CLASSIC IMAGE: THE COLONIAL EXODUS BEGINS...

From every corner of the destroyed Twelve Colonies they'd come, all carrying the last remnants of humanity to be protected by the mighty shepherd warship that is the Battlestar Galactica. A great effects shot showing the beginnings of the rag-tag fleet from Saga of a Star World.

CLASSIC IMAGE: IN ALLIANCE CONTROL!

Those vicious space Nazis, the Eastern Alliance, and their sneery leader Commandant Leiter, have taken control of the Prison Barge environs to which they were once captive, thanks to the assistance of Baltar and the formidable Borellian Noman. Things certainly won't be great for the soon arriving Colonial warriors Sheba and Boomer, in this ominous moment from the memorable Baltar's Escape.

CLASSIC IMAGE: AN ALTERNATE FLEET!

 

Not something seen in the original Saga of a Star World, but a fun composite image of some kind of Colonial Fleet, and with two mighty Battlestar protectors no less, presumably put together by the Apogee team, and used for publicity and merchandisers (namely for puzzles) of 1978.

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: THE SPACE PRISON!

Originally one of the generic ships shown in the Galactica's Rag-Tag fleet, this vessel soon became the ominous Prison Barge holding the remaining scum and villainy of humanity for later episodes of the weekly series.
