Non-canon information
I'm against the referencing of The Official Battlestar Galactica Scrapbook in this article. The names shown are so clearly off from what is canonical that there is certainly some ancient fanwanking at work. I don't mind moving the reference to the book's article itself, but mixing it here is nothing but trouble. Making the matter worse is that "official" in those days may or may not have been so. We need a source that verifies that source or we need to remove this reference. --Spencerian 07:52, 23 April 2007 (CDT)

Taurus/Taura
