CLASSIC IMAGE: CONVERGED TO ATTACK!

The newly-arrived Cylon Raider force from Borallus now assembles to seemingly surprise attack the lone Galactica with all the destructive might at its disposal, in a memorable effects shot from Saga of a Star World.

CLASSIC IMAGE: A STAR AMONGST STAR PATTERNS!

Adding some extra zest to being on the Galactica bridge, the gorgeous Cassiopeia helps us find our way across the heavens searching for Earth, in another glorious image making the most of Laurette Spang's beauty. An image captured during filming of Saga of a Star World.

HAPPY 46TH BIRTHDAY, 'BATTLESTAR GALACTICA'!

Adama, Apollo, Starbuck. The three classic heroes forming what viewers will discover, and thrill to, as part of the unique Battlestar Galactica, assemble in this great cover art by David Edward Byrd that was specially commissioned for the US TV Guide magazine back in September 1978. I'm sure it garnered a lot of American viewer attention heralding the series then eagerly-awaited debut.

The quest for Earth continues to delight fans old and new, of which our classic characters, heroes and villains, endure brightly for another special celebration day! 

CLASSIC IMAGE: HAVE SPACESHIP WILL TRAVEL...

That criminal descendant Robber's spaceship isn't the most attractive vehicle to escape a penal colony in, but the battered freighter soon proves worthy enough for the task. And even more so when poor Starbuck is forced to use it when his own sleek recon Viper is stolen. An interesting image of the full-size prop craft on the Universal outdoor backlot, during filming of The Long Patrol. 

BEHIND THE SCENES: THE HEROES AND VILLAINS OF 'ICE PLANET ZERO'

In the company of Cylons!

Here's a nice little addition to the exhaustive coverage we gave to the original version of The Gun on Ice Planet Zero last year, a selection of images that have surfaced online of some of the main cast members taken outside one of the main Galactica filming soundstages at Universal Studios back in mid-1978, some of which sadly never appeared in promotional coverage. There's probably even more images like this out there waiting to be discovered.
