When it was announced that Bigpoint – a developer of web-based games – had acquired the Battlestar Galactica license and intended to create an MMO with it (to be called Battlestar Galactica Online), it was met with a mixed response from our commenters. The response was based purely on the fact that it was to be free-to-play and browser-based, and typically browser-based is associated with “cheap and/or ugly”. There was understandable speculation that it would be a standard game with few ties to the much-loved Battlestar Galactica universe.

Today, it was announced that many major characters from the popular SyFy show would have a presence within the game, rendered in fairly impressive 3D, considering it is running in your browser.

According to the announcement, the game will contain the likenesses of:

Human
William “Admiral” Adama portrayed by Edward James Olmos
Kara “Starbuck” Thrace portrayed by Katee Sackhoff
Lee “Apollo” Adama portrayed by Jamie Bamber
Galen “Chief” Tyrol portrayed by Aaron Douglas

Battlestar Galactica producer Ron Moore has revealed that he left the fate of Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) deliberately vague in the show’s series finale.

The character was seen to disappear into thin air in the final episode, and it was left unclear if she was dead or alive.

Moore told io9: “She is what you want to think of her. It was left deliberately nebulous and vague.”

He admitted that the character’s unusual departure did have some religious overtones.

“If you want to call her an angel, you could say that,” he said. “She went through a resurrection story that was very Christ-like.”

He also explained that he had left the character’s final fate deliberately vague in order to stimulate fan debate and discussion.

“I felt, as I went into the finale, that the more I defined exactly what she was, the less interesting she became,” he revealed. “And so I just made a choice to go out on a more ambiguous note, and to let people argue about it perpetually.”
