UIY 1138: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:43, 7 May 2021

UIY 1138 is Galactica's Colonial shuttle sent to Arcta in order to destroy the Ravashol pulsar.

It is shot down by a patrol of Cylon Raiders and crashes near Deathpoint Plateau ^{(TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero")}.

Notes

The shuttle registry shifts between UIY 1138 and GAL 356 due to reuse of special effects from "Saga of a Star World."
UIY 1138 is a nod to the film THX 1138, as it features a letter shift. It is an Easter egg placed by Apogee, a special-effects company created by John Dykstra with a team of Industrial Light and Magic employees that produced effects for both "Saga of a Star World" and "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero."

-It can be seen in almost every episode. In fact it's such a popular ship that even Commander [[Cain (TOS)|Cain]] had one just like it, which he travels on when ''{{TOS|Pegasus}}'' encounters ''Galactica'' {{OS|The Living Legend, Part I}}!

-* The constant occurrence of this shuttle is a regrettable result of reuse of special effects footage throughout the Original Series and its negatively-viewed direct successor. This happened due to the high cost of special effects in terms of time and money, particularly at the time both series were produced.
