- "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 groups of military vessels centered around at least one battlestar, often supported by a number of smaller vessels.
Given the number of available battlestars at the outbreak of hostilities with the Cylon attack, it is possible that a battlestar group have more (3-4) battlestars operating as a single unit, likewise supported by additional Colonial vessels.
- The above information is seen by Ronald D. Moore as analogous to a modern-day aircraft carrier battle group.[1]
