Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I

Relevant Articles Article Creation
  • Warriors Lounge - where the party's at (spelling debatable)
    • Any thoughts on what this place is actually called? In part one it looks like there are some bunks one the upper level. I switched on subtitles hoping someone would mention it, but it doesn't get directly named in the parts that I've scanned through.
      • I always thought it was the Warrior's bunk.
        • On watching the episode, I'd tend to agree. When Boomer gets back, he puts his helmet on a rack in that room, where all the other helmets appear to be. However, when Tigh gets mad at Boomer for being drunk he threatens to send everyone back to quarters (which is like threatening to send a kid to his room... when he's already in his room). Regardless, there doesn't appear to be enough info to create an article off of right now, so I'm leaning towards dropping this for now.

  • ale - swiped for the party
  • Battle of Otarsis Quadrant - the battle resulting in the destruction of the listening post, so that Salik can land his team on the asteroid
  • Council Security - noted that the blackshirts make an appearance here
  • Cryogen tube - where you stick the sickies (until you can figure out how to heal them)
  • Cylon listening post - needs a second verification
    • Some confusion on the raider count.
  • decontamination room - looks good, but needs at least a second verification
  • Epsilon Quadrant - quadrant where Lucy says the fleet's headed -- and since they're headed towards the void, Kobol's gotta be here too
  • Imperious Leader - at the beginning (should we note the peace offer discrepancy between the epilogue and this ep?)
  • isoldin - something that the sickies get
  • Lucifer - first mission
  • Otarsis Quadrant asteroid - an article about the unnamed asteroid where the disease comes from, since it's important to the ep
  • Otarsis Quadrant - the area where the asteroid is located, judging from Lucifer's comments to Baltar
  • Outer marker - where Jolly and Boomer are forced to hold position until cleared to land
  • Pressure suit - complete with pic
  • Probe 1 - should we even bother with a pic?
    • I'd lean against it. It's kind of like Bootlegger 137. Maybe just classify it a "terminology" article?
  • Probe 2 - same as Probe 1
  • throne room - the area from where Baltar and the Imperious Leader command, at least in the beginning of the series

  • Alpha Six quadrant - mentioned by CORA?
  • asteroid dust
  • Crodan - where the "agro parts" were going to

  • Laser generator - Viper part that makes the lasers go, removed from the Recon viper
    • Could possibly be merged with Laser pump. See talk page.
  • Maitre d' - added pic and added a reference to his explaination of the "before the war" comments
  • Pulse generator - Viper part related to engines, extra one added to Recon viper
  • Quintara - the star cluster mentioned in a deleted scene
  • Sanitation ship - spoils the view (but not really)
  • short range marker beacon - used to track the Recon viper without breaking comms blackout

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:
