UIY 1138
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
UIY 1138 is Galactica's Colonial shuttle sent to Arcta in order to destroy the Ravashol pulsar.
It is shot down by a patrol of Cylon Raiders and crashes near Deathpoint Plateau (TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero").
Notes
- The shuttle registry shifts between UIY 1138 and GAL 356 due to reuse of special effects from "Saga of a Star World."
- UIY 1138 is a nod to the film 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 Industrial Light and Magic employees that produced effects for both "Saga of a Star World" and "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero."
