Juan Lopez aka Blindsword had a very good suggestion that the fleet dim lights down to 50% to honor the victims of the tragic shooting at the Sikh Temple last week.
I will expand upon that with the following order:
The entire BFC fleet and all attendant Battlestars shall observe a full week of mourning beginning Saturday 8/11/12 till Saturday 8/18/12 symbolized by the virtual condition of running lights at 50% capacity to honor the victims of the tragic shooting at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek Wisconsin as well as the victims of the other recent shooting in Aurora Colorado.
It is so ordered.
This is a symbolic gesture but one that denotes solidarity and support.
Both acts were perpetuated in hate and madness. We strongly condemn these acts and grieve for the victims, their families and loved ones..
We are also taught a lesson as to the outcome of unreasoning bigotry and hatred and how we must be vigilant and fight it every day.
So Say We All!

Battlestar Raven is dimming its lights 50% as a show of respect for those that lost their lives on this tragic event. So duely noted on the ship logs.
