press "create this article". Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 19:02, 29 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
:Fine by me. I'll never use it, of course, but it would make life easier (and more obvious) for other contributors. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 03:12, 30 June 2007 (CDT)<br />
: Update: This'll be implemented in a few days. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 15:18, 28 September 2007 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Additional changes ==<br />
<br />
Since we've changed the nomenclature a bit around here, we're going to be changing the names of a few of our locales as well to mirror this. <br />
<br />
* The '''[[BW:AN|Administrators' noticeboard]]''' will be changed into the '''Chiefs' noticeboard'''.<br />
* The '''[[BW:WQ|Wikipedians' Quorum]]''' will be changed into the '''Galactipedians' Quorum'''.<br />
<br />
For backwards compatibility, we'll be keeping the original names and shortcuts as redirects. <br />
<br />
As for the [[BW:REF|reference desk]], I'm thinking we should just merge the content into the appropriate guidelines and policies and get rid of it, since it's hardly used. Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 15:18, 28 September 2007 (CDT)<br />
:Isn't that supposed to be Galactipedians' rather than Galacti''ca''pedians'? As for the plan itself, it's fine by me. I've never seen any activity at the reference desk since I came here, but it sounds like a place to ask questions. Isn't that already covered at the noticeboard and the Quorum? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 15:32, 28 September 2007 (CDT)<br />
:: Right. :P And the reference desk is a holdover from my experiment in trying to get some WP stuff over here. There's also those FAQ lists which I think can be merged into the project namespace as well. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 15:40, 28 September 2007 (CDT)<br />

== WP's tlx template works here now ==<br />
<br />
I've ported over Wikipedia's [[w:Template:Tlx]] to [[Template:Tlx]]. Tested. It works. If you check back a long way in my edit history here you'll see I've done this with various other very useful WP templates. Tlx in particular is very, very handy for template documentation, since you don't have to manually do a bunch of <code><nowiki><code><nowiki></nowiki></code> stuff (and I note that many if not most templates here remain undocumented, so perhaps this will help inspire some documentation). — <b><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span></b> &#91;[[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]&#93; &#91;[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|cont]]&#93; <b>‹(-¿-)›</b> 10:33, 8 February 2008 (CST)<br />
: Nice! Thank you! As for the templates, about half are documented (mainly the major ones) while other smaller ones aren't. Of course, they should be all documented, but it's a matter of prioritizing which one's need to be documented the most. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 10:38, 8 February 2008 (CST)<br />

:::D'oh. One being a redir to the other, with dox preseved seems to be in order.

:Looks good in general. Nice details of their appearances. Though we generally write the article bodies themselves from a strictly in-universe perspective and confine real-world references to notes (unless it's an article dealing with an obvious real-world subject of course). -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:45, 8 February 2008 (CST)<br />
::Yeah, I re-read the policy on that last night (after like 3 months); will re-re-write the article so that the real-world stuff is in the Notes section, unless someone has beat me to it. — <b><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span></b> &#91;[[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]&#93; &#91;[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|cont]]&#93; <b>‹(-¿-)›</b> 02:47, 9 February 2008 (CST)<br />
:::I removed it. It was mainly about the comparisons to the US police or Secret Service. The article is fine without that. Saying things like "In episode so and so they did..." is ok if it can't be avoided. Since the article partly deals with their different depiction in various episodes, that's appropriate in this case. So a completely re-write isn't really necessary. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:54, 9 February 2008 (CST)<br />

== "Spoiler follows, highlight to read" ==<br />
<br />
Does anybody else find the "highlight to read" style distracting and kind of unprofessional? Why can't we just use a little CSS to make a pop-down spoiler box:<br />
<br />
<div class="NavFrame" style="border-style: none; padding: 0px;"><div class="NavHead" style=" text-align: left; padding: 0px;">'''Spoiler follows'''</div><div class="NavContent" style="display: none; text-align: left; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align:left; border: 1px solid #ffffff; padding: 2px; margin-top: 2px;">Adama is a cylon!</div></div></div><br />

::::The drop down does not format on lists correct. Like before, it would create a new line and interrupt the list numbers. Also, from our previous discussion on javascript expanding boxes in the middle of episodes pages (which are not at the top), templates that expand huge things of text change the entire format of the page layout when they expand. Images get shifted and it creates an unnesseary new lines that were not there before. It's always 100% width.

::I like the idea, but I'm not sure it's universally better than the current method... Especially if it will create problems like Shane mentioned. As dumb as it seems, I think the current method does have some advantages: Depending on how someone highlights the spoiler, they can control how much of the spoiler is revealed. Also, people can gauge how much content the spoiler contains just by looking at the amount of unreadable text. --[[User:Galjamspe|Galjamspe]] 00:40, 22 March 2008 (CDT)<br />

== Proposition for new article ==<br />
<br />
Hi! Quite new here, and since I don't find a button for creating a new article, I figure I must go through the Quorum?<br />
<br />
I'd love it if we could open a small article for adding notice for Caprica Six's unborn baby.<br />
There's no actual article for this person yet, and I have to write my mentions about it, in already existing articles like Gaius Baltar's and Caprica Six's.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the attention! {{unsigned|Iniovan}}<br />
<br />
: Do we really know anything about the baby enough to write an article? At this point, we just know that Caprica-Six is pregnant and that the father is Saul. Other than that... any analysis on it could probably fit in the episode guides. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 18:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Question on editing etiquette ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm a newbie here. So this is a question so I can hopefully avoid stepping on anyone's toes. If you see an existing article and wish to add to the information and content, would it always be best to ask the original contributor before doing so? Especially if to do so, I would have to move some items around in the original article. <br />
<br />
For example, I want to put in a new reference to supplement the article, however, it would need to go before an existing article, requiring renumbering of all of the references. <br />
<br />
I'm just trying to get a feel of what is good editing and bad editing before I put foot in mouth.<br />
<br />
thanks!<br />
Jeff Rabb<br />
:In a word, no. In addition to greatly slowing down the ability for the community to keep things up to date, it also ignores the fact that once you hit "save page" your edits become community property. There really isn't an "ownership" of articles, outside of perhaps articles in the "User" namespace. So feel free to [[BW:BOLD|be bold]] and get in those edits. If somebody takes issue with your edits they can either change it back themselves, take it up in the talk page of the article in question, and/or potentially bring it up on your talk page. New references are almost always welcome, as they're the glue that binds this place together. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 23:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC)<br />

Thanks for the advice!<br />
