Battlestar Galactica is one of the most well-known and most prolific science fiction franchises that keeps gaining fans even today. The novels, comic books, and video games that are currently being produced using the BGS moniker owe their existence to the original television series which was aired back in 1978. The story and characters that were introduced as part of that brief series have given life to a large and complex universe that continues to expand and add depth to the original tale. There have been many interesting changes and additions to the story of BGS through the years but it all came from the original concepts and characters that were created back in 1978.

The first set of characters was introduced by the 1978 show developed by Glen Larson; he was also behind the development of the 1980 sequel series. The basic ideas of the TV show's plot were that a race of humans from a distance galaxy were being attacked by the Cylons, a race of cybernetic creatures. The fans of the show were so dedicated and hence upset about its cancellation after just one season that some protested at the TV studio where the decision to cancel was made.

The following BGS series was produced from 2004 to 2009 after the successful airing of a three hour miniseries which was released to much praise in 2003. The series was updated and tweaked according to the ideas of the producers; this included some significant changes to certain characters from the original show. The characters' stories could be a lot more developed in this series because it lasted for several seasons.

Once the Battlestar Galactica series was finished in 2009, work began on spin off projects that would continue to expand on the characters and themes made popular in the TV show. An example is Caprica, a prequel series which continued for one season in 2010 and gave additional information about what happened before the first episode of BGS.

The Battlestar Galactica franchise has fans in all parts of the world who are eager to enjoy more adventures with the memorable characters of the series. One of the most recent additions to the BGS universe has been an online game that allows players to battle with the humans and the Cylons.
