GAL 560: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:17, 22 August 2022

GAL 560 is Galactica's Colonial shuttle operating in or after 7348.

Lieutenant Starbuck pilots this shuttle for Commander Adama, Parrin and Grust, as Parrin shows him the Okaati fleet (Battlestar Galactica Classic #1).

Notes

The shuttle's registry is a nod to John Jackson Miller's grandfather, who served aboard the U.S.S. LST-560 in World War II.^[1]

-* UIY 1138 is a nod to the film {{W|THX 1138}}, as it features a letter shift. It is an Easter egg placed by [[Apogee]], a special-effects company created by [[John Dykstra]] with a team of {{W|Industrial Light and Magic}} employees that produced effects for both "Saga of a Star World" and "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero."
