Battlestar Group: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:15, 14 November 2006

"BSG" is an acronym for "Battlestar Group" and is also an acronym for the television series, Battlestar Galactica. See Battlestar Galactica for links to the series, the ships, and other general information about the series.

Battlestar groups are seen by Ronald D. Moore as analogous to a modern-day aircraft carrier battle group, comprising at least one battlestar, plus a number of support vessels.^[1] 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]

The following battlestar groups are known to have existed before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies; their continued existence as functional entities is dubious:

BSG 62: Led by Mercury class battlestar Pegasus, under Admiral Helena Cain.
BSG 75: Led by battlestar Galactica, under Commander William Adama.

This group's high unit number belies the age of ''Galactica'', probably the oldest commissioned ship in the Colonial Fleet, or that it's high number lowers it's priority in the colonial fleet so the lower the number the more important the group.  Alternatively, the colonial fleet may have renumbered the units at some point between the commissioning of Mercury and Galactica.
