Battlestar Group

A battlestar group is by basic definition a formation of Colonial military vessels consisting of a battlestar and its accompanying support ships. These support ships may fulfill offensive and defensive combat roles (dedicated heavy gun ships, smaller carriers), as well as combat support roles (logistics, medical, repair facilities).
The concept of a battlestar group can also encompass several battlestar formations operating as a combined, coordinated combat package — permanently assigned, or assembled as a task force for a specific mission — under one commander, typically an admiral. This is a possibility given the number of available battlestars at the outbreak of hostilities with the Cylons.
:The above information is drawn from Ronald D. Moore's basis on a modern-day aircraft carrier battle group.
==Known Battlestar Groups==
The following battlestar groups are known to have existed before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies:
*BSG 39: Included the battlestar Triton .In "33," is referred to as a "refugee from Triton" and wears the ship's patch, which shows the number of the battlestar group.
*BSG 41: Included the battlestar Valkyrie as of 6 BCH .
** It is unknown if BSG 41 was formed during the First Cylon War or post-Armistice. 
*BSG 54: Included the Orion class Battlestar Osiris, under Commander Ozar during the First Cylon War, circa .
*BSG 62: Led by the Mercury class battlestar Pegasus, under Admiral Helena Cain.
*BSG 75: Led by , under Commander Silas Nash during the First Cylon War. This group is later commanded by William Adama circa 6 BCH, although at that time BSG 75 is known to be only a singular battleship.
** Following the Fall of the Twelve Colonies (1 ACH), Galactica was moved under Admiral Helena Cain's command in BSG 62 . Even after Cain's death, and Pegasus's destruction, some Viper gun cameras still listed Galactica as a member of battlestar group 62 .This may be either an in-universe clerical error or a production error, seeing as "Razor" and "He That Believeth in Me" were produced during the production of Season 4. Thus, the template used by the art department to generate these recon photos may not have been updated to reflect the differences in BSG groups.
==Notes==
*The only on-screen mention of the term is the episode "Water," on a chart on the podium during the meeting about the water crisis.
*Although the term "battlestar group" implies the presence of multiple vessels, the designation appears to be retained when the battlestar is unaccompanied (such as Galactica), as it would be the centerpiece of any such formation.

Battlestar quarters

Among the various amenities aboard a Colonial battlestar, quarters are abundant for housing of crew and passengers.
In addition to the bachelor officer's quarters, smaller quarters are available for higher ranking personnel and important guests, with perhaps the commander's quarters being the largest available aboard ship.
== Serina's Quarters ==
Serina and her son Boxey had a small living area aboard Galactica, complete with a two-sleeper bunk bed, with small tables with flanking chairs near two of the bulkheads. A private area, where Serina readied herself prior to Apollo's arrival, adjoins the entry room .

Baxter Sarno

Baxter Sarno is a -based comedian and late night talk show host of Backtalk with Baxter Sarno. Sarno's major audience consists primarily of teenagers and college students. He is seen as anti-corporate, and he is a staunch critic of the holoband technology and the moral decline he perceives coming from its use . 
Other than a scathing joke about his "first and third marriages" and a passing reference to a niece named Candice, details about his personal life are unknown . 
== Noteworthy Involvement in Caprican Society ==
After Amanda Graystone's ill-conceived declaration that Zoe Graystone was one of the bombers of the Maglev commuter train, he makes comical critiques and opines on the Graystones and their brand, in particular the said holoband technology. This forces Daniel Graystone to make his first ever appearance on the show to shift the blame from the holoband to his daughter. Sarno is pleasantly surprised when Daniel (with his wife, Amanda) declares that Graystone Industries will offer open access to the holoband technology and virtual world licensing, in addition to noting that any proceeds from sales of said technology will be donated to a charity fund .
Sarno later hosts Daniel's chief rival, Tomas Vergis, on the show. After gratefully receiving a gift of Tauron cigars from his guest, Sarno's interview leads to the revelation that Vergis intends to become a citizen of Caprica .
Several years after these events, Sarno conducts a special interview in the Graystone Estate with Daniel about the unprecedented popularity of Cylons in Caprican society .
== Notes ==
* Sarno's critical eye also targets other colonies, referring to as "barely a planet" in his monologue before introducing Daniel Graystone .
* Patton Oswalt was one of the first Caprica major guest star castings to be announced, prior to that of James Marsters.

Bear McCreary

A classically trained composer and multiple-award recipient, Bear McCreary is the mastermind behind the music of the Re-imagined Series. 
McCreary's work is available in the Season 1, Season 2, Season 3 and Season 4 soundtracks to the hit SF series. Having composed music since he was just 6 years old, and being a graduate of the USC Thornton School of Music, McCreary has a knack for creating classical pieces, as well as quirky, off-beat melodies.
McCreary worked on the Miniseries as an additional composer with soundtrack composer Richard Gibbs, and collaborated with Gibbs on the soundtracks for season 1 episodes 2 & 3, "Water" & "Bastille Day," respectively. Gibbs opted not to commit to the regular series production, citing schedule conflicts and his desire to devote more time to scoring theatrical films. As a result, McCreary alone scored "33" (the first episode aired) and stayed on as soundtrack composer from then on.
The piano-playing character Slick in the Season 4 episode "Someone to Watch Over Me" was loosely based on McCreary.http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2008/06/sepinwall_on_tv_michael_giacch.html He also made an uncredited appearance as a patron of Joe's bar in the episode "Deadlock".
McCreary has also scored SyFy's Eureka and FOX's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, based on the Terminator movies. In addition, he scored the prequel series Caprica and the following movie Blood and Chrome. When not working on television, McCreary also composes soundtracks for independent movies.
==Leitmotifs in the Battlestar Galactica Soundtrack==
McCreary makes use of many recurring character or event leitmotifs in the series' soundtrack. See: Music of Battlestar Galactica (RDM)

Beard of Organized Labor

thumb|right|The Beard of Organized Labor
The Beard of Organized Labor is the facial hair worn by Galen Tyrol during his time on New Caprica as a union leader and insurgent.
Throughout history, men with beards have been viewed as wise, sexually potent, of high status, but have also been attributed a lack of cleanliness and refinement, or an eccentric disposition. Tyrol hits most all of these points during his time on the ground of New Caprica.
In some societies, such as the Amish, the men are clean-shaven until such time as they are married, at which point they grow a beard and are never without one from then on.
For the ancient Romans, a bearded man represented a man of virtue and simplicity. During grief and mourning, a Roman would let his hair and beard grow. 
The militaries of many countries prohibit beards and sometimes even mustaches, usually for hygienic reasons. The Colonial military's stance on this is unknown, as Admiral Adama is wearing a mustache. It seems that Tyrol shaves his beard shortly before the Battle of New Caprica. Upon shaving the beard, Tyrol's former Underbite of Humility returns, as he resumes his job on .
After Cally's death, Tyrol goes in a different direction with his personal grooming and adopts the Slaphead of Mourning.
==Notes ==
* "There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless - boys and women, and I am neither one." - Greek axiom
* Tyrol inexplicably loses his beard before "Exodus, Part I". This was necessary because Aaron Douglas's scenes were shot weeks after the main part of the episode, when he had already shaved and it was felt that a fake beard would not be convincing.

Beings of Light

The Beings of Light are a mysterious race that travel using the Ship of Lights. Called angels by the primitive people on , these creatures helped them develop the civilization that would become .
Many of their number appear as humanoids wearing ethereal robes, with most of the face (sans eyes) covered by a niqab , although one by the name of John later presents itself in a more distinctly, professional human form .
Apparently mistakes were made in the past by these advanced beings, as they seem reluctant to interfere directly with the Colonials or the Terrans. They help and save the Terrans from themselves .
Count Iblis is a fallen member of this race, who has chosen to use his powers for selfish and malignant purposes .
==Galactica 1980==
Angela is another likely member of the Beings of Light and, like John, wore white, appeared and disappeared suddenly (in this case on a desolate planet where and Cyrus are marooned), and spoke in riddles. She is revealed to be the mother of Doctor Zee, which may account for the young boy's superhuman abilities , and was sent to the Fleet as a means to help the surviving humans find the .
A scrapped episode entitled "The Wheel of Fire" would have had Starbuck rescued from a lonely asteroid by more representatives of this mysterious race.
== Notes ==
* The term Seraph (plural: Seraphim) has been associated to these beings in various comic book incarnations from both Maximum Press and Dynamite Entertainment. In real-world theism, Seraph is the Hebrew word for Angel. Later Jewish imagery perceived them as having human form, and in that way they passed into the ranks of Christian angels. In the Christian angelic hierarchy, seraphim represent the highest rank of angels.

Those of pure Kobollian blood have a genetic, ancestral memory left to them by the Lords of Kobol, and with that are able to ascend to the different plane of existence, existing on the lightships in the "after life." This genetic imprint allows for the acceleration of the molecular structure of the body, so that it may inhabit the realm of the lightships.
Despite their undefinable advancement to the Colonials and other inhabitants of the mortal realm, the Beings do not know where the mythical planet of resides . 
== Appearances to the Fleet ==
In their first appearance to common day Colonials in , many of their number appear as humanoids wearing ethereal robes, with most of the face (sans eyes) covered by a niqab , although one by the name of John later presents itself in a more distinctly, professional human form .
Apparently mistakes were made in the past by these advanced beings, as they seem reluctant to interfere directly with the Colonials or the Terrans. They help and save the Terrans from themselves .

Zac informs Apollo is a fallen member of this race, who has chosen to use his powers for selfish and malignant purposes . During the reign of Kobol, Iblis and his followers of the House of Iblis fled to commit atrocities that the Beings of Light forbade discussion on, and he is deemed truly unique given his ability to feed on fear and death .

Belloby

Siress Belloby is a hardened woman on the freighter noted for getting anything she wants. Much to 's dismay, he had encountered her when they were younger. When the hulled the Agro Ship 9, thus destroying the crops, the 's representatives (, , , and ) needed an unmarked energizer to trade for agricultural seed. A search of the Fleet's inventory lead the Warriors to Belloby, who is the only person to have an unmarked energizer; the unmarked energizer necessary, so that no one would know who they were.
In exchange for the energizer, Belloby demands that Adama would court her. Indeed, Adama found the prospect nauseating, but with no other choice he accepts. After landing on Sectar and getting to Serenity, Serenity's locals steal her generator from Starbuck and Boomer; later resulting in Starbuck being conned into being Serenity's constable as he attempts to win enough money to buy the agro seed. Despite the presence of Galactica's Warriors, the Siress finds the energizer in a nearby agricultural storehouse.
When the Borays under Boss Nogow's command raid Serenity once more, Belloby is taken prisoner. The quartet of warriors pursue the Borays to their staging camp, where Starbuck makes a risky deal with Nogow where the Borays can run the town and Nogow could be the constable. After the deal is struck, the Colonials received their seed, though Belloby elects to stay on Sectar for what she says she needs: a real animal in the form of Nogow .
== Notes ==
* According to Encyclopedia Galactica, a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979:
: Belloby is a Caprican bureautician born into a "distinguished, but impoverished family". She was said to be "the likely bride" of a younger , but he had married Ila instead. 
: After this, she "pursued her business interests" that lead to her being "one of the Galaxy's (sic) leading dealers in recycled parts and equipment". Her prosperous business also backed Adama's political career.
: She was 135 yahren when the Battle of Cimtar occurred.

Belloch

Sire Belloch is the representative to the in .
He objects to Ambassador Puck's sparring with Lieutenant Colonel following Lieutenant Commander 's departure from . He later accompanies President when Athena informs Puck of the Quorum's decision to name her as Interim Commander of the Fleet, as well as the assumption of 's seat as 's representative. Belloch makes a point that the decision was made by the Quorum, and demands that Puck help them stop the sedition he has sewn throughout the Fleet, which Puck refuses to do much to Belloch's chagrin.
Belloch is one of the many who welcome Apollo back following his return, asking him bluntly if he wishes to nominate himself for the position of Fleet Commander. Following the crisis where 's is destroyed and the Fleet survives machinations, Belloch is later present at the ceremony where Apollo formally assumes full command of the Fleet .
