Fellow Colonials,

I just want to wish each and everyone of you here at Battlestar Galactica Fan Club, a very Happy Halloween" from all of us here on Battlestar Raven.  I hope each and everyone of you enjoy this day with your children.  Just do not eat too much of the goodies today. :-)

Blueprints for the Battlestar Galactica:

Sorry, still no GOOD blueprints for the Pegasus.  The systems should be about the same though.  Main differences being that the Pegasus has raptor bays on the sides of the landing bays, and is bigger with more engines, twice the landing bays, etc.  The main components would be about the same though.

Raven Members and Friends,

Please come and join members of Battlestar Raven that will be on hand at the Wizard World Austin Comic Con in Texas, that will be representing Battlestar Galactica Fan Club and promoting Galacticon 3.  And while you are there, check out our new "Out of This World" flyer :-)

It’s too late to order uniforms for Halloween, but there is still time for Galacticon 3.  For any interested:

For any interested in Battlestar Galactica uniforms from the re-imagined series, here are several to pick from.  I got a flight suit and Commander’s blues from these folks a few years ago.  Not bad for the price.  You can modify at will.

ATTENTION All Colonial Marines:

It looks like some Colonial Marine uniforms are finally available if you are interested.  Too late for Halloween, but probably enough time to order for Galacticon 3.

i have seen some serious 3d rendering but this blending of live action and cgi was incredible. the only way to see it right now is subtitled but it is all worth it just to see the whole thing.

after watching the original series and then the new bsg in sequence i have to say they made an interesting tie back by season 4 the points back to the original serires, it one serious loop from what i can tell

Good Morning Crew of the Raven,

I hope everybody had a great weekend! Also, Raven ship patches are in the works and I am looking around for the best place to get it made. So if anyone of you know a good place to get it made, kindly let me know. I am also having a convention banner made for the Raven much like what we had on the Aries.

Another thing, if anyone of you will be in the Austin, Texas Convention coming up this weekend, I might pop in there and do a little recruiting for Battlestar Galactica Fan Club  / Battlestar Raven. I will have my tablet with me.

The rest of the logos will be presented here soon. Let us crank up the recruiting effort so we can man all the departments with enough people. We are doing well with in regards to that more than what I expected in such a short period of time since I took over. For that, I thank you all for all your efforts. Keep up the great job!!!!! Each and everyone of you that contributes to the ship success makes my job as the commander easy. Something I have learned in my real life responsibilities that one is only good of a leader as the people that is underneath him or her.   It is a testament to the quality of the people we have on the Raven!!

Major Bartraw, kindly see which crew members have not been assigned to a department yet.

So Say We All!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to offer a very special congratulations to Matt Gedeon who has been promoted to the position of Chief of Engineering aboard the Battlestar Atlantia.  He has shown him self to be a very capable and enthusiastic member of the crew and of the fleet.  There is an ample supply of Virgon ambrosia, Romulan ale, and, naturally Guinness in the Officer's lounge, and I invite one and all to drop by and join Colonel Saul Tigh of the Galactica and my good friend and fellow engineer Montgomery Scott as toast Chief Gedeon!  Well done Chief Gedeon! Congratulations! So say we ALL!

Behold: Some good Battlestar Galactica pumpkin carving pics.  Just a few days to carve your own and post them!  Ship logos would look good to!  Please post your masterpieces...or at least your attempts at master pieces.  It'll be fun, and we can see who's most creative and artistic!  Good carving! So say we all!

Well, as you can probably all tell by the increased mail traffic that there is a lot going on in the Battlestar Galactica universe! Firstly I wanted to point out (for all of you who took a look) at the revised version of the Galacticon 3 trailer...yes, in a day we just issued version 1.5!

Please take a look at it here 

Some very simple revisions were made, but again we hope you enjoy it & share it with friends...

The very special announcement we'd like to make is that coming up on the weekend of November 2nd, 3rd & 4th some special happenings are going on...as mentioned above...in the BSG universe.

Four Cons featuring the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club being held at the same time across the US!

We will be talking BSG & Galacticon 3 in Portland OR Nov 2-4 at OryCon 34 in Long Beach CA Nov 3-4 at Long Beach Comic Con in Orlando FL at Hurricane Who & last but not least in Providence RI at Rhode Island Comic Con 

We will be North & South & East & West!

Very special note regarding the Rhode Island Con...and this is going to give fans a BIG foretaste of what to expect at Galacticon 3 is the fact that they have gathered together the cast members of the original Battlestar Galactica for this very special two day event.

In attendance:

Richard Hatch

Dirk Benedict

Herbert Jefferson Jr.

Jack Stauffer

Anne Lockhart
