| Part of the series on Battlestar Galactica Terminology
| |
Like the show, the comics or novels based on the Re-imagined Series, and its spinoff, Caprica, use different terminology in order to make the universe visceral to the reader. This array of terminology, used by both the Colonials and Cylons, consists of military jargon, colloquialisms, sayings, and technical terms.
This page does not serve to regurgitate or repeat terminologies used in both series, but terms that only appear in both the comics and novels. Each section is separated by publisher or installment (Dynamite Entertainment, Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, et al.), in order to make the continuities clear.

- Cappie: derogatory term for a Caprican, in use circa 51 BCH during the Caprica-Sagittaron Conflict (Battlestar Galactica: Cylon War 2).
