Talk:Squadrons of Galactica/Archive 1

Shouldn't this be called Battlestar Squadrons? --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 07:23, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Maybe, maybe not. We don't really know anything about the Pegasus squadrons (except maybe if there are some insignia in "Pegasus" and LDYB). The only argument for me is that Primus and Vigilantes probably weren't stationed on Galactica all the time, but since they were that makes them Galactica squadrons again...

But if it's renamed, I'm for "Colonial Fleet squadrons". --Serenity 07:36, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Just like we dont know if Primus or Vigilantes are actually galactica squadrons... --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 08:14, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Primus might have been at one time, but the Vigilantes are definitely active, since lots of pilots have its patch on their suits --Serenity 08:45, 21 January 2007 (CST)

No. We're aware of several squadrons on Pegasus, including Red Squadron (RDM), Yellow Squadron, Green Squadron and Blue Squadron (RDM), which should be treated separately (if necessary - there's probably never going to be enough material for a parallel article). --Peter Farago 10:43, 21 January 2007 (CST)

This article here is about standing squadrons with names and patches. The following has been mentioned, although not discussed, on the talk pages of those squadron articles, and mentioned both here and in the Pegasus article. Those color coded squadrons are probably just radio designations for missions, with pilots and planes drawn from the standing squadrons as needed. Personally I agree with that, as it's the simplest explination for why they use both simple color-names and more complex names for squadrons. Or why Starbuck assigns Showboat as squadron leader on the fly (I think it was Showboat at least). Plus it's something done in real-world air forces. But as you said there is not enough information to warrant an own article, so it can stay in the Pegasus article. --Serenity 10:48, 21 January 2007 (CST)
