United Colonies of Kobol | Battlestar Galactica 

DO ONE ON NEO ZEON!

More 40k pls. Thanks.

make a video of the principality of belka

+Antonio NO THE PRINCIPALITY OF ZEON NEXT!

hell no Principality Of Belka

It's a great show but it's dogged in politics and religious goings on that in the end answer absolutely no questions.

oh this doesn't even do justice to how dark it was.

Romulus Numa I warning you, after mid season 3 the series becomes a shitshow of religious bullshit and retarded plots that go nowhere, and the series finale is as bad as the one from Lost.

SpockBorg5 what are you talking about? The original series was a shameful Star Wars clone mixed with LDS bullcrap.

I'm guessing you mean Ralph McQuarrie? aka the guy who created the look and feel that Lucas needed for Star Wars, since he was hired to create the base designs for the original BSG. They hired him because he had just had his falling out with Lucas and hence was free. Glen A. Larson, the actual creator of BSG, while he claims to have created the "Wagon Train to the stars" type of story since he claims Gene Roddenberry stole his pitch for Star Trek (claims that the pitch doc for BSG was meant to have been written in the late 50's/early 60's). While the truth of that claim is up in the air, what was clear is that Larson wanted to mix his Mormon beliefs into the creation of a project that was set in space. Mormonism and BSG was interlinked from the very first episode. Hell, they outright had the crew battle Satan while working with space angels (City of/Ship of Light). So religion has always been at the core of the series, regardless of which version.

My dog punched me out of the universe

Mmhmmm

Thank you! I've been waiting for someone to mention this.

I didn't notice this till I read your post, but yes, VERY COOL! 😆😀☺

So say we all!

Still cutting them ;-)

It is not just the corners that are cut in aesthetics befitting the legacy of the Twelve Colonies, the entire presentation is designed to mimic a holoband ( Like the ones used in pilot training BSG BLOOD AND CHROME) SO SAY WE ALL!! Quoted after Adm./Cmdr. William "Husker" Adama last Commanding Officer Battlestar Strike Group 75 Capital ship "GALACTICA"

Same

I think the entire series is up on Hulu. It's a fantastic show

The reimagined series was just fraking awesome. Some of the Cylons were really hot!

The remake is really amazing tbh

the remake is just GARBAGE! The Original IS Battlestar Galactica!

chancellorjake and the moment you get to know their motivations... It gets much worse/petty

Remember the term toaster is racist

@@brianlindee588 Racist, or Specist? The Cylons aren't humans, even though they look like us.

@Maria Kelly OK. Fraking, Toasters!

They are still out there and I wonder how their Evolution panned out

Though the 12 colonies orbited 4 different stars, they're referred to as 'Cyrannus' as a whole. It's unknown if each star is its own solar system or if it's just one system with four stars. I believe the latter is the most widely accepted one, though.

Sultan it is, there was a official cannon map made by QMx that shows each in detail.

I love the map but still four ultra-habitable systems orbiting each other seems a little bit far-fetched.

That's the Fiction in Science Fiction, it's actually way more probable than inventing Artificial Gravity which is a fantastical concept at best . Watch the whole series to the end and then we can talk about Far-Fetched aspects of the series lol

+Matt Mercer I'm sure it's possible. There are million of stars out there.

If Kobol was a controlled experiment then it's plausible.

@@mattmercer8269 Can you please elaborate?

@@mattmercer8269 it isn't

@@yazanmowed i think, from what i can gather, as the saying in the show goes, "this story will happen time and time again. To some, it is beleived that the two Battlestar galactica shows are, in fact, not a reboot, but the same story. essentially, it happens over, and over again. Same names, but different people. Everytime Humanity advances, they create cylons, which rebel, destroy, causing humanity to restart on a new world. This could be a controlled experiment by the original Cylons to see how Humanity changes over time, as Cylons are always present no matter how many times the process repeats

It kinda said in a show that some higher entities, let's call them God and angels, are giving humanity opportunity to evolve time and time again... but each time Humanity destroys itself, mostly - in wars with enslaved AIs.

She has the perfect voice for this. Excellent tone and pitch.

Reminds me of the First Officer Cadet on the Valiant in DS9's episode 'Valiant'. A great authoritative voice.

Agreed

Thank ya kindly!

Dude... the true Sith Empire as Kreia described, was not that bullshit from TOR. We never got to see that empire as Obsidian envisioned it. It exists only in our imaginations.

Kreia was a traitor to the Jedi as well as a traitor to the Sith, I doubt she would have painted an objective picture of either the light or the dark side of the force even though it would have been interesting to follow her life as both as she was in some ways, similar to Revan. I would have loved to see a movie or a series of the Golden Age of the Sith under Marka Ragnos, Ludo Kressh, and Naga Sadow. Now those were true Sith! The original merging of the Dark Jedi after the Great Schism and the Sith species on Korriban. But nobody seems interested. Most want modern Rule of Two Sith like Palpatine and Vader, and are not interested in some of the more meaningful characters like Darth Marr, Darth Thanaton, or Darth Cognis (later Darth Nox). Look on RU-vid for the life of Darth Bane, it is an audiobook and actually a very good one.

Yes. GDI please!

GDI would be nice indeed :)

S31Syntax fun fact. Homeworld originally was gonna be a classic bsg game

@@yamiblade Actually really glad it wasn't. The same game but with the skin of the original BSG would have ruined it a bit imo.

Nothing but the rain.

Nothin' but the rain.

Lord Nox Boom, Boom, Boom!

@@SapphireCrusader1988 Then grab you gun and bring the cat in!

Do you have any sources confirming this? For what I know, we have no clues regarding the strenght of the cylon fleet. It could have been hundred of baseships and endless fighters. Even without the virus, their attack would have packed a serious punch on the colonial defenses.

@@Stephen64138 The Battlestar Galactica Miniseries episode Night 1 stated that the Colonial Fleet boasted over 120 Battlestars and an unknown (but probably far greater) number of support ships, and during the battle of New Caprica later in the show one antiquated Battlestar that was being decommissioned at the start of the show, operating with a skeleton crew and no Viper support could hold off 2 fresh, fully armed and escorted Basestars with relative ease. It wasn't even in trouble until they were outflanked, surrounded and later overwhelmed by 4 Basestars. And even then it survived. 120 modern fully armed, properly crewed and escorted Battlestars with a full complement of Vipers would have completely obliterated the Cylon fleet in a straight up engagement. Sure, a few might've been lost but it would still have been a crushing and fatal defeat for the Cylons. Baltar's CNP backdoor virus was the lynchpin of their attack.

@@akiramasashi9317 Ok... I'm sorry but we will have to disagree on this. First of, during the miniserie, the Galactica did not hold off ''with relative ease'' against the cylons. It ran away from every engagements after few minutes of combat. Without being able to strike back directly at the enemy. They were nearly constantly on the defensive and the run during the show. In fact, the colonials in the show (up to mid season 3 when it got a little bit far fetched and really ''tv ish'') attacks the cyclons directly only 4 times that I know of at the moment (Cylon relay in Razor, Tylium refinery, Resurrection ship and Rescue on New Caprica). And even if we can count all these attacks as victories, they suffered heavy losses all the time. The Resurrection Ship battle is the most relevant example of a direct confrontation on equal grounds. 2 Battlestars vs 2 Baseships. And we know only for sure that they managed (not with ease) to destroy one baseship. I know there's some sources out there saying that the cylons are not match for the colonials and that 1 viper is worth 100 cylon raiders but allow me to laugh at this. It happens in all TV shows. At first, the ennemy is shown as super strong and it takes insane efforts to bring him down, and 2 season later they just die like flies to make more views and raise the hype. But this is crap and ridiculous. During the miniserie, Lee and Starbuck have a hard time against the cylons raiders. And later on, it's barely if they are a treat whatsoever. This is television... ^^ The cylon Baseships are designed to match the battlestars. And the battlestars are made (theoretically) to match their cylon's counterparts. And we know that the cylons have a lot of them. Also, even without the virus, you seem to forget that the cylons have infiltrated the colonial society at multiple levels. They know where are the colonies, how they work, what are their weeknesses, what to strike etc. They could have, even without the virus, launch the war, jumped into orbit, launched their missiles and jumped back. Even if 90% of the missiles had been intercepted, the colonies would have suffered tens if not perhaps hundreds of millions of deaths. In the first day. Moral would be down to the ground and that would have only be the start. And the cylons could have striked again any time while the colonials pretty much unable to strike back. (REMEMBER THAT THE CYLONS SHIPS CAN JUMP MUCH FARTHER THAN THE HUMAN ONES). This theoretical war could have last years or decades and left the colonies in a state of utter devastation. Yes, the colonials may have won this war. Humans are resourceful and with more ships, officers like Cain, a good leadership and some tech gap filler along the way to match the cylons on strategic level, the colonials may have won. But to say that it would have been easy, sorry but it's the same thing as people who say to me that the U.S. could defeat Russia easily... Nope. Not easily.

@@Stephen64138 We'll just have to agree to disagree. The reason the Colonials ran in almost every engagement is because they initially only had 1 real warship and their objective was to find Earth, not to battle the Cylons, and any damage done to Galactica or later to Pegasus would have been irreparable without drydocks and infrastructure. Adama knew this and only fought the absolute bare minimum of necessary battles. Pegasus had the facilities to produce new Vipers and train new pilots but fixing Battlestars and replacing personnel on those takes a lot more. During The Battle of the Resurrection Ship the Pegasus and Galactica purposefully didn't come in guns blazing since they had to take out the Resurrection Ship's FTL first with the Stealth Viper. During the New Caprica battle the Pegasus' forward guns cut through a Basestar in one volley, and Galactica survived a minutes long pounding from 4 ships. If Lee Adama wasn't such a worthless commander he could have destroyed all 4 Basestars in short order, but he came into the battle fully committed to sacrificing his ship. And yes, colonial society was infiltrated at multiple levels, but all of those were with the sole purpose of finding a weakness in the Colonial defenses, which the CNP backdoor virus became, and they'd still be stuck on the Colonies. And I seriously doubt the Cylons could just jump in, do their thing and jump out again. It takes time to prime nukes and to charge up their FTL again, even if they could jump further. Maybe if they suicide crashed into the planets themselves they could do some serious damage but otherwise planetary defenses would intercept everything. Even *IF* a handful of nukes actually landed and destroyed a couple of cities on less defended words it would just stoke the Colonials' fury even further. They produced 120+ capital ships in peacetime, with older model ships being decommissioned to serve as Museums. With a war economy and thirst for vengeance they would utterly overwhelm the Cylons. Just how many ships could the Colonial Navy bring out of Mothballs on short notice if even the legendary Galactica was being decommissioned? How many more would be built in the months that followed? Even if the Cylon Colony was never found every Cylon battlegroup would be outnumbered and outgunned. The roles would essentially be reversed, with Cylons running halfway across the universe. Humanity managed to win during the 1st Cylon War when they were outnumbered and outgunned and were hit with a surprise rebellion from within. They only had a small handful of Battlestars to defend 12 worlds with back then. With the Colonies fully armed and defended against an outside threat with *120* Battlestars the Cylon attack would have been completely eradicated and the vast bulk if not the entirety of their military would've been lost in one fell swoop. It would not only be easy for the colonials, it would have been an overwhelming, crushing victory.

Sultan mother fracking Right

...welp, we're toast.

gives a whole new meaning to "the brave little toaster".....

Gianni Pinotto I make my toast and unplug them as soon as I’m done

Toaster Lives Matter

Yeaaaaaah and does skinjobs to

Nanomachines Son! More like space Greeks with a dash of Jeasus

OMG....

It was Rome.

So Space Romans

Space Mormons

Yes please

I don't think enough is known about that, for such an episode.

Sanjo The Mango I would love that

Mari McGee heh I was just about to comment this.

That would be great. But I'm more interested to see how much hate it would get from Warhammer 40k fans.

The Daelaam imho would make a better video

I know this is a year later but I just finished re watching the series. In BSG there are a few episodes that flash back to some of the survivors lives before the attack, there’s one episode in season four that takes place almost entirely on Caprica before the fall

That was the serie "Caprica". Only 2 seassons, sadly. Regards

As side note, how much I liked twist it didn't really make sense in case of Kobol symbolism. It isn't a secret that Colonies were inspired by Zodiac, what was obvious hint toward localization of Earth. Except it was different Earth...
