History WMG / BattlestarGalactica1978

It is already established that Series/Galactica1980 never happened in this version of the continuity. Fans hated that show and Richard Hatch felt our pain.[[note]]He despised the show too.[[/note]] The characters don't flashback much except to the events of ''Saga of a Star World'',''Lost Planet of the Gods'', ''The Gun on Ice Planet Zero'', ''The Living Legend'', and ''War of the Gods''. These five stories could be considered the core of the original saga at its best. And they do reflect the producers' original purpose of the SOASW being followed by several TV movies. It was ExecutiveMeddling that turned it into an hour long episodic series with a lot of filler episodes. But the novels never make conspicuous references to the Terra Arc (''Greetings from Earth'', ''Experiment in Terra'') or the PlanetOfTheWeek episodes which recycled Westerns (''The Magnificent Warriors'', ''The Lost Warrior'', ''The Long Patrol'', ''The Young Lords''). Then there are scientifically inaccurate episodes such as ''Fire in Space''. Although not an unpopular episode, ''The Hand of God'', due to it's ending, strongly suggests that there is no plausible reason for the Galactica's journey to continue for much longer[[note]]Those TV transmissions had to be close by a few light years. More than that, square inverse law would have dissipated them into indistinguishable background noise. It's just improbable that the Galactica would not receive even more frequent transmissions and recognize them for what they are[[/note]]. Readers are [[FanonDiscontinuity left to their own imaginations to decide whether the filler episode events happened or not]].

Series/BattlestarGalacticaClassic is the universe where the Colonials never created the cylons (however they do have the technology to do so - hence Muffet the robot dog). Instead of creating robots to fight their wars, their technological development focused on laser weapons.
