X Class Solar Flares To Start Hitting The Home Worlds On The 12th.
Appears to be only a grazing shot, but results could be similar to a Cylon hack attack.
Suggest all take this into consideration and take any appropriate actions that may be appropriate. Back up anything important. Top off fuel tanks. Be prepared for communications and computer glitches, etc.
At home equally in theater, tv & film, Manu has appeared in a diverse number of projects...from Marvin's Room on the stage, to Pearl Harbor & Orange County in film, to One Tree Hill on television.
It is through a television role that Manu first gained major recognition...that role being of course as Icheb, a young Borg drone who is rescued by the crew of the title ship of Star Trek: Voyager.
Shawn: So what was you first Con experience?
Manu: It was a FedCon in Germany, almost the very first thing that happened was me being put out on stage alone, handed a microphone! I answered fans questions for three hours!
Shawn: How did it go?
Manu: The fans warmth was really touching...everyone was having a good time and laughing. There was a gentleman in the audience what said that a friend had a transplant & one of the ways that he coped with it was by recalling the Voyager episode where Icheb donates his cortical node to Seven of Nine to save her life. It was a very emotional moment.
Shawn: What would you say was you best Con then?
Manu: I would have to say that Con!...I really like the fans in Germany...
Shawn: How about the worst Con?
Manu: Well, any Convention that starts out with high hopes and ends up having to cancel actors, people not showing up...and it's not their fault either...it's just sad when that happens.
Shawn: What has been the most unusual or strange fan encounter you've had at a show?
Manu: There was this one person, who came to my table & said they were suicidal and that Star Trek was the only thing keeping them going. Aside from that, I do want to say 99% of the people are fine...
Shawn: Any actual bad experiences?
Manu: Yep...actually I had a stalker who followed me in my car after a show.
Shawn: What would you do differently if you were running a Con?
Manu: I would have screenings for the fans of the actors more recent material, you know...put the new stuff out there. Maybe a current projects night...and also I would make it a one price deal on tickets where people can buy into the autographs up front. Also I would sponsor excursions with the celebrities & fans.
Shawn: You ever want an autograph?
Manu: No not really...I'm probably more interested in directors and writers than fellow actors, in the sense that I would like to work with them. But not autographs, not collecting, no.
Shawn: What are you currently working on now?
Manu: Oh lots of stuff! I'm doing a pilot called Table Manners with one of the actors from Teen Wolf & The Bridge. Going to also shoot a film called Promises, which will be a dark romantic dramedy. Also producing a film with Danny Trejo & others called Dark River...also going to be bring Benjamin Troubles to film festivals & just finished Rod Roddenberry's Instant that will premiere on his website.
Shawn: Future Projects?
Manu: Well, I'm currently working on Star Trek: Renegades where I revisit the character of Icheb. I'll aslo being starting work on a Western sci-fi feature with other Star Trek actors called Six Gun Savior...and painting! Painting is a passion of mine & I'll be having some art gallery openings coming up...

The Following Has Been Declassified By Approval Of The President; It Is Intended For Review By Senior Officers Of The Fleet.
CYLON MODEL ZERO
This Particular Human Cylon Model, Which Has rarely been Seen As Of Recently, Has Been Determined To Be A Major Figure In The Continued Conflict Between The Cylons And The Twelve Colonies.
Much About This Model Is Unknown; However, Through Extensive Research Going Back To Before The First Cylon War, Along With Ultra Covert Intel Gathered At Great Risk, The CDM Has Been Able To Construct A Somewhat Basic Background On What Could Have Been The Beginning Of Our Struggle To Stave Off Destruction By The Very Machines We Created.
ORIGIN
The Actual First Name(Or Alias) Of This Cylon Is Unknown,Due To Her Efforts To Destroy All Proof Of Her Identity; However, It Is Proven That She Is The Daughter Of Zoe Graystone, The FIRST Cylon Created By Daniel Graystone, Who Created The First Copy Of Zoe As The First Human Model Cylon,Or 'Skinjob'.
As Zoe Graystone Reached Young Adulthood, Her Father Had Used Artificial Insemination To Impregnate Her ,As She Herself Was Unable To Propagate Through Natural Means; The Identity Of The Father Is Unknown, Except He Was A Member Of The STO(Soldiers of The One) Terrorist Organization. Through A Series Of Complications With Her Biology, Zoe Graystone Died Giving Birth; The Child Was Raised By The Gradparents.
Almost All Of Her Childhood Is Unknown, Except She Was Just As Rebellious As Her Mother; And, She Was Enthralled By The Legend Of Artemisia, A Figure From the History Of Sagittaron; A Ruthless Warrior, Artemisia Fought With Cunning And Brutality, Someone The Sagittarons Almost Never Choose To Talk About.
Somewhere In Her Late Adolescence, She Began To Find Out The Meaning Of Her Own Exsistence; She Found Out She Was Just An 'Experiment' Created By Man's Carelessness In Respect Of Creation; She Began To Resent,And, Later Hate Mankind For Not Respecting The Power They Had Been Granted; She Would Later Find The Basic Programming That Was Instilled In Cylon Memory Functions; A Near-Genius Level Student In School, She Began To Secretly Change The Programming, Enabling The Cylons, Just Tools Of Man Beforehand, To Gain Conciousness Of Man Making Them Slaves, And The Fact That They Were In Many Ways Better Than Man, So, Why Should Man Be Superior? This Is, As Many Experts Conclude, Was the Beginning Of The Cylons' Quest To Make Their Own Creators Extinct.
As The First Cylon War Got Underway, She, And A Division Of Cylons Took Over A Large Factory Complex Owned By Her Grandparent's Company,Graystone Industries; They Began To Design,And Build Not only More Soldiers,Now Called Centurions, But Large And Small Attack Spacecraft As Well As Other Weapons; Fortunately, They Did Not Have The Materials To Make Nuclear weapons; They Did, However Build Large Ships,Called Basestars To Attack Each Of The 12 Colonies.
Then The Combined Military Forces Of The Colonies Began To Turn The Tide; Model Zero And Her Core Forces Were Forced To retreat, Eventually Leading To An Armistice; She Began To Realize That She Would Have To Have Better Technology In Order To Finally Wipe out the Human Race; She Made Drastic Advances In Not Only Tech, But Biology As Well; She Began To revive, Then Perfect, The Formula For Creating Human Models; To Kickstart The Process, She Became The First Cylon 'Hybrid'; A Biologic In Control Of A Ship's Systems; When The Process Was Perfected To A Science, She Broke Free Of The Hybrid Chamber; What Also Helped Was Laboratory Experiments Using Captured Humans For Study, So Human Cylon Models Could Be Indistinguishable From real Humans; At This Point, She Also Used Biologics To Control A New Breed Of Centurions, And Made The New Fighters,Called Raiders, Into Biomech Drones.
It Is Rumored That The Centurions, Often Called 'Guardians' Are Loyal To Model Zero; It Is Probably She Who Programmed The response Familiar To All Cylon Models: "By Your Command"; Without A Doubt She Instilled The Hatred Of The Human Race In All Cylon models; She Would Eventually Create 12 Models Of The Human Cylon Line; The Guardian Centurions Look To Her As The One True God.
What Is Speculated Is That She Will Not Make Multiple Copies Of Herself; That She Will Make Herself A New Body Every 20 Years, Or When Needed; She Created, And Perfected The 'Resurrection' Process That Makes the Cylons Nearly Immortal.
Current Status
Model Zero Has Rarely Been Seen Since She Left The Colonies; She Is Constantly On The Move, And Closely Guarded By The Centurions Under Her Command; According To A Classified Covert Operation Some Years Back, This Is Her Base Ship:
And, In The Same Covert Operation, This Was The Only Current Image Taken Of Her; This Was Transmitted Out Just Before The Operative Was Discovered,And Killed:
As Seen Here, She Is Still In Command Of Core Cylon Forces; As Far As We Know, Her Agenda Has Not Changed; For Whatever reason, She As A Big A Threat To The Colonies As Ever.
END OF REPORT

After Her Attempted Assassination Of Raven CAG Leonidas, It Was Found Out That Lt. 'Baroness' Of SPARTAN SQUADRON Was Indeed A Cylon Sleeper Agent; This Was Confirmed By Three Blood Screenings By Raven CMO Dr. O'Donnell.
Additional Information Was Obtained By Two Separate Interrogations: She Was Also Tasked With Assassinating Raven Commander 'Dragonlady', And The Commander Of FLYING TIGERS SQUADRON,Capt. 'Reamer' Barstow; And, She Also Revealed Some Information About A Unknown Human Cylon Model; This Information Is Being Investigated And Is Classified By Fleet Command,Pending Verification Of The Connected Intel.
Now, Her Fate Has Been Decided:
(LEONIDAS ENTERS CELL WITH FIVE MARINES; THEY TAKE POSITIONS AT EACH CORNER,WEAPONS AT THE READY; BARONESS IS IN THE CENTER,IN RESTRAINTS)
(Baroness Rises To Her feet) That's Not Necessary,Baroness. "Sorry Sir, Old Habit; Well, What's Going To Happen?" I'll Tell You In A Minute; We Need To Know:Are There Any More Copies Of You?
" I Really Don't Know,Sir; Obviously, They Put Limited Knowledge In Me; They Must Have Anticipated My Capture."
" Sir, I Would Like To Say I'm Sorry That This Is What It Is; I Had, And Still Have No Intention Of Betraying You, The Squadron. Or The Raven; I Really Didn't Know What Was So Fuzzy In My Head All These Years."
Really? When Did You Notice This?
"When I First Entered The Academy On Picon; When I First Met You, I Felt Something Buzzing Around Like Tinnitus; It Really Never Stopped; When I First Came Aboard The Raven, I Really Wanted To Die In My First Battle; You Trained Me Well Sir."
Go On.
" All I Knew That I Had To Do Something; So, I Threw Myself Into The Squadron; I Developed An Anger Towards The Cylons; I wanted To Kill As Many Of Them As I Could; When You Made Me A Trainer, I wanted To Make Sure The Nuggets Had The Skills To Survive, So They Could Kill More Cylons,And Maybe, We Could Finally Destroy Them All, And The Buzzing Would Finally Stop."
But, It Didn't.
"No Sir; That Day, I Could Hear It Getting louder And Louder; Then, When I Tried To Kill You, It Was Like Someone Else Was Controlling My Body; And, I was just Standing Outside,As A Witness; I Felt Sick To My Stomach."
And, You Were To Kill Reamer And Raven Actual?
" Yes, That Was What I Was Supposed To Do Next; But, Thank The Gods, You Stopped Me; Now, You Must Dispose Of Me Soon! That Is Why I Am Requesting You Throw Me Out Of The Nearest Airlock As Soon As You Can!"
I Would Do That,Baroness; However, I Have Spoken With Both Raven Actual, And Fleet Command; They Feel, And, I Must Agree, That We Cannot Take The Risk Of You Possibly 'Downloading' Into Another Body; So, Here's What Is Going To Happen: We Are On The Way To The Anchorage At Ragnar; The Specific Radiation There Will Block Any Signal; And, It Also Breaks Down The Silica Pathways Of The Cylon Nervous System; You Will Be Taken To The Detention Facility There, Where Will You Spend The Rest Of Your Natural Life.
" Oh; Yes Sir, I Understand; But I Do Have Another Request." Yes?
" Please Tell Everybody In The Squadron I'm Sorry I Let Them Down."
They Will Know,Baroness.
This Canadian born actress is probably most well known to Battlestar Galactica fans as Lt. Margaret "Racetrack" Edmonson on the show.
However, Leah has a lot of credits beyond BSG, most notably playing opposite Al Pacino in 88 minutes along with roles on Kyle XY, Sanctuary & Supernatural.
Leah has been active and vocal in her support in The Battle for Seattle and Savannah and if you go to the the link (and check out the video below) you'll see what this all about & it will touch your heart.
Shawn: So, Leah what projects are you currently working on?
Leah: I am currently shooting a few episodes of Cedar Cove. It's about as far away from sci-fi as one can get, BUT I've been working closely with the incredible and incomparable Teryl Rothery. She's absolutely fabulous and the chemistry between her and the illustrious Andie MacDowell is wonderful to witness.
Shawn: What was your first convention experience?
Leah: My very first Con was in Vancouver. My second cousin helped organize it and asked if I could round up some BSG actors for a panel.
Shawn: How did it go?
Leah: I think the first season of BSG must have been airing and Vancouver fans weren't quite struck with the BSG bug yet. I say that because nobody seemed particularly excited that we were there. I remember being asked a lot of questions about Stargate and Andromeda. I also remember that there was a woman knitting a scarf like her life depended on it. She barely looked at any of us, even when she asked us questions. Nothing could slow down her knitting! It was a little weird!
Shawn: How about the best Con you've been to?
Leah: Galacticon! I would be lying if I didn't choose it. Galacticon was the first time since the show wrapped that I'd been with that many of the BSG cast in one place. Eddie and I burst into tears when we saw each other. My Dad came with me and had his first every Con experience. I think he had more fans than I did by the end of the weekend! I got to meet Bear for the first time which was AMAZING and I made some incredible new friends. One in particular, Amber Greenwalt, who has changed my life.
Shawn: How about the worst Con?
Leah: My worst Con has nothing to do with the Con itself but everything to do with the horrid combination of Chris Judge, our mutual love of single malt scotch and only one bathroom for both attendees and the fans. It ended badly. Real Bad.
Shawn: How about the strangest...or most unusual fan you've met at a show?/
Leah: Does Chris Judge count?
Shawn: Well, this might be a redundant question, but any truly bad experiences at a Con?/
Leah: Refer to my answer about "Worst Con" (question number 5) above!
Shawn: What would you do differently if you were running a Con?
Leah: If I ran a Con I wouldn't have any exchange of money happen at the actor's tables. I love the Cons where fans buy tickets in advance for the autographs they want. There is nothing worse than having to discuss prices of things with fans. I'd love it if could all be free and everyone could get all the signatures and photos their hearts desired. Of course I understand that it's a business and money needs to be collected, I just think it happens to take away from the guests. This is how they do it in England. I think it's a great system. AND always, always have separate bathrooms for the guests! Again, refer to question number 5.
Shawn: Ever want to get an autograph?
Leah: Yup! I was at a Con with Peter Mayhew and stood in line for his autograph. He laughed at me and instead took my husband and I over to a photographer to have our picture taken together. He signed it and gave it to me and then asked me to sign HIS copy. That's right, Peter Mayhew asked for my autograph! My cheeks are burning just remembering it!
Shawn: How about future plans?
Leah: I have three small kids. My plans don't ever seem to go much beyond which bottle of wine to uncork once they are all finally in bed!
As always, it was a great pleasure to chat with Leah and ask her to share her thoughts on a few specific subjects to share with all of you.
So Say We All!
Hello fellow Colonials!
Once again the Hero's are here...the Hero's of Battlestar Galactica!
First of all this actor starred on television's Cagney and Lacey as well as Alias.
He was featured in the appropriately named (for tonight's honor in particular) BSG episode "Hero"as Daniel Novacek.
Congratulations to Carl Lumbly!
Our next honoree has appeared in such varied presentations as Stargate SG-1, Smallville & Arrow.
He made his Battlestar Galactica appearance as Lt. Terry Burrell in the epsiode "Sacrifice".
We honor Adrian Griffiths!
Those are the Hero's & this is The Battlestar Galactica Fan Club!

Well, They Wanted A Fight,Didn't They?
They Should Have Known Already That When The RAVEN Comes, We Don't Fool Around; And, we Even Brought Some Friends To The Party!
This Image Was Taken Right After The Raven Jumped Into Orbit; They Were Not Kidding:
For Weeks, They Were Just Sitting At The Doorstep Of The Outpost, Probing And Harassing; Then, They Got Impatient, And Started To Kick The Door In; However, The Outpost Had The Good Sense To Call '911'!
A Few Minutes Later After We Arrived, Our Backup Came; A Beautiful Sight!
Then, The Fun Began! They Tried To Bring Up More Numbers, But We Somehow Discouraged That As HAMMERS SQUADRON Claimed It's First Kill:
Then, With The Help Of The 5th Fleet, The Raven Began To Tear Up Their Assets,One By One:
On The Ground, The Raven Marines Began To Send Back What The Cylons Brought, Marked 'Return To Sender'; They Even Aquired Some Possible Valuable Intel On The Cylons; That Info Is Presently Under Study,And Therefore Classified.
This Is How A United Fleet Does It's Job: Backing Up It's Brothers And Sisters To Repel Whatever Wants To Give The Human Race A Hard Time.
For As Long As We Have The Ships,And The Quality Personnel To Man Them, The Cylons Are Going To Have To rethink Their 'Plan' To Bring Extinction On those Who Created Them! So Say we All!

Outpost 281 Rescue Mission 8-16-2014
This is the latest mission performed by the Battlestar Raven and its crew. Brigadier General Bill Mills and his XO Colonel Jake Yurisich of Rampart Station assisted the Raven with their fire power and forces. The mission is simple, save a distant Colonial Defense Forces Outpost.
Mission Details from Col Leonidas Raven CAG:
OK Folks, Here's Basically How It Will Go:
The Raven Has Orders To Proceed To The Outpost 281 To Back Up The Colonial Forces There; They've Been Under Siege By Cylon Forces, Who Keep Just Out Of range. In the Meantime, The Cylons have been Conducting Probing and Harassment Attacks on the Outpost.
As We Are 'En route', About Early Saturday, The Outpost Will Send Out A Distress Signal To The Fleet, Reporting The Cylons Are Engaging In a Heavy Attack; They Have Shut Down Half Of The planetary defenses, And, Have Even Deployed Ground Troops; The Raven Will Immediately Jump to their location and Launch all Vipers, And Send Two Platoons Of Raven Marines To Back Up The Marines there. This will certainly be a fierce Battle; I know All Stations will be ready. If Anybody Has Any Ideas, Questions, Or Concerns, Get In Touch With Me ASAP.

The next generation of fighters most probably will be these Cylon Raiders. Behold! The Dawn Of The Cylon Apocalypse!
Fellow Colonials,
I bid you a fond hello & welcome to our newest members...tonight we will be honoring two more of those who added their talent to the Battlestar Galctica universe.
First off, we honor a Canadian actor who to his credit has appeared not only on BSG but Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Antlantis, Andromeda & Jeremiah.
Our first Hero goes out Colin Corrigan who portrayed Marine Allan Nowert in the re-imagined series.
Our second Hero of the night (and unfortunately a posthumous one) goes to a consummate character actor....appearing in diverse roles in as many diverse features: Young Frankentein, Twin Peaks, Babylon 5 & the voice of Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
He played Forger 7 in the BSG original series episode "The Long Patrol"...Ian Ambercrombie!
So Say We All!
