A novelization of the Re-imagined "Battlestar Galactica" Miniseries was published by Tor Books on December 27, 2005.

The book, written by science fiction author Jeffrey A. Carver, includes a few background elements not shown in the aired Miniseries, and incorporates some deleted scenes.

Interesting additions to the novelizations include:

  • Natasi: The name given to the second copy of Number Six that viewers see, later known as Caprica-Six. Natasi is the lover of Gaius Baltar and Cylon agent who riddles the Command Navigation Program with vulnerabilities that leave the Colonial Fleet, which uses the software throughout almost all ships, in mortal peril.
  • Colonel Wakefield: The name given to the first human, the Armistice Officer, that viewers see in the Miniseries. He meets a unexpected arrival of a Cylon "diplomatic group"--and his death--on the Armistice Station. This also suggests that his son, Boxey, shares his father's last name.
