Jane Cally

In the novelization of the Miniseries, the character known only as "Cally" in the aired Miniseries is given the name Jane Cally, suggesting that "Cally" is the deckhand's last name .
However, the official information for this character, as confirmed by series writer and co-producer Bradley Thompson notes the official name as Cally Henderson (and later, at the end of Season 2, as Cally Tyrol with her marriage to Galen Tyrol).
This difference in the novelization's content from the aired or sourced content makes the novelization a separate continuity from the Re-imagined Series.

Janet Prescott

Janet Prescott (credited as Janet Lynn Curtis in Battlestar Galactica, J.C. Larson, and later Janet Prescott-Curtis) is the actress who portrayed Sorrell in the Original Series episode, "Lost Planet of the Gods".
As Janet Lynn Curtis, her acting roles were mainly in Glen A. Larson productions, notably in the recurring role of Margaret Ellen in The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo.
On 29 August 1982, Curtis married Larson, becoming his second of three wives, and segued from acting to producing, with her first production credit on The Fall Guy. During the production of The Fall Guy, the Larsons conceived two daughters from the marriage: Danielle born 11 May 1984 and Nicole born 22 January 1986. 
Following Fall Guy, she became a producer on numerous subsequent 80s and 90s Larson productions, the last of them being 1997's NightMan. 
In 1998, she petitioned for divorce, but was not finalized as of 17 August 2005; it was finalized on 24 December 2008. 
In 2013, Universal Studios' legal counsel, lead by Scott Edelman at Gibson Dunn, subpoenaed Prescott and Carol Jean Gourley (Larson's first wife) for information relating to their divorces from Larson. This action was in defense of Larson's claim that "Hollywood accounting" from the studio withheld unpaid royalties and related earnings from Larson's various productions circa 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, and Glen Larson's counsel Neville Johnson responded by motions to limit such subpoenas, citing such efforts as being part of a "fishing expedition" and "egregiously overbroad."

Janus

== Background ==
The Janus heavy cruiser is an old Gemenese ship design, made popular during the later stages of the imperial wars between Virgon and Leonis.
Heavy armour plating provides it with enough staying power to remain relevant in modern warfare, although its older fire control systems are considered outdated compared to more modern cruisers. 
== Gamplay ==
The Janus class was introduced to the game Battlestar Galactica Deadlock through the first DLC (Downloadable content) titled "Reinforcement Pack." This expansion adds four ships to the game. As such, the Janus class is accessible through campaign, skirmish, multiplayer and Operation Anabasis.
== Notes ==
According to the Spacedock promotional video, the following quote is attributed to Sinon Quade, Colonial Naval Architect:
: The Janus goes back to the good old days of imperial warfare, when Leonid and Virgon captains would just keep swinging until one of them got bored and launched a nuke.
