The Original Series Article Development Project is a long-winded title for a fairly large project to develop articles relating to the original Battlestar Galactica.
Reasoning
Currently, much of our attention is directed at providing information to the current Battlestar Galactica series. While the articles relating to that series are very well developed, the area of the original series remains lacking in comparison. This was noted by Spencerian on the Wiki's general talk page, which said, in part:
- ... BSG Wiki has one Achille's Heel; the comparative lack of information on the Original Series pages as opposed to the Re-imagined Series is almost shameful ...
Therefore the drive into creating content for the original series should be a concern. Obviously, this is a voluntary effort, but any fans of the original series who wish to contribute are welcome to focus their efforts in creating articles related to the original Battlestar Galactica.
Featured Content

|---|---|---|
 "The Man with Nine Lives" is the current featured episode. Contributors are encouraged to watch the featured episode and update its episode summary and help work on the episode's to do list.

Article Todo List by Episode
Feel free to add to the list of any episode, or add an episode that hasn't been listed yet.

A transcript of the episode can be found here.

Verification
Articles that have been worked on, but need verification before crossing out as completed.
- Answaw - picture plus snippet (woman in elevator right after Starbuck is busted by Athena and Cassie in the chancery)
- Base ship - used by Starbuck to describe Galactica, also used interchangeably with Basestar (TOS) (add to terminology?)
- Blonde Taurus - seems pertinent enough for an article of her own...
- Caprica Presidium - should there be a separate Caprica Presidium article, or should it go under Presidium? (This is where Serina reports from initially).
- Hasari - mythology check, exclude or separate video game content?
- Ran through the article and tried to better segregate the content. I think having one article, with the video game information, is more prudent than having a two articles.
- Imperious Leader - one of the main eps for this character
- Languatron - I've got a screencap of this handy translator.
- Rapid transport trolly - we should probably note the trolly transporter that the pilots use to get to the launch bay.
- Thousand-Yahren War - fact checking, again a big mythology ep
- Has been rewritten. Please post thoughts on talk page.
- Tucana singers - article creation plus picture
Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I
| Relevant Articles | Article Creation |
|---|---|
| |
| Character Expansion | Fact Checking/Expansion/Pics |
|
War of the Gods
- Iblis' crashed ship - Pic and significance.
Fire in Space
- Uniforms (TOS) - Need to add the fire clothing and space suits depicted in this ep.
- Galactica (TOS) - We can use some of the info in this episode to expand a bit on the layout.
General
We should probably do a series of articles similar to the RDM "Twelve Colonies" series that Peter started. Here's an idea:
- Fashions of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - Covers the clothing and other "bling bling", since it's pretty unique.
- Arts and Entertainment of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - Good place for triad, pyramid, and minor games we see in the series (in particular this would be a great place for those games we see in "Fire in Space")
- Technology of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - tech and all that
- Government of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - government, Quorum of Twelve (TOS), and all that jazz
- Society of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - society, such as religion
- Life Sciences of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - Covers the medical and psychological aspects of the Colonies, in progress
Additionally...
- List of Warriors - analog to List of pilots
- Unnamed Battlestar Galactica personnel (TOS) - analog to Unnamed Battlestar Galactica personnel
Pictures needed for...
- Blue Squadron
- Military Ranks (TOS) - could use some color
