Colonials! Here is that update on the status of Galacticon IV that I promised yesterday...
"Set all FTL drives across the fleet to the Seattle Center in Seattle, Washington from July 31st - August 2nd, 2015. That’s right Colonials, GalactiCon 4 will be happening in the beautiful emerald city of Seattle! (This explains all those Oz hints now, doesn’t it?)
So Say We All!

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:
ATTENTION ON DECK! At Ease!
Alright Folks! You Know The Deal: Were Going To Knock Over Another Cylon Toy Factory; We're Also looking To Liberate Some hostages; We need To Let Them Know That They Can't Dig in our Back Yard!

"BOJAY" 11/22/99 - 9/3/13
Bojay has chosen to leave the Galactica and rejoin Commander Cain and the Pegasus. He is on deep space patrol chasing the golmongering Cylons. Those of us he left behind will miss him greatly. He was a true colonial warrior and a wonderful friend. Raise a cup of ambrosia to his memory knowing the Lords of Kobol are watching over him on his new adventures.
Jack
May the Lords of Kobol Bless You...

Battlestar Galactica Fan Club
Hello Colonials! A Happy Labor Day to all who work hard around our beautiful Earth. The Battlestar Galactica Fan Club salutes and supports the rights of workers who toil everyday no matter the profession. This of course will also be a day that we salute another hero of Battlestar Galactica...but first we need to correct a "small" mistake...last time we had an ovation for Dick Durock...and unfortunately the certificate was made out to "Dirk" Durock...well, there is only one Dirk I know involved with Battlestar Galactica and he sure ain't a Cylon! So to rectify that we re-present the certificate (please see below). In the meantime let us all talk about the current Hero and the person accorded the honor. She had a long and varied career on television, theater & as a playwrite and burst upon the BSG in her pivotal role as the spiritual adviser to President Laura Roslin. We salute Lorena Gale for her role as the Priestess Elosha! So Say We All! Shawn O'Donnell President Battlestar Galactica Fan Club 0 |

Ravens and Friends,
Battlestar Raven's next tentative convention appearance will be at Wizard World Con in Austin, Texas on November 22-24, 2013.

The Flying Tiger’s squadron has grown to 20 members since I was given command a little over a year ago. The maneuvers mission was planned for our new members to have some fun and see what our squadron does for kicks on a Saturday night.
As you read through the comments, those of you that have taken the Viper exam will see the maneuvers come right out of the Viper training manual. While we were have fun, we all got a refresher course it tactics.
The mission was performed in the Forum Chat area of the BFC and always starts off with quick briefing with my pilots. Take a look and see what you think, is this something you would like to do? If so, what are you waiting for?
Lt Reamer
Flying Tiger’s Squadron Leader
Main Room
- Me
“Attention” Flying Tiger’s “Attention”
Our new pilots have completed their simulator training. They are ready to climb into a Viper cockpit for the first time to complete their training and earn their wings. We will form into our individual flights first in Diamond formations and then Delta formations to perform precision flying maneuvers.
It’s very important for a Viper squadron to continue to hone its skills until we become as Admiral Cain put it, “Razors.” It has been said, there is safety in numbers. The Finger Four Formation flown by the Flying Tiger’s offers superior safety and fire power in combat as long as the formation sticks together.
We will practice until it becomes second nature as if we were one!!!
Any Questions?
Skids up in fifteen on the starboard flight deck.
