- This page covers the acronym for the Battlestar Group. "BSG" is also an acronym for the television series, "Battlestar Galactica." For more, view the disambiguation page.
Battlestar Groups are seen by Ronald D. Moore as analogous to a modern-day 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 63: 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.
