This article has a separate continuity.
This article is in a separate continuity, which is related to the Original Series and Galactica 1980. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.
Part of the series on
Battlestar Galactica Terminology


Like the show, the comics or novels based on the Original Series, and its spinoff, Galactica 1980, use different terminology in order to make the universe visceral to the reader. This array of terminology, used by both the Colonials and Cylons, consists of military jargon, colloquialisms, sayings, and technical terms.

This page does not serve to regurgitate or repeat terminologies used in both series, but terms that only appear in both the comics and novels. Each section is separated by publisher (Berkley, Marvel, Realm Press, et al.), in order to make the continuities clear.

Berkley novelizations
