Battlestar Group: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:40, 16 October 2005

A Battlestar Group is a Colonial Fleet unit lead by a battlestar. On ship crests, badges, and documents it is often abbreviated as "BSG".

Battlestar Groups are seen by RDM as analagous to a modern-day Carrier Battle Group, comprising at least one battlestar, plus a number of support vessels. Given the number of available battlestars at the outbreak of hostilities with the Cylon attack, it is possible that a battlestar group may have comprised a number (3-4) battlestars operating as a single unit, supported by additional Colonial vessels.

Known Battlestar Groups[edit]

BSG 63: Lead by Mercury class battlestar Pegasus, under Admiral Nelena Cain.

BSG 75: Lead by battlestar Galactica, under Commander William Adama. This groups high unit number belies the age of Galactica, one of the oldest ships in the fleet.

-Given that battlestars were doubtless reassigned to different units during and after the Cylon War, it is likely that the 75th Battlestar Group was one of the final (and perhaps oldest) groups to be in the service of the Colonial Fleet prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].
