Battlestar Galactica is a video game created by Warthog, from Universal Interactive.
The setting of this game depicts Galactica as a veteran battleship in a setting that makes it a "prequel" of the events of the Original Series by approximately 35-45 years. The Adama seen in the game is the Original Series Adama that grows into leadership. Confirming this is the character page of the Imperious Leader Erebus, which speaks of the young Adama in the game as the one that, according to "sacred prophesies," will "lead the last surviving humans to the location of the 13th tribe." If the game is taken as canonical, Galactica is eventually fully refitted to the status seen at the start of the Original Series, without alien technology needed to aid it. The age of the battlestar implies that Galactica has fought for at least half of the 1000-Yahren War.
The Galactica of this video game is predominantly based on that of the original series, but with notable changes, designed to reflect her 500-year service and the fact that she has had to rely on alien technology for upgrades and refits. Text from the game notes:
- "The Battlestar has been repaired often and parts of its structure are clearly newer or are made of stranger, alien materials. Parts of the huge engine nacelles are broken and partly scaffolded, the repairs half-complete, the exposed structures vast and skeletal."
Given the ship is based on the original, it is logical to assume her displacement, capabilities and dimensions mirror those of the original Galactica, and the battlestar design.
Galactica's commander in the game is Magus.
Six battlestars are mentioned in the game:
Notes
This game debuted in stores on November 18, 2003. The Mini-Series of the re-imagined adventures of a new Galactica premiered on the Sci-Fi channel less than a month later, on December 8, 2003.
