Nomion's 3rd Sonata

Nomion's 3rd Sonata is a work of classical Colonial music composed by Stu Nomion sometime before 58 BCH. It is comprised of three movements: Pascaglia, Allegro and Variations.
Computer scientist Daniel Graystone occasionally plays it on the piano in his home lab . It is also played by composer and performer Dreilide Thrace as a "touchstone" whenever he experiences writer's block .
==Notes==
* The music originally appeared in the opening of each episode in the original Battlestar Galacticaseries ("There are some who believe life here, began out there...").
* Other original series music has also appeared in the re-imagined continuity, in the form of the Colonial Anthem.
* According to Bear McCreary, Stu Nomion is the in-universe representation of Stu Phillips, the Original Series composerBear McCreary's blog: Someone to Watch Over Me.

Nora Farmer

Nora FarmerHer last name comes from the script, as noted here., a former Viper pilot, is the significant other of former ace Viper pilot Tucker "Duck" Clellan.
During a meeting with Saul Tigh, Galen Tyrol, Cally Henderson Tyrol, and James Lyman, she and Tucker mention that they are trying to have a baby, even going as so far as to stop smoking.
Farmer also seems amenable to the idea of Lyman being a possible godfather, but she is killed at temple by a force of Centurions led by a Number Five as she attempted to retrieve her bag .
Her death spurs suicidal tendencies in Clellan, who later suicide bombs a New Caprica Police graduation ceremony, in an attempt to take out Gaius Baltar, who did not attend due to security considerations .
== Notes ==
*Based on the photo of her and Duck during their time on Galactica, Farmer was a former Viper pilot, wearing a pilot's uniform with a Viper patch . A slightly different photo seen on the Memorial hallway's wall during and 's conversation, crops out the patch .
*A goof up by the SciFi.com staff posted during the third and ninth webisode suggested that Clellan and Farmer are married. This is not true according to Bradley Thompson.
*Nora's last name of Farmer is never mentioned in either the webisode series "The Resistance," or in the series itself. The only mentions of Nora in the series are by Clellan, prior to his suicide bombing of the graduation ceremony for the New Caprica Police in "Occupation," and by Lee Adama when he looks at their picture on the memorial wall in "Maelstrom".

Norman Blore

Norman BloreColonel Briggs refers to Norman as "Mr. Blore" when questioning the people at Arnie's party. The spelling is derived from the subtitles from the Region 1 DVD set. and his wife Shirley are driving to a Halloween party where Wolfman Jack is in attendance. Norman is dressed as a clown, although he is far from jovial.
The "disguised" Cylons Andromus and Centuri accept a ride from Norman, needled by Shirley who believes they are humans such as they are, merely dressed up for the festivities. Unlike the laughing Shirley, his reaction is one of trepidation and discomfort.
During the awkward car ride, Norman reveals his hatred of Arnie's meatballs, Vida Blue's appointment to the San Francisco Giants and a negative view of Arnie's sister, Mildred, whom he describes as so "romantically malnourished" that "she once proposed to a mugger in Central Park". The only reason he attends the party is due to his belief that Arnie is the best music director in radio.
Upon the revelation by Shirley that Norman is the general manager of the WQSL radio station, of which Wolfman Jack is an on-air personality, Andromus believes the Wolfman can take them to radio equipment for them to communicate with the distant Cylon Empire .
Norman later expresses his concern to Arnie over Andromus' questions regarding the radio station, particularly noting that they were asking about the security arrangements. Norman is present when Centuri is subjected to microwave emissions from the microwave, but does not see Andromus' destruction of the microwave via his energy weapon as he makes a quip about putting gunpowder in the meatballs. The destruction of the microwave subsequently begins a fire in Arnie's apartment.
He later identifies Troy to USAF Colonel Briggs, but notes that Troy is responsible for saving their lives .
==Note==
William Daniels, who plays Norman, will later appear (in voice only) as K.I.T.T., a supercar from a more successful Glen Larson TV series, Knight Rider. Not so coincidentally, the K.I.T.T car's main sensor is identical to the Cylon Centurion red-eye scanner from Larson's Galactica days.

Nothing but the rain

Galactica commander William Adama and Viper pilot Kara "Starbuck" Thrace share a greeting on occasion:
:Adama: What do you hear?
:Thrace: Nothing but the rain.
This appears to have originated from Galactica earlier Cylon War-era commander, as Adama and Jaycie McGavin lightheartedly mimic the greeting during one of their sexual encounters (Razor Flashbacks, Episode 1).
It is first heard when Adama shares the greeting with Thrace as she jogs through the battlestar's corridors in the hours prior to the battlestar's scheduled decommissioning .
Later while Starbuck defends 's crippled Viper at the Ragnar Anchorage, William Adama uses their greeting over the wireless to draw Starbuck's attention and call her back to Galactica before making their escape FTL jump, with the sounds of debris deflecting off her cockpit adding some resonance to it .
Before making an unauthorized jump to Cylon-occupied Caprica in a captured Raider, Thrace tells Adama that she is "bringing home the cat" after he questions her actions .
In a deleted scene for the same episode, Adama again asks Starbuck what she hears when she is jogging through Galactica's hallways.
Over two years later, before her Viper is lost and she is presumed dead in "Maelstrom," a distracted Thrace walks past Admiral Adama and President Laura Roslin, oblivious to their presence, when Adama uses their greeting once more to get Thrace's attention. Adama again uses the greeting when he temporarily departs Galactica to wait for the missing President Roslin in "Sine Qua Non".
Adama and Thrace exchange the greeting one last time when they say their goodbyes in "Daybreak, Part II".
== Usage ==
The greeting is generally consistent except for Thrace's last line, an acknowledgment which she tends to improvise:
:Adama: Starbuck, what do you hear?
:Starbuck: Nothing but the rain (sir).
:Adama: Then grab your gun and bring in the cat.
:Starbuck: Boom, boom, boom! / Wilco! / Aye-aye, sir!
== Notes ==
* According to a blog entry by Ronald D. Moore, the exchange is "a riff on contemporary marching chants or cadences used in the military called 'jodies'." He suggests that it has a deeper meaning for the characters, but he never wrote out the entire chant.
* In the Season 4 episode Sine Qua Non, William Adama changes his final line slightly to "Then grab your gun and bring the cat in."
*"Nothing but the rain" is a Battlestar Wiki descriptive term.

Nova of Madagon

The Nova of Madagon is a spacial location lying somewhere between the Twelve Colonies and the planet Carillon. 
It is not actually a nova at all, but is a starfield of intense, blinding brightness; this "nova" also causes electronic equipment problems for smaller craft. The Straits of Madagon, a passage within this area of space, were mined by the Cylons, though these are cleared by a group of three s lead by Captain .
== In the separate continuity ==
The Nova of Madagon lies in between the path taken by during their exodus from and the planet Carillon. As Carillon was a "nine centon"The word "centon" is misused as a placeholder for "day" instead of "hour" in . journey via a more circuitous route, Captain convinces the that the only way to avoid the trap at was to cut through the Nova of Madagon, destroying the that the Cylons had laid using s and laser torpedoes (). 
The cockpits were fully covered to prevent the blindness of the three pilots—Apollo, , and —while they cleared a 100 maxim wide path through the minefield to Carillon. The starfield's energies were such that the Vipers' scanners failed, and thus had to be guided by sensor suite (). 
== Notes ==
* The interior of the nova was created using a one-watt laser reflected from multiple surfaces, in particular Richard Edlund's Saturn Award trophy that he received for his work on 1977's Star Wars.

Noyse Elementary School

NoyseThis was confirmed by Bradley Thompson via BW:OC. Elementary School was a school in the Twelve Colonies.
Samuel Anders believes he attended this school as a youth, reciting this fact after he launches from Galactica while pressing his wireless transmit button, which earns him a sharp rebuke from Diana Seelix . In reality, this is a false memory planted by Cavil .
== Notes ==
* Anders believes he was born on Picon, however sometime in his life he relocated to given his status as a player on the Caprica Buccaneers. Therefore, it remains uncertain which colony this school was located upon.

Nugget

The term "nugget" is Colonial military jargon for a pilot trainee.Like many terms in the new Battlestar Galactica series, "nugget" is adapted from present-day American military slang (http://www.tailhook.org/AVSLANG.htm#N), where it connotes status as "raw material" to be shaped by experience during the first tour. 
The definition of a nugget is a lump of raw precious metal, something ready to be molded. Alternatively, a small rounded piece of food This originates from a deleted scene.. 
Upon successful completion of flight and weapons training, nuggets join the Fleet squadrons as rooks.
== Notes ==
* When the first class of nuggets begins training aboard Galactica, they wear rank insignia of petty officer, 1st class. In "Scar" and "Dirty Hands," they wear those of junior lieutenants, but are addressed as ensigns. No distinct ensign rank insignia were ever produced for the series, ergo the decision to use the junior lieutenant pins.
* Chief Tyrol notes that one has to be an officer to fly Vipers when he pins ensign's insignia on Seelix before she reports for flight training, suggesting either a change in policy or a retcon.
* The Original Series analogue to this term is "first orbit cadet."

Number Seven

"Number Seven," also known as "Daniel," was one of eight humanoid Cylon models created by the Final Five. A favorite of Ellen Tigh, she remembers Number Seven as creative, sensitive, and an artist.
After she becomes fully-aware of her true self, Ellen reveals that the Sevens were destroyed by Number One (John Cavil) decades before the second Cylon War. Cavil was angry at Ellen, their "mother," for playing favorites, and in a fit of jealousy he contaminated the amniotic fluid used to gestate the Seven copies and corrupted the genetic formula.
Ellen describes Cavil's wiping out the Sevens as more permanent than boxing, and Samuel Anders recalls that "Daniel died," confirming that no copies of Number Seven model survived. The remaining Cylon models other than the Number Ones have no memories of Number Seven. With this model no longer extant, Caprica-Six's statement, "there are twelve models," during the Fall of the Twelve Colonies was correct. 
== Notes ==
===Cult of Daniel===
After the episode "No Exit" aired, many fans on the official Sci-Fi Channel forum were convinced that Daniel was responsible for many of the mysteries in the show, was Kara Thrace's father, was responsible for the "head" visions of Baltar and Caprica-Six, etc. This phenomenon, called the "Cult of Daniel" by Ronald D. Moore, was unintended, and Moore took the unusual step of unequivocally stating in the subsequent podcast for "Islanded in a Stream of Stars" that Daniel was not Starbuck's father and would not play a larger part in the series. Although he usually did not rule out any fan theories or explanations, he felt "the Daniel theory" had taken a life of its own and would lead many of its proponents to disappointment in the finale. He also apologized if people felt the writers were leading them to incorrect conclusions. The only purpose of Daniel was to explain the gap in the Cylon model numbers and serve as a "Cain and Abel" backstory with Daniel as Abel and Cavil as Cain.
===Possible influences===
*Daniel may be named after, or a reference to, Daniel Graystone, one of the original designers of the Cylon Centurions of the Twelve Colonies (Caprica). In his podcast for "No Exit," Moore mentions a connection between Daniel and the Caprica series.

Numo

A numo is a weapon similar to an air gun, operating on compressed air. It is a mainstay weapon on Equellus, and is unable to penetrate the armor of Cylon Centurions.
Puppis claims that a numo can kill a lupus from 10 metrons. Before that claim however, Puppis claimed that his mother, Vella, was unable to hit the side of a granary with a numo.
Bootes attempts to use a numo pistol against the Centurion Red-Eye, but fails to do so. Others have previously attempted this, some succeeding in denting Red-Eye's armor before being dispatched by the Centurion .
==Note==
*Like many other terms in the Original Series, the naming of this weapon is derived from a real-world term. "Numo" is a sound-alike for a pneumatic gun, another word for a type of "BB" gun.
*'s comment about never seeing a numo suggests that the Twelve Colonies of Man primarily uses energy weapons against the heavily armored Cylons during the Thousand Yahren War. This is supported in the events of this episode as many gunfighters fall to Red-Eye because their projectiles cannot pierce the Cylon's armor, while Apollo's laser pistol takes down the Cylon in one shot.
*The weapons of the Re-imagined Series, in contrast, are all projectile-based or use a form of conventional and nuclear explosives. This episode is one of the few instances where projectile weapons are seen, aside from those of depicted in Galactica 1980.

Nyby

Nyby is a aboard .
He participates in the pitched battle to protect the Fleet during Galactica's capture by Cylons, having made it to their . Following the initial launch deployment, warns them to watch their rear from Cylon attack ().
== Notes ==
* Nyby is likely named for recurring Original Series director, Christian I. Nyby II.
* While a is seen exploding from weapons fire in the same panel that issues his warning to Nyby, it is neither directly stated nor can it be inferred that this was Nyby's Viper, as Nyby is never mentioned again.
Nymph

The term "nymph" is used in two contexts in the Re-imagined Series.
The first use is in the name of an old Colonial adult entertainment magazine containing scantily-clad, yet tasteful, photos of women. A pilot, Reilly, possesses one, and when he is killed this copy passes down to . 
Either this magazine, or another copy of the same issue, is later in the possession of Eammon Pike on Demetrius .
Laura Roslin uses the term as well as a perjorative (comparable to the use of the term "slut") in accusing Tory Foster of colluding with Gaius Baltar and his "nymph squad" .
== Notes ==
* The Nymph magazine can be seen among the things puts in a box after Reilly is killed in combat. In a scene cut from the episode, the pilots auction off Reilly's possessions and Hot Dog wins the bid for the skin magazine, thus explaining why he reads it later in the rec room.
* In Greek mythology, a nymph is a mythological entity in human female form.

O Daniel, Where Art Thou?

O Daniel, Where Art Thou? is a The Caprican Opinion article written by Ralston Sinclair. It was printed in October 29, YR42.
== Story ==
Yeah, if I just lost my daughter, my wife, my company, every godsdamn thing I've ever worked for and cared about was suddenly frakkin' gone, I'd disappear for a while, too. 
Except this is Daniel Graystone we're talking about. And Daniel Graystone has never thrown in the towel on anything in his life. 
Let everyone else say, "Oh, the poor man." Yes. Suddenly, he's no longer the man that spawned a teenage terrorist. Now that his mentally unstable terror mom wife took a swan dive off a bridge and his company has been swallowed up by his number-one rival, any and all "sins" of the past have been forgiven. 
"Oh, the poor man." 
I say nuts. I say what a frakkin' load of crap. I say... just what is he planning, hmm? What is he scheming, up there in his lonely castle? 
The poor, sad, lonely man. 
The rich, sad, lonely man, people. 
The rich genius, with every possible resource at his fingertips to make his every desire and whim come true. You think he's up there just, what, grieving? No. This is Daniel Graystone. He can pay someone else to do the majority of his grieving so all he has to do is grieve just a little. And therefore spend the rest of his time doing....
What? 
That's the question. 
But it's something, dear readers. He's not just crying himself to sleep. He's not just going through a couple of bottles of whatever poison a day, not taking showers, not shaving, all that stuff. 
No. Daniel Graystone has a plan. This guy loses his daughter, his wife, his company, his frakkin' Pyramid team... you think he's going to just let that lie? With all his pride, with all his wealth, with all his stinkin' genius? 
The man has a plan. Count on it. What is it? I don't know. But I have a feeling we'll find out soon enough.
