Understanding The Main Battlestar Galactica Characters

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. The characters were first presented to fans back in the late 1970's when the original series was first released on TV. There are many more television series based on the characters now and they have discovered an international audience along with online games that include the same characters. Not a lot of television programs like Battlestar have been able to successfully crossover from the television screen to the world of video games but the popularity of this series has carried it. What are some of the key features of these video games and what makes them unique in the modern gaming world?

Humans have been permanently removed from their home planet by the Cylon in the main story of Battlestar Galactica; they must now search for a home amongst war. These two enemy factions comprise the main character sets for the online games that follow the concepts of the popular TV series. At the time you make your character you will be granted the option to play as a Human colonist or as a Cylon warrior. This decision is an important one because it will permanently affect the way you control your character, the types of weapons and vehicles you will be able to use, and the specific skills that your character will be able to develop.

Most of the fights in your Battlestar Galactica game will pit you against either the Humans or the Cylon, depending on which side you have chosen to go with. Therefore you will usually find yourself fighting against your enemy faction but at times against other space creatures. Certain battles take place on planets or ships with handheld weapons while others engage you in dogfights while piloting spacecraft.

Due to the fact that the BG game programmers have chosen to make their game in an online multiplayer style, there are also many social elements to the game. Since 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.

Gamers can familiarize themselves with the characters of Battlestar Galactica in an entirely new way thanks to video game developers. You have many options during the game, including the controversial early one of whether to play as Cylon or Human.
