The Creatures Fought In Battlestar Galactica

By Cathy E. Dach


Battlestar Galactica is a long running science fiction franchise that includes lots of different things including several television shows, many novels, and even video games. Television viewers were the first to be introduced to the characters that drive the plot of BG when the original series of that name was broadcasted in the 1970's. There are many more television series based around the characters now and they have found an international audience along with online games that include the same characters. The fact that BG has had a chance to get into the gaming world is particularly interesting; game designers have included the majority of the key characters and creatures that are already familiar to fans of the series. What are some of the ways in which the game makers have been able to port characters and creatures into the games?

Humans have been permanently removed from their home world by the Cylon in the main story of Battlestar Galactica; they must now search for a home amongst war. 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. Remember that the faction you go with will have a direct impact on the way your character develops skills, the weapons you will gain access to, and the parts of the gaming world that you will be able to visit safely.

Although they have some common enemies, the Humans and Cylons of Battlestar Galactica are in direct conflict with one another. Sometimes you will encounter other enemies that are common threats to both factions. You may need to fight some battles in space using your faction's fighter ships while other battles will take place on the ground using your character's abilities and items.

Internet games based on the BG characters and stories permit for a lot of social interaction so be sure to take advantage of these game features. You may have developed a strong character, but that does not mean that you can go it alone in this game; teaming up with other players is essential during many key battles.

Battlestar Galactica video games give fans of this serial franchise a new manner of enjoying the series. You have many options throughout the game, including the controversial early one of whether to play as Cylon or Human.
