BEHIND THE SCENES: FLEET INSPECTION!

A great side angles look at the primary Rag-Tag fleet models used in the pilot/series filming, including the Colonial Movers vehicle, the prison barge, the later-named Celestra, a three-tier fuel processing ship (seen approaching Carillon in the pilot episode) and another unknown vessel. 

CLASSIC IMAGE: READY FOR ACTION!

She's already a top-class Shuttle pilot, now Athena will go on to become a badass, super-hot Viper pilot. But first she has to conquer the heavy-duty flight simulator training, in this memorable moment from Lost Planet of the Gods part one.

CLASSIC ART: COLONIAL SCARAB READY TO ATTACK!

Though not seen in the original series, the Colonial Scarab vehicle/launcher toy was nonetheless a big success within the colourful toy range created by Mattel during 1978, and was surely well used by young fans indulging in imaginative and heroic battles against the Cylons. 

Lovely toy box art from regular Mattel toy artist contributor Otto Kuhni.

DEATH SQUADRON ATTACK!

The surprise-attacked Colonial Fleet continues to take an incredible battering from the Cylon Raider assault fleet, most notably the Battlestar Atlantia, as fires rage out of control in and out of the flagship vessel...

A striking visual moment, one of so many, from Saga of a Star World...

CLASSIC IMAGE: "BARMAN?"

Working alongside Councillor Siress Tinia was a struggle enough during the events of Baltar's Escape, now Colonel Tigh really needs a drink when he sees her arm-in-arm with a gallant Commander Adama, in a great comedic closing moment to the episode that showcases Terry Carter's subtle flair for comedy within his normally stern role onscreen.
