Battlestar Galactica
Battlestar Galactica is an American science fiction media franchise created by Glen A. Larson. The franchise began with the original television series in 1978 and was followed by a short-run sequel series ("Galactica 1980"), a line of book adaptations, original novels, comic books, a board game, and video games. A re-imagined version of "Battlestar Galactica" aired as a two-part, three-hour miniseries developed by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick in 2003. That miniseries led to a weekly television series, which aired until 2009. A prequel series, "Caprica", aired in 2010. All "Battlestar Galactica" productions share the premise that in a distant part of the universe, a human civilization has extended to a group of planets known as the Twelve Colonies, to which they have migrated from their ancestral homeworld of Kobol.
Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)
Battlestar Galactica (BSG) is an American military science fiction television series, and part of the "Battlestar Galactica" franchise. The show was developed by Ronald D. Moore and executive produced by Moore and David Eick as a re-imagining of the 1978 "Battlestar Galactica" television series created by Glen A. Larson. The series first aired as a three-hour miniseries (comprising four broadcast hours) in December 2003 on the Sci-Fi Channel, and ran for four seasons thereafter, ending its run on March 20, 2009. The series features Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, and garnered a wide range of critical acclaim, which included a Peabody Award, the Television Critics Association's Program of the Year Award, a placement inside "Time"s 100 Best TV Shows of All-Time, and Emmy nominations for its writing, directing, costume design, visual effects, sound mixing, and sound editing, with Emmy wins for both visual effects and sound editing.
Battlestar Galactica (comics)
"Battlestar Galactica" has been adapted to the comic book format since its inception, with no less than six publishers to date taking on the project of relating the story of the Colonial Fleet and their adversaries, the Cylons, at different points. The comic book "Battlestar Galactica", based on the ABC television series of the same name, was published monthly by Marvel Comics from March 1979 through January 1981, and lasted 23 issues. Although there were other attempts to adapt "Battlestar Galactica" into a comic book format, the Marvel series is considered by many to have been the most successful in terms of run, sales, and content.
List of Battlestar Galactica video games
A number of video games have been released based on the various incarnations of the "Battlestar Galactica" franchise. Mattel-developed Space Battle for Intellivision and its M-Network counterpart, Space Attack for the Atari VCS/2600 platform, were originally stated to be games based on the Battlestar Galactica series. One of Mattel's subsidiaries, Concepts 2000, had the license to produce Battlestar Galactica electronic toys, so it was figured to be a lock that Mattel would get the license to produce the official Battlestar Galactica video game. The game was well into development when they discovered Mattel didn't get the license.
Music of Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)
The music of the 2004 TV series "Battlestar Galactica" is a body of work largely credited to the composers Bear McCreary and Richard Gibbs. The music of "Battlestar Galactica" displays a variety of ethnic influences and generally does not conform to the "orchestral" style of many science fiction scores. The music of "Battlestar Galactica" makes use of the technique called "leitmotif". A leitmotif is a phrase or melodic cell that signifies a character, place, plot element, mood, idea, relationship or other specific part of the story. It is commonly used in modern film scoring as a device to mentally anchor certain parts of a film to the soundtrack.

Ronald Dowl Moore (born July 5, 1964) is an American screenwriter and television producer. He is best known for his work on "Star Trek"; on the re-imagined "Battlestar Galactica" television series, for which he won a Peabody Award; and on "Outlander", based on the novels of Diana Gabaldon.

List of spacecraft in Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)
There have been many appearances of various spacecraft in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica science fiction television series, with the primary means of travel being FTL. A ship in the refugee fleet. Named after Adrasteia, in Greek Mythology, was a nymph who was charged by Rhea to raise the infant Zeus in secret to protect him from his father Cronus. The "Adriatic" is one of the few civilian ships in the refugee fleet equipped with weapons. The ship was armed with at least a battery of ship-to-ship missiles; the reason for its armament was to protect the fleet while the Galactica was off on missions (such as the attack on the tylium asteroid).
