Janet Prescott (credited as Janet Lynn Curtis in Battlestar Galactica, J.C. Larson, and later Janet Prescott-Curtis) is an American actress and producer who portrayed Sorrell in the Original Series episode, "Lost Planet of the Gods".[external 1] Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, she moved with her family to California at age 10.[external 1]
Prescott began her acting career as a contract player at Universal Studios from 1977 to 1980, working on various television shows before becoming a series regular.[external 1][external 2]
During the production of The Fall Guy, the couple had two daughters: Danielle Linnea Larson born 11 May 1984[external 6] and Nicole Kristyn Larson born 22 January 1986.[external 7]
After The Fall Guy, Prescott became Vice President of Glen Larson Productions for 18 years and served as a producer on numerous 1980s and 1990s Larson productions.[external 1] Her production credits include P.S.I. Luv U (1991), One West Waikiki (1994), and NightMan (1997), which was the last of her collaborations with Larson.[external 4]
Prescott became stepmother to Larson's four children from his first marriage: Eric, Chris, Michelle, and D.G. Larson.[external 1] In 1998, she petitioned for divorce from Glen Larson, though the proceedings were not finalized until 24 December 2008.[external 5]
In 2013, Universal Studios' legal counsel, led by Scott Edelman at Gibson Dunn, subpoenaed Prescott and Carol Jean Gourley (Larson's first wife) for information relating to their divorces from Larson.[external 8] This action was part of Universal's defense against Larson's claim that "Hollywood accounting" from the studio withheld unpaid royalties and related earnings from his various productions from the 1970s through the 1980s, including Battlestar Galactica and Knight Rider. Prescott's counsel filed motions to dismiss these subpoenas citing attorney-client and attorney-work product privilege, while Larson's counsel Neville Johnson responded by filing motions to limit such subpoenas, citing the efforts as being part of a "fishing expedition" and "egregiously overbroad."[external 8]
This list was created to keep track of Galactica's and Pegasus' current and former Viper pilots, Raptor pilots and ECOs. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.
Pilots are officers in the Colonial Fleet trained and qualified to operate a Viper fighter or a Raptor multipurpose vehicle.
Pilot candidates, or "nuggets," normally start training in simulators, but after the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, Galactica's nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until Pegasus (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the Fleet. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "Rooks".
A flight-qualified pilot wears basic pilot wings on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. William Adama, Saul Tigh) wear a variation with outstretched wings.
Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as Aaron Kelly and Felix Gaeta, continue to wear them.
A flight suit, which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.
Qualifications legend:
V - Viper pilot R - Raptor pilot E - Raptor ECO O - Other craft [1]
The following pilots' names can be seen on duty rosters in the pilots' ready room or on other documents following Gaeta's Mutiny. It may thus be presumed that they are on active duty.
The following pilots' names can be seen on duty rosters in the pilots' ready room or on other documents following the second exodus. Some of these names appear on the roster as early as the first season in episodes like "Act of Contrition" and "The Hand of God".
These characters have not been seen or mentioned since the settlement of New Caprica, during which many military personnel mustered out of the service. As such, it is not known if they are still on active duty.
The following mentioned-only characters have been identified by name. They may be identical with any of the mentioned-only characters identified by call sign, listed below.
The following mentioned-only characters have been identified by callsign. They may be identical with any of the mentioned-only characters identified by name, listed above. All the pilots listed for "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I" are part of the rescue mission to Caprica and identify themselves during the wireless check-in prior to the first jump.
This is a listing of pilots and callsigns derived from the nameplates that were auctioned off. These nameplates were either used on the Vipers in the background or made for the production, and thus may or may never have been seen on-screen. Their status has been presently identified as "unknown."
The following pilots are homages to people working on the show or related to its production. Since they may only exist in behind-the-scenes photos and not featured on screen, they don't necessarily exist within the show's continuity.
A nameplate likely made for Steve Fleer, who shares the same callsign, last name, and rank. Nameplate was likely made before production changes rendered it obsolete.
↑Firelli appears in the episode "Pegasus," appearing to fulfill the role of tactical officer. It is possible that, after Pegasus's destruction, he switches roles from CIC to fight duty.
↑ 10.010.1Butch and Dune's callsigns can first be seen on the locker doors in "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I". It is likely that their names are on the lockers in all other appearances of the weight room as well (such as "Scar" and "Torn") even though they cannot be seen on screen. The last confirmed sighting is in "Crossroads, Part II".
↑As Tigh's military record was falsified by John Cavil, Tigh's "life" as a Colonial begins after the First Cylon War and approximately 20 years before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. Therefore, Tigh's actual flight ability is unknown.
↑Note: In the Miniseries, Gaeta does not have flight wings on his uniform, but when the show went to series, the character is given flight wings from "33" and onward.
Lynn Snedden is a Canadian art department professional who served as art department coordinator on the Re-imagined Battlestar Galactica from 2004 to 2009.[external 1] Based in the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, she built a career spanning two decades in the film and television art department before transitioning into event production, where she currently works as production coordinator at Reveal Events Group.[external 2]
Her film and television career is rooted in art department work on large-scale productions shot in British Columbia. Following her five-season run on Battlestar Galactica, she served as art department coordinator on Tron: Legacy (2010), the Walt Disney Pictures sequel directed by Joseph Kosinski.[external 6] She later filled the same role on the 2017 family drama Wonder, directed by Stephen Chbosky and based on the novel by R.J. Palacio.[external 7]
By the mid-2010s Snedden had moved into the role of assistant art director. She worked in that capacity on the revival seasons of The X-Files, including the six-episode tenth season (2016)[external 8] and the ten-episode eleventh season (2018), both produced in Vancouver.[external 9] She continued as assistant art director on the Syfy science fiction comedy series Resident Alien, also shot in British Columbia, beginning with its 2021 premiere season.[external 10] After two decades in film and television, she transitioned into the live events industry, joining Reveal Events Group — an award-winning event production company based in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia — as production coordinator.[external 2]
Snedden worked on the Re-imagined Series across all four of its broadcast seasons, accumulating credits on 69 episodes between 2004 and 2009.[external 1] In the art department, a coordinator occupies a central administrative and logistical role: managing budgets, tracking purchases and rentals, maintaining communication between the production designer and outside vendors, and ensuring the department's scheduling runs alongside the shoot. On a production of Battlestar Galactica's scale — with its distinctive blended military-industrial aesthetic developed by production designer Richard Hudolin — the coordinator position required sustained involvement through the full arc of the series.
While her work on Caprica was solely for the Caprica pilot, produced during Season 4 of the Re-imagined Series, she was uncredited for her role as art department coordinator. As with the Re-imagined Series, her name appears on a spiritual book entitled The New Spirit, a copy of which had been owned by Zoe Graystone.
Born in Scotland, Colliar was raised in British Columbia, eventually holding a biology degree from Simon Fraiser University. She began a career change by becoming a member of the journalism program at the British Columbia Institue of Technology, and then began in 1991 as a news writer covering the crime beat. For Colliar's production of "A Shred of Evidence," she received an Excellence in News Reporting award by the British Columbia Association of Broadcasters.
Since 1998, she anchored the Morning News for Global BC and has appeared in a few genre productions, including the Watchmen film and the pilot for the Flash Gordon television series.
