    USA != western countries

    今天是美国传统的感恩节~~~这是美国的传统节日~~时间定于每年11月的第4个星期四~
    但是请注意，这只是美国的感恩节，并不象很多国内报道的 西方的感恩节~~从文化和传统上说美国是很难代表西方的了。
    当然几个英语国家也有自己的thanksgiving day. 但是时间甚至是名字都不同。
     
    "in Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday in October. In the United Kingdom, Thanksgiving is another name for the Harvest festival, held in churches across the country on a relevant Sunday to mark the end of the local harvest, though it is not thought of as a major event (compared to Christmas or Easter) as it is in other parts of the world."  from Wikipedia

    Galactica

    Commander Adama's Battlestar. Present at Cimtar.

    Atlantia

    President Adar's Battlestar. Destroyed at Cimtar. First and last appearance in the pilot episode.

    Acropolis

    From background dialog in the pilot episode. Here is the first transcript from the home video version of the pilot (0:19:53):
    Apollo: Zac?
    Tigh: His ship was destroyed just short of the the fleet.
    Background: (female) Transferring target scanners to decks seven and eight.
    Background: (female) Battlestars Atlantia and Acropolis losing speed.
    Background: (male) Must regain speed three points to maintain position with Atlantia.
    Here is the second transcript from the home video version of the pilot (0:25:05):
    Adama: We're withdrawing. Flank speed for home.
    Background: (male) This is the Acropolis. We are on fire. Abandon ship. Request shuttles to...

    Triton and Pacifica

    From background dialog in the pilot episode. The Pacifica was also referenced in page 14 of The Battlestar Galactica Scrapbook, and the pilot novelization, Battlestar Galactica on page 11. The latter poses problems because it asserts that the Pacifica was destroyed prior to the peace conference. The Triton was also confirmed by New West from the costuming department. Here is the transcript from the home video version of the pilot (0:23:55):
    Tigh: That puts them well within the range of the planets Virgon, Sagitarra...
    Adama: and Caprica.
    Background: (male) Request damage reports from Battlestars Triton and Pacifica.
    Background: (female) No response from the Triton and Pacifica.

    Columbia

    According to Centurion Vulpa, it was destroyed at Cimtar. This, however, contradicts dialog from the pilot episode, which does not name the Columbia as one of the five Battlestars. Therefore, Vulpa is wrong. Here is the scene in "Gun on Ice Planet Zero - Part 1":

    Vulpa: What are the coordinates of the Battlestar Galactica.
    Cree: I'm from the Columbia.
    Vulpa: The Columbia was destroyed at the peace conference.
    Cree: Peace conference?

    Pegasus

    Commander Cain's Battlestar. Presumed lost at the battle of Molocay, it reappears and disappears again in "The Living Legend".

    Rycon

    Commander Kronos' Battlestar. Perished at the Battle of the Cosmara Archipelago, and mentioned in the episode "Take the Celestra".

    Solaria

    Referenced on page 14 of The Battlestar Galactica Scrapbook, and page 58 of the pilot novelizaton Battlestar Galactica. Both publications place the Solaria at Cimtar. This, however, contradicts dialog from the pilot episode, which does not name the Solaria as one of the five Battlestars. Therefore, the books are wrong. The name is also confirmed from costume department information.

    Cerberus

    Referenced on page 147 of the War of the Gods novelization by Nicolas Yermakov: The name is also confirmed by costume department information.
    I [Adama] was assigned to the Bronze Squadron of the Battlestar Cerberus. My wingmates were Lieutenant Cain, who would later command the Pegasus, and Lieutenant Apollo. Yahrens later, when my first son was born, I named him in honor of my friend.
    The Maximum Press comic Battlestar Galactica Special Edition #1, uses this passage from the novelization as the basis for its story.

    Bellerophon

    Referenced under the section "Tigh" in Encylopedia Galactica, as Bellerephon. It is also present in a list given to Robert Thurston. According to Thurston's list, Bellerophon is the correct spelling.

    Olympia and Valiant

    The Olympia is from Thurston's list, and is also referenced in the CWTM. According to Mager, a variant list has the Valiant in place of the Olympia.

    Promotheus, Argo and Poseidon

    Three more Battlestar names from the CWTM. The Prometheus was also confirmed from costume department information.
     
     
    The twelve human Colonies in space bore names that are easily recognizable on Earth... Caprica, Gemoni, Canceria, Piscon, Sagitara, Leo, Libra, Aquaria, Virgon, Aeriana, Taura, Scorpio -- all are similar to the names that Earth humans have given to the constellations visible in their night sky, the only twelve that the star appears to pass through during the span of a year
