Information
Battlestar Galactica was a concept created in the wake of the mass popularity of Star Wars debuting in 1977. The franchise debuted during a Space Opera boom from Star Wars' success with other timelines in the Danaverse forming. Among those related to the boom period were new timelines for Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and Flash Gordon. The Star Trek franchise also had its first cinematic feature, Star Trek, the Motion Picture in 1979. Between 1981 and 2003, Battlestar Galactica lay dormant until Battlestar Galactica Timeline 2 debuted.
