Use of the term "Actual"
"Actual", as in "Galactica Actual" or "Pegasus Actual" refers to a communication between one party and the actual commanding officer of the other party/entity, in real time. Instead of communication coming from the commanding officer, and being routed through the executive officer, then through a communications operator — the other party is, instead, talking to the actual CO directly. So the term "actual" is a radio or channel protocol, not a callsign. -- Hawke 09:06, 17 March 2006 (CST)
