"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 seen by Ronald D. Moore as analogous to a modern-day aircraft 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.
