Galactica CIC Wall Ornament

Joe Beaudoin Jr. — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:26:23 +0000

Above the arches leading to the two major doorways of Galactica‘s CIC are circular wall ornaments that show the ship’s name and Battlestar Group number, in this case “BSG-75″.

One of the ornaments on an arch in front of the venerable CIC glass doors.

These ornaments, of which only two exist, are made of wood and painted gold and black. Measuring 33 1/4″ in diameter and 2″ deep, these items are iconic pieces of Galactica‘s CIC—particularly as one of these seals were featured at the end of the opening credit sequence in Season 1. Further, the existence of such ornaments are echoed in both Pegasus‘s and Valkyrie‘s CICs, in addition to various larger ornaments such as those seen at the Caprica Transfer Station in “Razor” and President Richard Adar‘s office in Season 2′s “Epiphanies“.

CIC – During the Strike

As I promised, here are the photos that I’ve taken two of the days that they’ve been striking the CIC set. As you can see, most of the set pieces that are going into the auction from this set were removed, with exception of the navigation plot (at least on the first day they were dismantling the set).

CIC: Before the Strike

Yes, it’s true. CIC has been struck. Fortunately, our premier photographer, Josef Philipp, took great pictures of the CIC before it was struck. Many of the consoles featured here, such as the helms, the tables, and even Gaeta‘s and Dee‘s stations, will be available for the future auction (and will be featured as blog posts in the future).

Tomorrow, we will show you some behind-the-scenes photos from the strike. Stay tuned.
