New Home for BattlestarCallisto.net
October 01, 2004 by Webmaster
The Battlestar Callisto has a brand-new home. Major Brie of Gold Squadron reports: "Welcome to the new home of the Battlestar Callisto RPG! If you haven't done so already, please take a moment and visit our website at BattlestarCallisto.net. Started back in 1998 as Gold Squadron, we were originally an offshoot of the now-defunct International Battlestar Galactica Fan Club. We grew quickly and became the Battlestar Callisto. Black Squadron was added six months later. In 2001 we switched our main function from the revival to RPG, and we've been doing this ever since. We'd love for you to become a member. Thanks to LucianG for moving the current storyline here. If you'd like to see what was happening earlier take a peek at the SciFi.com BBoard. To officially join the Callisto contact
BattlestarCallisto@hotmail.com. I'd also like to welcome all the current Callisto members to our new home. With SciFi.com shutting down our old board without warning, I'm sure some people have slipped through the cracks. If you know of anyone who hasn't yet registered please let them know where they can find us. If you register and you are not sent a temporary password please notify the administrator immediately. Special thanks to Captain Hawke for setting this up for us, although it's not going to get Hawke out of trouble! Let's continue to make the Battlestar Callisto the pride of the Colonial Fleet!"

Detailed Report of July San Diego Comic-Con
October 01, 2004 by Webmaster
Battlestar Galactica fan Artemis posted a detailed report of the July San Diego Comic-Con that featured Richard "Apollo" Hatch, Stargate SG-1/Atlantas, and Farscape. Here is an excerpt from Artemis' report: "Richard Hatch was given 1.5 hours on Friday at Comic-con during which he presented The Great War of Magellan (GWoM) trailer and The Second Coming trailer. The GWoM trailer was great, he only showed his shorter version, 4 minutes. The artist for the GWoM comic was a couple seats from me and spent the entire time sketching, it was amazing watching a talented artist work, especially since I can't draw a thing. He also showed The Second Coming trailer which was longer than the one I saw many years ago. For those of you who haven't seen it, I'm sorry, your missing out on what you have wanted Battlestar Galactica to become. He spent much of the time answering questions and the other hot topic is his upcoming role on Battlestar Galactica 04. He had previously refused to do a cameo role on the show because he refuses to do cameos on anything but he told RDM that if he wrote a character he found interesting to play as an actor he would do it and RDM did write a character he wanted to play. He was nervous about meeting the crew in Canada considering all the hate mail they got because of him and was surprised by the warm welcome they all gave him. Jamie Bamber explained to Richard that he considered himself to be Lee Adama and that Richard was and would always be Apollo."

Colonial Fan Force in Your Hands Now
October 01, 2004 by Webmaster
New announcement from Commander Taggart of ColonialFanForce.org: "The future is in the hands of all fandom. I will say this, however: if any of us sits back and says to himself 'I've already done enough, let someone else write,' then we will fail to make an impact. If any of us says 'I just don't have the time, someone else will write,' then we will fail to make an impact. It really is up to you. The ads are going to make more people than ever before aware of our effort, and, God willing, it will drive a lot of traffic to the Colonial Fan Force site, where the plan will be outlined. The opportunity we will have to demonstrate our numbers will be unprecedented. September is nearly here. The culmination of all of our efforts is upon us. One of two things is going to happen: we, as a fan base, are going to shock Hollywood with a larger show of support for TOS than they ever expected; or we are going to confirm in their minds that at our best, we are but a mere handful. I want to thank everyone who has played a part in making the Colonial Fan Force a success over the course of the past year, either by contributing money, or by contributing talent, ideas, and time. Here's hoping this fan base has enough chutzpah left to make this 'last hurrah' one that will echo through the cinema ticket windows of the world." Many thanks to Commander Taggart for the very well-written announcement. This is only an excerpt, so for the complete announcement be sure to visit the following link at the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums.
