Friends And Enemies In Battlestar Galactica

By Cathy E. Dach


There are books, comics, video games, and naturally, television shows, based around the original storylines and characters of Battlestar Galactica. The first television series that made the characters and core plot lines so popular amongst hardcore sci-fi fans was released in the 1970's. From that time, its popularity has only grown and now it has found an international audience thanks to its most recent television programs and online games. The fact that BG has been able 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?

The main storyline of Battlestar Galactica is about human colonists who have been forced to leave their planet because of a war with the robotic and evil Cylons. These two enemy factions comprise the main character sets for the online games that follow the concepts of the popular TV series. When you make your character you will be granted the option to play as a Human colonist or as a Cylon warrior. Do not forget 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.

Even though they share some common enemies, the Humans and Cylons of Battlestar Galactica are in direct conflict with one another. Therefore you will usually find yourself fighting against your enemy faction but at times against other space creatures. 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.

Due to the fact that the BG game designers have chosen to make their game in an online multiplayer style, there are also many social elements to the game. Because you have to work along with other members of your faction you will often find that teaming up with other players is the best way to advance through the game.

Battlestar Galactica already enjoys a considerable fan base around the world but now it is also able to reach out to gamers. Being given the option to play as either Human or Cylon grants you an interesting choice in the game from the very start.
