BEHIND THE SCENES: THE ARTISANS OF 'GALACTICA'!

Bringing the same kind of high quality model making and filming to the Galactica saga as they did to the launch film of the Star Wars franchise, producer John Dykstra and colleague Doug Smith look to a specific section of the detailed Battlestar model, for a great posed publicity image linked to Saga of a Star World.

CLASSIC IMAGE: COMPUTER 'SELECTION'!

Deep in the computer centre heart of the Galactica, Starbuck sneakily adds his name on to the important rosta of Colonial Warriors being sent on the Arcta expedition, using the latest female Viper pilot recruits to capture the attention of technician Corporal Komma (Jeff MacKay), in an additional scene added onto the opening episode subplot to The Gun on Ice Planet Zero.

CLASSIC IMAGE: THE FLEET ASSEMBLED!

The mighty force of Battlestars comprising the legendary protectorate Colonial Fleet now face the prospect of peace as they assemble as part of a peace envoy to the Cylons, in this great composite shot that was never shown in the series pilot episode, likely created for publicity/merchandise purposes, as seen here with this classic Topps Card from 1978.

CLASSIC IMAGE: IN MYSTERIOUS COMPANY...

With Apollo captured by the authorities as a traitor, the mysterious light beings liaison 'John' has no choice but to recruit Starbuck to come to his friend's aid and critically help in rescuing the humans of the planet Terra from nuclear destruction, during the near finale events of the whimsical adventure, Experiment in Terra.

CLASSIC MERCHANDISE: FLY YOUR OWN RAIDER!

The Cylon Raiders' powerful and threatening frame, impressively designed by Joe Johnston and Ralph McQuarrie. made it perfect for toy vehicle merchandising in ways that all young American series fans wanted, of which this Mattel radio control vehicle form was surely a must-have back in the day.
