Weapons free

Before any Viper or Raptor can fire weapons at will, permission must be given for members of the fighter group to do so. The request or command is called "weapons free." 
The lead pilot of a Combat Air Patrol, or group of Alert Fighters (typically the CAG) can give a "weapons free" order when facing a known enemy.
Any member of a fighter group can request weapons-free authorization from the lead pilot, usually as part of training missions or to verify their fighter's gun operation .
In special cases, the lead pilot may defer weapons-free authorization to the battlestar commander. Lead pilot defers weapons-free authorization for her fighter group to Galactica Actual after the battlestar launches her fighters against sister battlestar Pegasus and her Vipers, realizing that ordering fire against fellow Colonials required Commander Adama's authorization .
The contrary command to "Weapons Free" is "Weapons Hold", whereby units are ordered to hold fire except against specifically authorized targets or in self-defense. Under "Weapons Free", any target not known to be friendly may be engaged.
Example: Assume pilot call sign Joker is flying CAP, led by pilot call sign Birdie. Joker is in pursuit of an enemy vessel and wishes to fire upon it.
(Joker is under "weapons hold," therefore the safeties are engaged on his weaponry.)
- Pilot: Birdie, Joker. Target in sight. Request permission to engage.
- CAP Leader: Joker, Birdie. Engage the unidentified craft. Weapons free.
- Pilot: Birdie, Joker. Weapons free, acknowledged. 
(Joker removes safeties from weapons control.)

Weapons locker

Weapons lockers are storage facilities for weapons aboard a battlestar. Typically, these include small-arms lockers, but larger weapons and artillery are likely kept in these sections as well.
In the case of small-arms lockers, such lockers contain ammunition, small arms (e.g. pistols, assault rifles), and G-4 explosives with detonators .
Standard procedure in the Colonial Fleet for weapons lockers is to place them under marine guard, with logs on who has entered and exited these lockers. However, in the weeks following the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, Galactica facilities were unguarded, allowing Sharon "Boomer" Valerii to take G-4 and their detonators and to use them in destroying Galactica water tanks . However, despite rectifying this oversight, a marine guard is killed by a Number Five infiltrator who takes explosives for a suicide bombing .
== Appearances ==
Aside from first appearing in "Water", and a mention in "Litmus", a small-arms locker is seen again in "Valley of Darkness", where Lee Adama, Louanne Katraine and a few marines encounter James "Jammer" Lyman. 
A second notable appearance occurs later in "The Ties That Bind" in the form of "Weapons Locker 1701D", where Tory Foster, Saul Tigh and Galen Tyrol meet. Cally Tyrol follows them to this locker, entering a crawlspace adjoining the room, and learns of their nature as Cylons.
== Notes ==
* "Weapons Locker 1701D" contains a Star Trek: The Next Generation reference. 1701-D is the registry number for the USS Enterprise from that series, which Ronald D. Moore formerly worked on.

Wedge-shaped vessel

The "Wedge" type also known as a "Defender" type is a support vessel in service with the Colonial Fleet by the tenth year of the First Cylon War. 
== History ==
During the First Cylon War, one of these ships is reported destroyed by Cylon forces, and hidden away within Cylon controlled space. This is a ruse created by the Colonial Fleet in order to hide away a large amount of units in preparation for an offensive against Cylons targets . 
After the Fall of the Colonies, two of these ships escape with Galactica, though it is unknown if they share the same military role, as Galactica is initially the only known military vessel to have survived the attacks, and these ships do not participate in any post exodus engagements with the Cylons (TRS). 
== Ships In Class ==
Name 	Number 	Status 	Last Seen
Unknown	Unknown	Active, part of "Ghost Fleet", 	"Blood & Chrome".
Unknown	Unknown	Scuttled, part of Galactica refugee fleet, YR04 (4 ACH)	TRS: "Daybreak, Part II".
Unknown	Unknown	Scuttled, part of Galactica refugee fleet, YR04 (4 ACH)	TRS: "Daybreak, Part II".
 
==Notes==
*This ship appears to be based on a design created by a fan of the series, Todd Boyce. On his website where many other fan fiction renderings are hosted, he called the ship the "Defender". Battlestar Wiki is not a fan fiction repository, however, the remarkable similarity between the artist's ship and its inclusion in the Re-imagined Series warrant mention in this encyclopedia.
*With some Reaver additions, the ship appears as a background vessel in the movie Serenity. The effects for both Serenity and Battlestar Galactica were produced by Zoic.
*In an odd continuity error, these ships appear at various times, with varying sizes. In "Blood & Chrome", it is nearly as large a Galactica type battlestar, instantly dwarfing the other ships around it, including battlestars Osiris and Valkyrie. While in the TRS series, it is only a quarter of the size of Galactica type battlestar.

Wellington

Wellington is one of the first Super Scouts to settle Earth. He is the more mature of the bunch, if not a bit off-putting, and matter-of-fact at times.
During the attack on the freighter Delphi by the Cylons, he and other Super Scouts are trapped in a compartment, but are subsequently freed by Dillon and Troy. After they reach Shuttle Alpha, Wellington and Starla reject Dillon's help in bracing themselves in.
After making landfall, Wellington appears to assert some level of maturity and leadership role among the Super Scouts. He takes it upon himself to read the Scout handbook Troy had procured. However, later that day, he, Moonstone and another scout become ill due to drinking from the nearby lake, which is host to various toxic chemicals originating from the Stanford Chemical Plant . When neither his nor the sick Scouts condition change for the better, Troy, Dillon and John Stockton meet up with the anti-gravity ship that the Warriors had summoned, and he is subsequently treated on board .
Later, he led a seminar on television camera technology at the UBC studio, taking apart camera four to explain its workings. When confronted by an irate cameraman, he and the scouts hastily reassemble the camera, which Mr. Brooks and the cameraman believe to be impossible. Wellington later hits a home-run in the championship game, explaining to his bewildered opponent that it is a simple matter of physics .
During a showing of This Island Earth at a movie complex, he notes that the mutant alien looks like a Gorkon. He later corrects Marcy, Griffith Park Observatory's guide, about the number of stars in the galaxy .
== Notes == 
* Wellington is identified in "The Super Scouts, Part II" as "Jason" by Dillon. However, Battlestar Wiki goes with "Wellington" as identified in "Spaceball," thus treating Dillon's statement as a continuity error.

Werner

Colonel Werner is a member of the Nazi party. In Germany's military, Werner oversees the V-2 rocket program. The Galactican, Xaviar, manages to convince Werner that he is a defecting English scientist and makes may vast improvements into the V-2 rocket.
He is also commander of the local garrison in Peenemünde, Germany. Werner is first introduced when he is quickly notified of the appearance of two air craft believed to be of American origin, and orders the Luftwaffe to dispatch them. Werner later comments that "soon we will have planes that don't even have propellers", and is wholly embarrassed when the V-2 rocket appears to fail, thanks to Dillon's efforts ("Galactica Discovers Earth", Parts II & III).
== Novelization depiction ==
In the novelization by Michael Resnick, this character is named Conrad Werner. After Xaviar manages to catch the eye of German military scientists a month earlier, Werner involves him in the V-2 program, although telling General Wilhelm Yodel that Xaviar's contributions were minor, and then subsequently reversing that position when it becomes apparent to him that he may be blamed for the project's failure himself.Ibid., pgs. 127-134
== Notes ==
* His rank is confirmed in an earlier version of the script for "Galactica Discovers Earth", and is confirmed by the Luftwaffe's flight leader who engages Troy and Dillon's Vipers.
* The name "Werner" also comes from the script, and is also used in the novelization.
* Werner's motivations in the script reveal that he does not believe that conventional weapons—U-boats, artillery, and other ground weapons—will win the war. He believes that Aldof Hitler is mismanaging the war effort, but cannot convince him to support the V-2 development fully until a successful test can be demonstrated."Script for "Galactica Discovers Earth", p. 72

What Explosions? Five Things to Help You Forget Terrorism

What Explosions? Five Things to Help You Forget Terrorism is a The Caprican Entertainment article written by Carl Kipp. It was printed in Februarius 6, YR42.
== Story ==
There's been a lot of doom and gloom lately in the aftermath of the MAGLEV tragedy. We most assuredly should grieve and respect the memories of our fallen families and friends, but let's not forget that we also live in the greatest city on the greatest planet of all the Colonies. This is Caprica City, after all, right, ns? So let's go out and celebrate our wonderful city and we who live in it together during this strange and uneasy time. 
I believe those we've lost would like that. Yes, I do. 
So, here are five things you can do to help you forget about the cloud that's come over our town as of late.
1. A Day at Apollo Park
Stop sitting at home watching the news - they're just showing the same clips over and over. Time to hit the great outdoors - and the Greatest Outdoors is Apollo Park! Take a walk, play a little Pyramid, have a picnic, make out under a tree, or all of the above - sounds pretty good, doesn't it? 
Speaking of Pyramid...
2. Go, C-Bucs!
Yeah, they're not having their best season - but neither are we. So let's brave the storm together and play a little Pyramid! Get thee to Atlas Arena and cheer on our team - if we all work together, the Buccaneers might actually win a game this season (Oh, I'm probably going to regret writing that, aren't I?)! 
3. Backtalk with Baxter Sarno
If you must stay home and watch television, why not change the channel and tune in to Baxter? His writers have been on a roll lately, to say the least, and no one can do the Tragedy-to-Comedy thing quite like Mr. Sarno. His ratings have actually been up lately, so some of you have indulged in this already. He appreciates that. 
4. Eat at Connie's
Caprica's best-kept secret when it comes to great food and even greater service is a restaurant in Little Tauron called Connie's Place. Go there and order anything on the menu - yes, anything - and then try to tell me that it isn't the best thing you've ever eaten in your entire life. Well, I might be exaggerating...but just a little. Really, if you're hungry or could just use a cup of coffee and a talk with a friend, Connie's is your Place. In fact, the food is so good, I've heard teenagers get into fights over it. 
5. Wanna Bet? Get to Goldie's
My fifth recommendation was going to be Get Thee to the Bedroom, but my editors have respectfully persuaded me to go in a different direction. So what's better than sex? Gambling, of course! Now might be the time to get in touch with your Perfect Horse or waste your paycheck on the C-Bucs (oops! There I go again). Anyway, if laying a few bets is your game, look no further than Goldie's Off Track Betting.

What Is Daniel Graystone Hiding?

What Is Daniel Graystone Hiding? is a The Caprican Opinion article written by Ralston Sinclair. It was printed in Martius 6, YR42.
== Story ==
Yeah, you might all be singing the tune of a New Colony Order, proclaiming Daniel Graystone as your new savior. The man who will save our kids from the moral apocalypse by throwing Holoband profits into a charity that will encourage youngsters to develop "real values," whatever that means, on all counts. 
I'm telling you, I don't buy it. Not one bit. 
Hey, if Graystone wants to throw away all the profits he makes from the Holoband and V-World licensing, that's swell. Holobands only account for about, oh, 60% of Graystone Industries' profit revenue. Who needs it, really? Graystone may be something of a changed man - perhaps with certain new outlooks on life - after the death of his daughter and the discovery that she was involved with the MAGLEV tragedy. But he's not going to throw away more than half his meal ticket just because his kid played too many video games. He's a Businessman, first and foremost. You don't get to be 's greatest rags-to-riches story by being anything else. 
The whole thing stinks to high heaven. 
Hey, the Global Defense raided the Graystone household last week, did you know that? What were they looking for? Evidence that Zoe Graystone was involved with the bombing? What other evidence do you need other than her mom going on television and announcing to the Twelve Colonies that Her Daughter Was A Terrorist? Or is there more to the story? Are there complications and convolutions? Was Zoe Graystone into more than just monotheistic extremists? Or, was Zoe not the only Graystone up to no good? 
OK, I'll just come out and say it: Does Daniel Graystone have financial ties to the STO? 
And, if not, what sort of brand new Product, some brilliant new Invention, does he have in the pipeline that will fill the void of sixty godsdamn per cent of his profit revenue? 
If any of you run into Daniel Graystone on the street, see if you can take a gander up his sleeve. Something's there. And it stinks.

Wheeler

Wheeler is a pyramid player with the Caprica Buccaneers, of which his fiancée Kai was a part. 
Wheeler trains with Samuel T. Anders in the mountains during the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, prior to hearing the first explosions from this event. Discovering that Cylons are indeed involved, Wheeler joins Anders' nascent resistance. 
Wheeler concocts using a pyramid ball as improvised explosive device, which comes into play during the resistance's first offensive on the Cylons, inspired by The Tauron Line. After a Centurion is alerted by a clumsy resistance fighter, Kai takes his pyramid ball grenade and, passing it to Coach, effectively destroys a Cylon repair shed.
Wheeler is injured during the offensive, leaving him with a limp .
== Notes ==
* The relationship between Wheeler and Kai is discussed in a deleted scene, where Wheeler is razzed for not recognizing her as she practices on a one-on-one session with Samuel T. Anders.
*In a deleted sub-plot from "The Plan," Brother Cavil returns to the Resistance camp after the events of "The Farm" bringing news of a forced work camp on Picon where humans have families and are growing fresh food. Wheeler shares that his family originally came from Picon, and later buys into the false hope that Cavil spreads about peaceful coexistence. Following that scene, Wheeler and a group later accept the peace offering by Sharon "Boomer" Valerii and Caprica-Six, the so-called "Heroes of the Cylon," with the hope of being escorted to a safe location only to be slaughtered by Centurions who disobey the orders of Valerii and Six.

Where Will the STO Strike Next?

Where Will the STO Strike Next? is a The Caprican News article written by Harold Sims. It was printed in November 1, YR42.
== Story ==
For many Capricans, the STO is still considered to be a formidable threat, even though the radical organization has kept relatively quiet in the past few months. 
We now know the "why" behind the STO and their religious beliefs. So the question now is, "Where?" Where will they strike next? 
In a poll conducted by 'Caprican Life' magazine, Capricans were asked their opinion on what location the STO may be targeting for their next act of terrorism. Below are the results of the poll. 
NOTE: This poll was not conducted by any crime investigation or government organization and should be taken strictly as a matter of speculation. There is no evidence to suggest that any of the following locations have actually been targeted by the STO or any other terrorist organization. 
47% - Another MAGLEV station
21% - Pantheon Bridge
14% - Graystone Industries campus
12% - Apollo Park
3% - Caprica Museum of Art
3% - Off-Colony 
Here are the results of the Off-Colony responses:
53% - Tauron
27% - Picon
12% - Libran
7% - Canceron
1% - Aquarion

Whither the C-Bucs?

Whither the C-Bucs? is a The Caprican Sports article written by Matthew Riley. It was printed in Martius 23, YR42.
== Story ==
No interview today. No musings on the athleticism of the other colonies. No, today we're going to keep it at home, and get down and dirty. Cold hard facts. What's going down with the C-Bucs? 
C-Bucs recently lost to the Olympia Stallions, 17-35. Their chance for a wild card in the playoffs is looking doubtful. Doubtful, but not impossible. Voxrector Jimmy Cox and Serger Kevin Kovat might have a few tricks that have yet to pull. Yes, I've said that about the C-Bucs in yesteryear when they're not doing so well - that they might have a "few tricks." And remember that sometimes they do. 
On the other hand, Graystone Industries stock is plummeting as sales of Holobands go to charity. Daniel Graystone in personal, professional and economic crisis. Will he be forced to sell the Bucs? Let's hope not. But stay tuned. These are strange times. 
What else has happened? Some highlights: 
C-Bucs beat the Picon Panthers, 72-57, which ended in a second six-minute overtime in which Kovat faced off mono-on-mono against the Panthers' Johnny Mayburn. And Kovat kicked his ass. Literally, if you remember. That was funny. We needed a laugh, as it was raining like there was no tomorrow. 
C-Bucs beat the Sagittaron Archers, 88-3. How the Archers managed to get three points without collapsing is beyond me. I'm not going to be yet another guy to say this, but...OK, I will. Archers = Worst. Team. Ever. 
C-Bucs were defeated by the Leonis Wildcats, 98-96, in a six-minute overtime that lasted approximately two seconds. The gods are, indeed, dead. 
C-Bucs were defeated by the Boskirk All Reds because Jackie Donovan is the worst Regis in the history of the game. He's brainwashed his Sentios into consenting to his every psychotic whim and has never once in his miserable life made a decent call on or off the court. Possibly the most infuriating game in the history of the sport. And Jackie can slap me with however many lawsuits he can dig up - he deserved that little love tap from yours truly. Glass Jaw Jackie Donovan. 
Anyway, it's been an interesting season, if not a great one. And it's not over yet. There are surprises in store, Capricans. Maybe even a few tricks. Stay tuned! Go Bucs!

Who Are the Soldiers of the One?

Who Are the Soldiers of the One is a The Caprican Opinion article written by Harold Sims. It was printed in Februarius 12, YR42.
== Story ==
We all know that the MAGLEV tragedy was an act of terrorism on the part of an organization that calls itself the STO. Who are these monsters, and what would drive them to commit such an unspeakable act of mass murder? 
Unfortunately, very little is known about the STO at this time. As we learned from Special Agent Duram during the Mayor's first press conference regarding the bombing, the Soldiers of The One is an organization that "espouses a monotheistic religious philosophy, advocating the worship of a single, all-knowing, all-powerful God." 
Which means it's been confirmed that the MAGLEV bombing was an act of religious terrorism. Monotheism is nothing new; nor are the monotheistic cults that are known for using force to express their beliefs. The STO, however, has now raised the bar for religious extremism with its horrific and senseless act of destruction and death. They've been dormant for ten years - they are dormant no longer. And they've left their mark on Caprica City, one that won't wash away easily or quickly. 
Who is a member of the STO? Who has it in him to kill hundreds of innocent people in the name of a One True God? If you believe the level of paranoia and suspicion going on in Caprica City right now, pretty much everyone is a potential Soldier. Hate crimes against anyone who's even vaguely monotheistic are rampant, the levels of violence escalating. The city is on fire. 
Thanks to Dr. Amanda Graystone, we now know of at least one confirmed member of the STO: the late Zoe Graystone, age 15, who was apparently on the MAGLEV train and may have been the one to detonate the explosives. The Gods help that family. 
The insignia of the STO is the infinity symbol. Let us all pray that they aren't around for that long, and that they're brought to justice before they can kill again.
