Hm, how is it explained that Tigh and Tyrrol weren't affected when on this planet? --[[User:IndridCold|IndridCold]] 18:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC) | Hm, how is it explained that Tigh and Tyrrol weren't affected when on this planet? --[[User:IndridCold|IndridCold]] 18:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC) | ||
: You have to be exposed to it for long periods of time. Galactica is heavily shielded against hard radiation, whereas Ragnar is not. If you notice, it wasn't until much later that Doral gets sick after he is rescued by his other Cylons, and Leoben was sick on Ragnar. Also, Leoben was merely staking out the proverbial water hole on Ragnar, and no one knows how long he was there for. It is, after all, an unmanned military depot. Additionally, none of the other Cylons at that point (Boomer, et al.) weren't sick, since Galactica and her fleet weren't there for all that long. -- [[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> 23:41, 28 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 23:41, 28 February 2009
How do we know that Ragnar is a gas giant, or furthermore that the cloud around the Anchorage is part of the atmosphere of the gas giant? This is never specifically stated in the miniseries. Is it in a book or something?
- I think we all assumed that in order for a planet's atmosphere to extend so far out that ships could remain both in-atmosphere and in orbit, it would have to be. On further reflection, though, it makes no sense that Ragnar station could remain in orbit if it was that deep in the atmosphere. The drag must have been tremendous. I'll have to check the episode transcript and the novelization later. --Peter Farago 22:11, 12 March 2006 (CST)
