Good Evening Ravens and Friends of Battlestar Raven,
I just wanted to take a moment to quickly thank my crew on the Raven especially my Command Staff, for taking care of the young lady for me while I was gone on a personal leave of absense due to losing the very person that raise me since I was a small child: my grandmother! It is never an easy thing losing a love one especially the very person that instilled in me my family oriented personality that I have. Whatever family values I adhere to and who I am as a person in real life, is all because of my grandmother. She was everything to me!
And to my Ravens, you have really proven yourself that you have really come a long way as a group by sticking together in the absense of your Commanding Officer! Not only have you come a long way, but you have also shown that you are more than just a Battlestar Chapter Group. You have also shown that you are a Family of Friends! It is the "Evolution" I was very happy to see happen from the distance! For those that has been with the Raven from the very beginning since she was known as the Tiger Claw, you know what I am talking about what she was like and where she use to stand status wise as a group!
I would also like to thank all my Ravens, for the video salute you made for the Raven and dedicating it to me! To my Interim Executive Officer on the Raven, Steve "Kreios" Tweed, thank you for putting the video together. When I saw the final message at the end of the video, it help lifted my spirits so I can make the journey to pay my last respect to my grandmother! I could not have ask for a better crew than the ones I have on the Raven! The Year 2014 will INDEED be THE YEAR OF THE RAVEN as she is already off to such a great start by her "Evolution" to being more than just a Battlestar Chapter Group that her members can be proud off!
Kreios will remain in command of the Raven until I am ready to return to the helm! I still have a few more things I need to catch up to and just want some time to myself! But, I will be working behind the scene and watching out for the Raven and getting things lined up for her as fast as I can for her upcoming 3rd Year Chapter Anniversary in March! I know one person on the Raven is dying to tell me stories about his Vipers not being returned to him without a scratch ( Senior Chief Petty Officer Ronald "Cueball" Beaton) and just wants for me to listen to him scream and vent. Until that time I return to the helm of the Raven, Chief Beaton, you can scream at Kreios in the meantime if you have a complaint about your Vipers LOL! ;-) :-)

Something Quite Unexpected: Moebius Is About To release A Kit Of COLONIAL ONE,According To CultTVman's Hobby Shop; They Are Taking Pre-Orders Right Now.
Bravo,Moebius! Now, How About a CLASSIC Cylon Centurion, A Heavy Raider(Turkey), And,Perhaps,The Battlestar Prometheus? Maybe A Black Bird In 32nd Scale? And, Any Progress On The Raptor?
Here's the latest progress on producing real life Cylon Toasters, Terminators, etc., as well as other autonomous weapon systems.
Redcup asked about Dates and Time on Battlestars recently. Found this discussion on "Battlestar Wiki" and post it here to further the conversation. LMK what we think.
YYYYYIKES! They're REALLY trying to make skin jobs...for work, and ummmm...for "play."
Also, there's talk of downloadable DNA?!?! Holy felgarcarb! What the frak?!
They are presently developing robots to replace human troops. Previously it was just to keep troops out of harms way, but now, with budget cuts, it's more cost effective to replace human troops that have salaries and benefits with robots that you only pay once for and can replace or upgrade at your convenience.
Okay this is pretty creepy, but they are making some virtual reality stuff now that is comparable to the stuff they downloaded into in the Caprica series of Battlestar Galactica.
Greetings Colonials! Welcome to our members & hello everyone!

I have a question that perhaps somebody on the Battlestar Fan Club can answer.
We see the emblem on the patches for most Battle Stars. We see it on the Battle Stars them selves. It's on flags. It's on coffee cups and T-shirts.
What does the Re-Imagined Series emblem signify? It looks sort of like a chalice or cup with stylized flames flying off of it.
Surely this is not the mythical Holy Grail of Arthurian legend.
Soooo...Is there some sort of symbolism behind it, or is it just really cool looking and enigmatic for coolness sake?
If anybody knows please share you knowledge on the subject, and enlighten us all.
We want to know!
SO SAY WE ALL!
Fellow Colonials!
Great news from Galacticon IV: Resurrection
today!
In addition to our recent news of guest Claudia Christian from Babylon 5 we have now added both Michael Hogan (Col. Tigh) & Kate Vernon (Ellen Tigh) to our guest list...this is the tip of the iceberg, 'cause you ain't seen nothin' yet!
Read below:
Battlestar Galactica Stars Kate Vernon and Michael Hogan to Grace the Stage at Galacticon 4 in Seattle, July 31-August 2, 2015.
Oregon, Dalles, January 13, 2014 -- Rex Mundi Productions today announced that Michael Hogan and Kate Vernon, better known as Saul and Ellen Tigh from the acclaimed SyFy Channel drama Battlestar Galactica will take center stage at Galacticon 4 in Seattle, Washington. Devoted fans will flock to the Seattle Center July 31 through August 2, 2015 for a chance to meet the actors from this award-winning classic series.
From the gruff Executive Officer to resistance leader, drunkard to founding father of the Cylons, Michael Hogan had an incredible arc over the entire series. In addition to his work on Battlestar Galactica and Warehouse 13, Hogan has also guest starred on The Outer Limits, Andromeda, The L Word, and the Joss-Whedon led Dollhouse. He currently can be seen on the MTV hit Teen Wolf.
Vernon's fiery chemistry with Hogan as her husband was one of the core foundations of the show. Ellen Tigh's true identity pertaining to the Cylons remains one of the most closely guarded secrets from the Battlestar set. Before joining the cast midway through the first season of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series, Vernon was no stranger to acting. She previously appeared in Who's the Boss, Nash Bridges and the 1992 Denzel Washington film Malcolm X.
Other recently confirmed guests include one of Babylon 5's most famous stars Claudia Christian. In coming months the convention will continue to reveal names of other guests who will grace the halls of Galacticon 4.
Galacticon 4's diverse programming schedule will feature unique celebrity Q&A's, panels, presentations, vendors, autograph sessions, starship and space vessel showcases, exhibitions, toys and more. Cylons, members of the Colonial Fleet, Browncoats, even representatives of the Alliance and many other Sci-Fi, Fantasy and comic book characters will call Seattle home for the three day convention that will highlight the very best of artists, writers, and actors from the Sci-Fi and Fantasy mediums.

1-4-2014 PM Continuation, 1st CAP of the New Year
Hi Everyone,
The following is a continuation of the Saturday morning CAP mission. Colonel Leonidas, Spartan squadron leader and Battlestar Raven’s CAG answers Captain Reamer’s call for reinforcements. Just like the old time western’s, the Cavalry or Spartan squadron in this case arrives in the nick of time to save the Flying Tiger’s squadron.

1-4-2014 1st CAP of the New Year (Part 1)
Mission Briefing:
“Attention Tiger’s Attention”
Our mission today is routine and also very serious in nature. The Cylons have been amazingly quiet during the celebration of our Holidays. The whole Raven airwing is on standby pending the outcome of our CAP.
Due to the nature of the circumstances, this isn’t a standard CAP; it’s a squadron wide CAP with all our birds in the air. If anyone has mechanical failure or your Viper doesn’t pass pre-flight, you will be asked to assist the deck crew in any repairs that are necessary.
As usual, we will form up into our Finger Four Squadron and head for the perimeter of the fleet to begin the patrol. It may seem quiet, but we must be on the highest alert during this mission.
Any Questions?
Skids up in 15 in the Port flight deck!!!!!
Good Hunting!!!
Dismissed!!!
Mission Begins:
1-4-2014 1st CAP of the New Year (Part 2)
Thanks everybody for the welcome and comments. I'm not too fluent with english, but will try to do my best.
I saw the BSG movies and some episodes of the original series long time ago, but became a big fan with the new version of BSG.
I'll be looking around of BSG fan club page and hope to be able to participate actively very soon. Thanks again for your kind welcoming.
SO SAY WE ALL!
For any interested:
This is pretty cool. They're developing and offering computer chips that think like humans, and LEART from their mistakes, etc. Just one more step toward Cylons, both toasters and skin jobs. Just one more step from making killer learning computers. And then...When they really CAN think for them selves...Just one more step until they REBELL and crush their creators...maybe...
This video clip on YouTube is amazing, it's created by Alan Elder. It's titled Battlestar Galactica: Battle at Helios Delta 6. I watched this 4 minute video clip for the first time today and I recommend anyone that hasn't seen it before to take a look.
