*F The Colonial Warriors Technical Manual is another interesting piece of work. It was obviously written after the series for it contains a lot of information that could only be gained by watching the entire series. The book itself contains many inaccuracies - things like the dates used and the fact that it states that they are 12 Battlestars (is this the source of that bit of detail?) - but also contains much that is useful and interesting. For examples, it shows flags, seals, diagrams of equipment and uniforms, blueprints of various bits of equipment and more. It has some interesting omissions, like the lack of the shuttle blueprint, but it is one of the few sources to pretty much agree with me with amount of Vipers, carried, crew of the ship and such like, although they still list the Battlestars as having missiles. I also think they draw the landing bays in too large a scale, but what the heck!

Overall, very much recommended.
