Meaning: Prison; detention center.

Brig is a US military term with one of two uses:

  1. A jail or prison on board a U.S. Navy or Coast Guard vessel.
  2. A jail or guardhouse, especially on the premises of a U.S. military installation.

Galactica seems to have originally possessed two brigs. One has at least two small cells with bunks. The other brig has one larger cell with no commodities for high-security prisoners. In the episodes in which the brigs have made appearances, there is usually a Marine guard standing watch inside the room. In the high-security brig, there are usually around four.

After Galactica-Valerii was revealed as a Cylon, Colonel Tigh ordered a third custom-made super-reinforced brig constructed. It was built for the specific purpose of containing captured Humano-Cylons, who possess strength far greater than a human's, for an extended period (Resistance). The new brig was constructed with maximum security in mind; instead of having simple bars, its walls consist of metal grid screens welded tightly together, reinforced by plexiglass (a telephone is used to communicate between the inside and outside of the cell). After being brought to Galactica, Caparica-Boomer was detained within the new Cylon-brig cell. Number Six claims that Sharon's hybrid daughter will be born in this cell (Home, Part II).

Battlestar Pegasus has a more advanced brig than Galactica, with plexiglass walls instead of metal bars, and computer ID recognition cards required for entry. The Number Six copy known as Gina was ruthlessly tortured in Pegasus's brig for an extended period, before her escape.

Notable chracters who have spent time in the brig are:
