Battlestar Galatica: Three Decades Old And Still Going Strong

By Martha Z. Wilkerson


Battlestar Galatica has offered fans many different forms of entertainment for many years, such as games and a variety of series that have been released over the last three decades. Now, in addition to narratives, comic books, and board games, comes an exciting online version sure to excite die-hard fans. This game has just the right mixture needed of both old and new ideas to create an excellent masterpiece. Any participant logging on to Battlestar Galactica Online now will aide in the quest for planet Earth, the thirteenth colony that no human is even sure exists.

The game continues the Clyon and human warfare from the original storyline, in their attempt to destroy the other. Several space crafts and important characters have remained unchanged as well the many that have been changed and newly introduced for the persistence of the story. Players can choose which side to engage- assist the human population by piloting a Colonial Viper or help eradicate them by becoming a Cylon supporter. Players advance as they progress across multiple star systems within the Milky Way on the way to their objective, which is the destruction or preservation of the planet Earth.

Battlestar Galactica Online is a massive multiplayer online game capable of supporting thousands of players at once. A couple previews jam-packed with scenes to this exciting new game can be accessed on the website. Pilots of the Raptors and Viper MkII's are just as significant as Admiral Adama, Apollo, and Starbuck. 'Chief' Tyrol is yet another personality that has transcended the generations and is best known for the care of the safety of his crew members.

Even though humans brought life to the Clyons, they have been at war with them for over forty years. Their missions are not completed until all humans are rescinded. They use certain planes, such as the Marauders or Heavy Raiders, and utilize the best disciples, Six for example, to use any armament at their disposal to complete their missions. Few ships like the Battlestar are all that remain after Six seduced her way into the internal destruction of the Twelve Colonies by the treasonous Baltar.

Vivid images and shots of explosions and space crafts are posted on the website for interested players to see. Players may come and go as they please in this persistent world to pick up where they logged off at. Players from across the nations must come together to preserve their teams; each side has been hurt so deeply that they are barely operating- it is up to each individual to pull their weight in repairing the ships while warding off other hazards, before they're shot if the other side repairs first. Battlestar Galactica is an excellent MMO game for its honor to the original plot yet unique spin that is already beaming up fanatics world-wide.
