Transfer Orders

After being discovered by Pegasus in Season 2’s “Pegasus“, members of the Fleet and Galactica are initially joyed to see another battlestar survive the attack on the Colonies. That is until Admiral Helena Cain makes many decisions that include ignoring the civilian fleet to having officers transferred between the surviving battlestars. After reviewing Commander William Adama’s logs, Cain decides that having Lee Adama as CAG and Kara Thrace as a pilot on Galactica is a mistake.

When presented with the transfer orders in Commander Adama’s office, Kara Thrace and Lee Adama react unfavorably to the orders, but ultimately follow them. The orders themselves are never seen on screen as they are being held in their hands, until now.

 

Adama’s reinstatement letter

In the flashback scenes from “Scattered” that show Saul Tigh and William Adama’s lives 20 years in the past, Tigh recalls Adama’s reinstatement in the Colonial Fleet. Onboard the tramp freighter they both serve on, Tigh reads a letter that Adama received from the Colonial Fleet about his reinstatement, thanks to Carolanne’s father’s friend in the defense sub-committee. That letter, in all its glory, is below.

Prescription Pads

In the Season 3 episode, “The Woman King“, Doctor Michael Robert is introduced a civilian doctor who—as it turns out later—murders Sagittarons due to his hatred of them. As a then-practicing doctor in Dogsville, he has access to the medicine dispensary, and as such can write out prescriptions. Pictured below is a never-before-seen prescription pad carried by Doctor Robert.

Baltar Election Propaganda

First, I must apologize for the lack of new props and paperwork items, however Alec had an important announcement regarding the dates of the auctions and we wanted to keep that information on the top of the new blog list for a few days. And if you did not see that information, here it is.

Now that hopefully everyone has read it, we’re continuing with our series of “paper” props that are pretty frakking awesome. These paper props should be interesting, considering that this is an election year in the United States, and some of you have seen some smear campaigns and the word “change” bandied about indiscriminately.

In the Galactica universe, the two-parter for the Season 2 finale, “Lay Down Your Burdens“, sees Baltar running for president. As we see before the debates, Baltar is in his lab, where he is surrounded by stacks of flyers and pamphlets for his presidential bid. Here are a few pieces from that set… and some pieces that we can see later on after his successful bid, particularly the stuff in Gina’s quarters on Cloud Nine.

New Caprica Colonization - Executive Order

In Season 2’s “Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II“, after Gaius Baltar is sworn in as president, he signs an executive order as his first act. This executive order begins the colonization process on New Caprica. Up until now, no one has seen the text of that order. Here it is.

Not the most impressive thing that the Baltar-man has signed… and not to be outdone, he autographs better material well over a year into his “term”. It’s killer material, seriously.
