Expanding The World Of Battlestar Galactica Characters

By Willard Y. Wuckert


People around the world have embraced the characters, worlds, and stories of the Battlestar Galactica franchise. The novels, comic books, and video games that are now being produced under the BGS moniker owe their existence to the original television series which was aired back in 1978. The story that was first presented in that series has been re-imagined, adapted, and extended in many ways over the years in order to appease fans who are always hungry for more. Some of the characters have been through more changes than others as the franchise has been altered during the years, but the core concepts of the original story have been preserved and cherished throughout BGS history.

Battlestar Galactica began in 1978 as a television series that was made by Glen Larson and was later followed by a 1980 sequel series that continued the roles of a few characters from the original. The story follows a small group of humans who are attempting to avoid destruction by the powerful and unyielding Cylon race. Although the show was cancelled after just one season, it earned a cult following amongst many fans who even protested the cancellation outside of the television studio that broadcasted the show.

A new version of the original television series was made starting in 2003 with a three hour miniseries and continuing as a weekly show from 2004 to 2009. The series was updated and adjusted to fit to the ideas of the producers; this included some significant changes to certain characters from the original show. Since it continued for several seasons, the creators were able to spend more time developing story arcs for individual characters and for the series as a whole.

Once the Battlestar Galactica series ended in 2009, work began on spin off projects that would continue to expand on the characters and themes made popular in the TV show. An example is Caprica, a prequel series which continued for one season in 2010 and offered additional information about what happened before the first episode of BGS.

Fans of the Battlestar Galactica series continue to enjoy all of the different adaptations of these characters stories that they can find. Video game fans who also appreciate the series can enjoy online games that enable you to interact with the popular characters while enjoying a well-designed MMO game.
