War of the Gods

Iblis' ship - Picture and article done. Verification needed.

Fire in Space

Uniforms (TOS) - Need to add the fire clothing and space suits depicted in this ep.
Galactica (TOS) - We can use some of the info in this episode to expand a bit on the layout.

General

We should probably do a series of articles similar to the RDM "Twelve Colonies" series that Peter started. Here's an idea:

Fashions of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - Covers the clothing and other "bling bling", since it's pretty unique.
Arts and Entertainment of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - Good place for triad, pyramid, and minor games we see in the series (in particular this would be a great place for those games we see in "Fire in Space")
Technology of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - tech and all that
Government of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - government, Quorum of Twelve (TOS), and all that jazz
Society of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - society, such as religion
Life Sciences of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - Covers the medical and psychological aspects of the Colonies, in progress

Additionally...

List of Warriors - analog to List of pilots
Unnamed Battlestar Galactica personnel (TOS) - analog to Unnamed Battlestar Galactica personnel

Pictures needed for...

Blue Squadron
Military Ranks (TOS) - could use some color
