What is the 13th colony on battlestar galactica?
In the television series "Battlestar Galactica," the thirteenth colony is called "Earth." However, it is revealed later in the series that Earth was not the thirteenth colony of the Twelve Colonies but rather a distant planet that the survivors of the Twelve Colonies were searching for as a new home.
What was the name of the mechanical bear on Battlestar Galactica?
The mechanical bear on Battlestar Galactica is named "Cylon" and is featured in the original 1978 TV series as a robotic bear that serves as a companion to Boxey.
What sci-fi series should you watch next if you liked Battlestar Galactica and stargate sg1?
You might enjoy "The Expanse." It has a similar blend of political drama, space battles, and complex characters as Battlestar Galactica, along with a focus on the exploration of space. Additionally, "Farscape" could be a good choice, as it offers a mix of humor, adventure, and diverse alien races like Stargate SG1.
Why do they say frak in battlestar galactica?
We can assume that, as it follows citizens from the twelve colonies of humanity who haven't lived on Earth, (despite bearing striking similarities to us in other ways) the word "frak" is their own version of our similar profanity, "f**k".
It is also derived from the original Battlestar Galactica, where the word "frack" was used as a substitute for "darn" or "s**t, mostly to comply with broadcast decency standards at the time.
Hope that answered your question :)
Who created Battlestar Galactica?

What happened at the end of battlestar galactica?
At the end of Battlestar Galactica, it is revealed that the main characters find a habitable planet to settle on and begin a new civilization. The show ends with them starting fresh and moving on from their past struggles.
How many survivors are left at the end of battlestar galactica?
Admiral Adama estimates at the end of Daybreak Pt. III that there are approximately 38,000 human survivors that reach "Earth." This is a rough estimate considering that an unstated number die in the attack on the Colony.
The answer requires a little background. First, there were really two "Earths". The first Earth was mentioned in the mythology of the 12 Colonies. While the 12 colonies left the planet Kobol to settle the 12 planets (Caprica, Geminon, etc.), "Earth" was the destination of the 13th "Lost" colony. It was this "Earth" that the people of Battlestar Galactica found, but unfortunately, the inhabitants of this Earth had a catastrophic nuclear war that completely devastated the planet.
Fortunately, the location of a different Earth was known by a Starbuck's father. While several good explanations as to why he knew this information have been put forward, regardless he taught the FTL coordinates to Starbuck in the form of a melody. In the final episode, when instructed by Adama to enter coordinates for a "blind" FTL jump, Starbuck entered the mathematical equivalent of the notes of the melody. The resulting jump put them close to a planet already inhabited with primitive humans (as it turns out, our own primitive ancestors). Adama names this unknown planet Earth.
What does ftl stand for in Battlestar Galactica?
FTL in almost any sci-fi setting stand for Faster Than Light. This typically refers to either travel (IE warp drive, hyperspace, space folding) or communication (IE subspace transmission). FTL is also commonly referred to as hyper-luminous or superluminal travel or communication.
In BattleStar Galactica they "spin up the FTL drive" as a form of charging or preparing the Faster Than Light travel capability of their ships. Although this process is never explained in detail, it is assumed that the FTL drives in BattleStar Galactica operate on a function of folding space to achieve FTL travel.
Is Battlestar Galactica action placed in the past or in the future?
The RDM version is clearly based in our past. Near the end of final episode there is a caption on the screen that reads "!50, 000 Years Later" and we zoom into Times Square in New York City.

Who are the cylons in battlestar galactica?
With two different versions of Battlestar Galactica - the 1978-80 version created by Glen Larson and the 2003-8 version created by Ronald Moore - there are two different types of Cylons. In the 1978-80 version the Cylons are a race of fully-evolved saurian beings who allowed themselves to be overcome by their own technology (in the episode "War Of The Gods" it is strongly inferred that the mysterious Count Iblis had a hand in this; subsequent stories in comic book adaptations in the 1990s fully explored Iblis' role in the creation of the Cylons) and were transmuted from living beings to armored cybernauts, led by Imperious Leader, a machine being swathed in the reptilian husk of his previous incarnation as a living being.
There are civilian Cylons who control the empire's far-flung worlds (viewed briefly in the episode "The Living Legend") and the warrior class of armored knights sporting red eye scanners. They are commanded by the IL series of sentient computer beings; Lucifer, the second-in-command of Baltar (played by John Colicos in the 1978-80 series and revived for the 1999 promotional film), is the best-known of Cylon ILs.
The 2003-8 version features the Cylons as a race of machines created by humans who rebelled and then took over technology to create organic clones. Overall, there are 12 Cylon "human-like" models, although some people have predicted that when Earth is found in the fourth and final season, a 13th Cylon will be revealed, echoing the theme of the Thirteen Human Colonies, Earth being the 13th planet.
Taken from Wikipedia: "Cylon society is made up of the seven known, mass-produced humanoid models. For a yet unrevealed reason, the final five Cylons are completely unknown to both the humans and the Cylons, and Cylons are forbidden from trying to discover their identities."
Although "forbidden", one story line involves a Number Three (D'Anna, played by Lucy Lawless) killing herself trying to meet and communicate with the "Final Five". By the end of Season 3, all but the last of the unknown "final five" Cylons are revealed, leaving 11 known and one left as a mystery from her "between death" explorations. It is assumed this last unknown Cylon will be the "Number One" - the use of numbers in relation to the Patrick McGoohan series "The Prisoner" has been discussed at length, where "Number One" is never revealed.
In the first episodes, we learn that Gaius Baltar's lover Caprica is a "Number Six", played by Tricia Helfer; Lucy Lawless, who first appears as a newspaper reporter D'Anna Biers, is a Number Three, and Sharon "Boomer" Agathon nee Valerii is a Number Eight, played by Grace Park.
Others include a shorter, brown-haired "Business" type named Aaron Doral who is a Number Five and played by Matthew Bennett; a semi-religious unit often called The Preacher named Brother Cavil, an old man whose Number is unknown and played by well-known movie actor Dean Stockwell, as is the Number of a tall, shaved-head black man named Simon and acted by Rick Worthy.
In the third season, Baltar learns he is not a Cylon when he tries to hang himself and almost dies rather than be resurrected. Although the "virtual Caprica" that Baltar often fantasies about mentions several times in Season Three that he is "The Chosen One", it seems this does not mean he is a Cylon.
The final episodes of Season Three, "Crossroads I & II" reveals four of the Final Five:
Samuel T. "Sam" Anders, a former star Pyramid player for the Caprica Buccaneers who is married to Starbuck and led the resistance on Caprica after the attack, acted by Michael Trucco; Galon "Chief" Tyrol, a Number Twelve who could be compared to Scotty from the original Star Trek and is played by Aaron Douglas; the Galactica's XO Saul Tigh who led the resistance on New Caprica, acted by Michael Hogan, and finally Tory Foster, the assistance to The President, played by Rekha Sharma. None of whom had any idea they were Cylons, much like Sharon "Boomer" in the first season, who later chooses to "be human" and pledges her allegiance to the Colonial Fleet and human race, and is promoted to a Leutenent.
Referencing the movie "Razor" where a Cylon who is a very, very old man but humanoid warns that Kara "Starbuck" Thrace will "lead the human race to its end" and that she has been told by a "seer" as well as a Cylon that she "has a destiny" the odds are bet that she will turn out to be the final unknown Cylon, but this is all conjecture as the fourth season has not yet been aired.
Is Starbuck revealed as a Cylon in the new series of Battlestar Galactica?
No, as of the end of season 3 she has not been proved or disproved a cylon, but there is still one of the final five not yet accounted for, so it is unclear at this point. _______ My understanding is that the Cylons are either of the nuts-and-bolts or humanoid variety. Wasn't the scrappy woman pilot who shot Cain in the "Razor" prequel a Cylon? If so, then she would be the 12th. _______ There are four kinds of cylons. The non-humanoid ones (centurions, raiders etc.), the twelve humanoid models, the hybrids aboard the baseships and the human-cylon hybrids (two known to exist). Obviously there are a lot of non-humanoid cylons and they aren't really relevant to this question. Also, not much is known about the hybrids aboard the baseships (other than that they speak what seems to be nonsense and essentially control the ship) or the human-cylon hybrids (they are Nicholas Tyrol and Hera Agathon), as that has not been explored much yet on the show. But your question pretains to the humanoid cylons. Out of the twelve models, seven are known to the colonials, and we know of eleven of them. Known to the colonials are: D'Anna Biers (3, and deactivated, aka, boxed), Aaron Doral (5), Six (known by a variety of names: Caprica, Shelley Godfried, Gina, etc.) Sharon Valerii (8), Leoben Connoy (unknown), Brother Cavil (unknown), Simon (unknown). But there are five more cylons, known as the final five. They are unknown to the cylons, except for one of the 3's (revealed during Rapture), but as she is boxed, she can tell no one. We know that four of them are: Saul Tigh, Tory Foster, Samuel Anders and Galen Tyrol. These cylons are different from the others, at least in the case of Colonel Tigh, there is a significant personal history which is absent in the seven models, they are suspectible to illness (Sam suffered pneumonia on New Caprica, Tigh is an alcoholoic) and more prone to injury (in comparison with the other seven cylons). That leaves one cylon model left unaccounted for. I personally find it unlikely that Kara Thrace would be that final cylon. Given her apparent resurrection and recent events, I think that would add up just a little too easily for this show. I doubt she is a cylon, but clearly the other characters suspect that she might be and who knows what's going on in her head.

Are the borg from Star Trek based on the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica?
The Borg were introduced before Battlestar Galactica was on screen so no.
Answer:
Battlestar Galactica (and the Cylons) were a 1978 TV series. Star Trek (and the Borg) didn't get together until the 1986 Next Generation episodes. So if you consider malevolent mechanical critters to be all the same the Cylons preceded the Borg by 18 years. However menacing machines have been a standard feature of science fiction for many years (even before Star Trek) and the idea could have come from many sources. As an example Dr. Who's Daleks or Fred Saberhagan's Berserkers.
There are few overlaps between the two sets of villains - Borg are a hive mind grown and changed by grafting human and artificial bits together, the Cylons (at least in the original Galactica) were essentially robots with independent capacities.
75 000 but that dropped to 50 000 before the end of the premier.
