Hey Colonials! Check this out! This shows how and who designed the Colonial Warrior uniform, the original Cylon Centurions, etc.  http://www.galactica.tv/battlestar-galactica-1978-news/who-really-designed-the-colonial-warrior-costume.html 

Good hunting!

Fellow Colonials!

Today is a very special day indeed...television history was made and a new legend was born.

When the series ended, I don't think anybody could have even have dreamt the road that was to be followed, the path this franchise has taken.

I think all the fans really owe a debt of gratitude not only to Glenn Larson for creating Battlestar Galactica...but an equally large thanks to Richard Hatch for his unswerving dedication to the revival.

Not to be forgotten are the scores of actors, actresses, writers, directors, producers, production people & all those involved in the making of the legend as well.

In turn, all those folks have all of you...the loyal fans who supported, watched, cheered and were the real fire that powered & continues to power the engines of that grand old lady of space...the Galactica.

For the past 13 years the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club has also been in the fight since it's inception and we look forward to the NEXT 35 years of this marvel.

This event is all that much sweeter because this past Sunday, the ever so talented Bear McCreary received an Emmy for his score...not for Battlestar Galactica...but for DaVinci's Demon's.

Regardless of what the victory was for...it is richly deserved...and we are very proud of Bear & I am very happy for my friend.

The legendary Stu Phillips introduced me to Bear a couple of years back & frankly to be in the combined presence of such two profound musical geniuses is frankly intimidating...however, both of them are friendly & humble...which makes the knowing that much better.

Right now, all I can say is "Go Bear Go!"...keep making Emmy award caliber music & the fans of that music will always be there.

Now just a little side note in preparation for our Hero of Battlestar Galactica announcement....5 years ago today, Richard Hatch, Terry Carter & many other cast members and a full compliment of fans were celebrating the 30th annniversary of BSG aboard the Carnival Paradise...lovingly dubbed Battlestar Paradise for the duration of our voyage....we were moored in the harbor of Ensanada Mexico & viewed the original "Saga of a Star World" aboard ship.

As they say....good times!

One of our guests on that voyage happens to be the recipient of tonights honor...a writer from the original series...a man whose vision shaped what we all saw on the screen & became part of the enduring legend.

Tonight Colonials, we honor Terrence McDonnell....Hero of Battlestar Galactica!

So Say We All!

 On this Day,Thirty-Five Years Ago, A Little Sci-fi Show About Some Humans being Chased By Killer Robots Made It's Debut On ABC; This Was The Creation Of a TV Producer Named Glen Larson; He Began Developing This Idea In the 1960's; At The time, There was really No Market For Space Drama On TV,Because,After All, A Show called 'Star Trek' Only lasted Three Seasons; However, That Show Appealed To The Intellectuals, And Gained A Following That grew Bigger And Stronger as The Years Went by; Then, People saw A Film Called 'Star Wars', Written And Directed by a Upstart Named George Lucas, Which In Many Ways,opened the Flood Gates For Adventures in The Stars.

  Glen Larson took His Concept,refined it, And Pitched it To ABC; With The Success Of Star Wars Still Fresh in their Minds, They Jumped At The opportunity, And Greenlit a full season.

  At First, The Ratings Were Great; Later,however,They Began To Slip; And, The Network Rethought About This Space series,Which Was Costing them an Astounding One Million Dollars An Episode To Produce; There Were Plans For A Second Season, which Included Legendary Writer Issac Asimov as Science Consultant; Unfortunately,It was Not To Be; Due To The rising Cost of FX ,And A Court Battle Between Universal And 20th Century Fox Over Alleged Plagiarism, The Series Was Cancelled.

 A Year Later,STAR TREK,The Show It's Fans Would Not let Die,Hit The Big Screen,And Confirmed It's Becoming A Franchise. In The Meantime,The Loyal Following The Glen Larson series Had cultivated,was Beginning To Grow,And Mature;Biding It's Time in wait For The Day That Their Saga Would return.

  Fast Forward 14 years Later: The First Three chapters Of the Star Wars saga Are rolling out; The Trek Franchise,After 10 Films,And Four more TV Series,Was For the Moment,Running out of steam.  A Writer Named Ronald D. Moore,Who Had Written For The Trek Franchise, Took The Larson saga,And Updated It For The Next Generation Of Fans; He Radically changed Many of the details,Including Genders of  Some of The Main Characters; He Made The New version Of The saga Much more Darker,And Grittier, In keeping With the New Realities Of Life Today. Many Who remember the old,did Not Accept The New,Until They Took a Second look; The Story Was Still the Same: A Race Of Humans,Engaged In A War With Human-like Machines,having lost the war,Are now on The run To Find A Haven - A Planet Called EARTH.

  Looking Back on this wonderful Thing we Call BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, There is No Doubt,It Has Gained A Following Equal To Star Wars,And Star Trek; And, even though There Are Many More Sci-Fi sagas, Such as Stargate,And Walking Dead, No One Will Doubt That 'BSG' Will Continue To thrive,As long as All generations Will Have access To These Stories,And Make their own.

  With that Being said,Who Else is going To Watch The Original Pilot On DVD Tonight?

                                                                                                                          Leonidas,CAG,BFC-002

TRIAL VERSION 1

TRIAL VERSION 2

This is Battlestar Raven-BFC 002 NEW AirWing trial recruitment poster. We have two version of it as well. Which one do you think looks better and that we use....This can be subject to change.

I've completed the first version of the Raven Marine black tactical short sleeve shirt. Please have a look and let me know what you think. This is a different shirt than the Razor black uniform shirt. This one is cotton and has the tactical type sleeve pockets with velcro on them. I've designed colony patches for the upper portion of the pockets and sized the Raven top gun patch to fit on the lower pocket velcro. The shirt has the traditional CDF type logo on the chest just like the Razor shirts. 

If you're interested in getting some of these made let me know. The more people interested the better pricing on the patches and shirts. 

Kreios

Battlestar Raven would just like to wish Raven Colonial Marine Member:  Paul "Iceworm" Oakley AND Greg Savage,  A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  May you have a great one and many more to come.

From all of your fellow crewmates here on Battlestar Raven!

 Ensign Hammer's Last Mission

Ensign Michael “Hammer” Quinn set out on a routine Mapping mission in Raptor 320. His mission was completed and he was returning to the Raven, but as fate would have it Hammer was captured by the Cylons. Hammer was taken to a remote Laboratory and was used in one of the Cylons cruelest experiments to date. The Cylons were attempting to clone Hammer to create a new line of skin jobs to infiltrate the Colonial Fleet starting with the Battlestar Raven BFC-002.

Ens. Hammer’s return was overdue and a search party was sent to locate him and the missing Raptor he was piloting. The Raptor was located, but Hammer was no where to be found. Fortunately an Ion trail was discovered that led the search party to the dwarf planet and the secret Cylon Laboratory.

Mission Briefing:
