Greetings,
As we all know, November 11, 2012 is Veterans Day. And speaking of veterans, we have members here at Battlestar Galactica Fan Club, who are either serving or have served in the military. We here at Battlestar Raven. salutes all of you warriors, past or present, for your service and sacrifices made, in order to protect the very freedom we all so much enjoy and which this country was founded on. What all of you have done, will never be forgotten and will always be appreciated. Be proud of your heritage ( current branch of the service currently serving or have served in) and let it be known with pride.
There are many Battlestar Galactica fans who are really into ship designs and the Sci-Fi technological aspect of Battlestar Galactica. There are lots of technical manuals with ship designs for other similar Sci-Fi productions such as Star Wars and Star Trek. It is a lucrative merchandising income for both, and their materials are protected by copyrights. Anybody who has access to the producers of Battlestar Galactica, and I know some do, might encourage them to provide some good ship designs and technical manuals. There is a decent market for this sort of thing, including fans, role players, Sci-Fi technogeeks, etc. This would not only provide extra income for the producers, but would also advertise Battlestar Galactica, making it even more popular, and would assist in funding future productions. This applies to both the original and re-imagined versions.
There are some very sparse speculation designs out there, but it would be much better to have a cannon version that is a bit more detailed and official and is supported by the writers and producers of the Battlestar Galactica genera. The most popular/sought after designs include the original series Columbia class Battlestar Galactica, the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, Mercury class Battlestar Pegasus, and the Valkyrie class battlestars, as well as viper designs, raptor designs, etc., and possibly the Cylon Base Stars and Raiders from both versions.
Please pass on the request/suggestion, and encourage the production of official cannon technical manuals for Battlestar Galactica. Some have personal relationships and access to the writers and producers, and any fans can make requests at Galacticon 3 and other conventions in person as well.
Before we move on to our award though, just a reminder to those folks in Portland Oregon, Orlando Florida, Providence Rhode Island, Long Beach Calfiornia & surrounding areas that there are four Cons underway or about to be underway that the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club will be at!
Obviously we'll be there to promote the club, but just as importantly to promote Galacticon III!
(Special note regards Long Beach Comic Con...Kate Vernon will not be able to attend due to a filming conflict), but Dr. Kevin Grazier (Science Advisor....among other shows...to the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, will be sitting in with us both Saturday and Sunday!
Be sure & catch up with Dan Allan & most of the original Battlestar Galactica cast members in Providence!
Portland Oregon: Orycon
Orlando: Hurricane Who
Providence: Rhode Island Comic Con
Long Beach: Long Beach Comic Con
OK, now for the award presentation...this goes out to a certifiably gifted & multi-talented artist, .whose music inspire's and provokes & moves whomever listens to it...music that completes whatever scene it's set to, whether on the screen or as a mental picture.
I was honored to be introduced to this fantastic musician by another fantastic musician several years ago....it so happened that I was helping Stu Phillips at his table during a Con in Burbank California...I think this is when the re-mastered version of the Knightrider soundtrack was coming out as a matter of fact...and Stu made my introduction to the person who we are honoring tonight.
"There is no better friend... and no worse enemy than a Raven Colonial Marine."
Be a part of an elite group of people. Join the Raven Colonial Marines ! I think our logo, which is done with pride by our Raven Commander, speaks for itself. You can also join our group page here: http://battlestarfanclub.com/group/raven-colonial-marine

Hello!
I'm making a fan film in Los Angeles in about two weeks, and I need a few BSG cosplayers to take center stage. If you have acting experience, I definitely want to hear from you. If you don't, I promise it'll be a fun day.
Right now the shoot is planned for the weekend of 11/15, exact date isn't solid yet. If you participate, you'll get a screen credit, a copy of the finished short film and food on set. And the chance to hang out with other BSG fans, and maybe one or two people from the show. Shhhh....

Thank you all for joining our group here. And we will try our best to make your experience not only as members but as fans of Battlestar Galactica like all of us here, a memorable one.
Also, the new Comic Palooza/Galacticon 3 promotional cards are awesome in helping spread the word about the Comic Palooza and Galacticon 3 Convention for next year. The two sided card was very easy to hand out and make people aware about Comic Palooza and Galacticon 3. This will be an awesome experience for all those in attendance next year.
Be safe everyone especially with the holidays coming up!
Here is some more Sci-Fi technology becoming a reality now. Behold:
Plasma Jet Electric Thrusters For Interplanetary Spacecraft! They seem to give much better thrust than the modern and wimpy ion engines. It also looks to be more cost effective, and easily scaled up or down depending on what sort of space craft you are working with.
This was sent to me by one of our NEWEST members here on the Battlestar Fan Club, Alex Beech. They live in New York, which all know was devastated by the recent super-storm. Even so, it is somewhat noble and admirable that they are not asking for help for them selves, but rather another person in need:
...My Mother, Tara my dog, and I fared well. Scary sounds but overall, not a terrible experience. Thanks for checking on us!!
By the way, BSG actor Lymari Nadal is the featured artist on our site,
www.indiegogo.com/legomproject. We're raising funds because our playwright friend is really sick. Needs a kidney transplant. Could you let your friends know?
Edward James Olmos and James Callis also made videos...check out our gallery.
Warmly,
Alex
I hope y’all will give it a look, and even if you can’t help personally, pass on the information. Podemos salvar una vida!
