Getting To Know The Main Battlestar Galactica Characters

By Cathy E. Dach


The science fiction characters and stories of Battlestar Galactica have been very popular for many years and have spanned television, video games, and novels. The characters were first introduced to fans back in the late 1970's when the original series was first released on TV. There are many more television series based on the characters now and they have found an international audience along with online games that include the same characters. Not a lot of television programs such as Battlestar have been able to successfully crossover from the television screen to the world of video games but the popularity of this series has carried it. What are some of the traits of these characters and how will you deal with both friends and foes while playing a BG game?

Battlestar Galactica displays the adventures of a tiny group of Humans who are forced from their home planet by the robotic Cylon creatures and have to search for a new home. The BG game follows this concept with a design that separates players and computer characters into one of these two factions. When you make a character, you will be asked whether you wish to work along with the humans or prefer to join forces with the Cylon. This decision is a big one since it will permanently affect the way you control your character, the types of weapons and vehicles you will be able to use, and the specific skills that your character will be able to develop.

Although they have some common enemies, the Humans and Cylons of Battlestar Galactica are in direct conflict with one another. Hence you will normally find yourself fighting against your enemy faction but at times against other space creatures. Certain battles take place on planets or ships with handheld weapons while others engage you in dogfights while piloting spacecraft.

Because the BG game designers have chosen to make their game in an online multiplayer style, there are also many social elements to the game. You will discover many enemies in the game that you cannot beat on your own so be sure to team with other players and form alliances with them in order to strengthen your character.

Battlestar Galactica currently enjoys a substantial fan base around the world but now it is also able to reach out to gamers. You can get into the war as either Human or Cyclon in an exciting and social online game based around BG.
