This makes good sense to me, thank you for the explanation as it did help.

Also, the best Hyperspace is the Stargate one bar none. (At least between the most famous ones)

I know this isn’t really important as the story is over but I just wanted to ask why is it you think the Cyrannus system is a trinary system there is a map that shows it as a double binary four stars four solar systems in the map is considered canon while the information in it is only considered semi-canon it was meant to be changed as needed to match what they decided for the show.
And why is it that everyone has to make the Claudio jump drive capable of jumping from one side of the galaxy the other one was to keep going further I consider the colonial jump engine a deus ex machina be capable of jumping that far is literally too much personally I would put a hard look at that it cannot jump further then I have a 50 lightyears years going based on what the riders of the show stated they believe the colonial jump drive could do a maximum of about 15 like years that was their calculation limit they’re red line in the Cylons can do three times that we should be about 45 to 50 light years.

I laughed so hard I hurt over Tigh's plucked chicken comment. It brought back memories of Bo and Mack watching the battle out the porthole on B-5.

A good story. Not great but certainly good. A little too much of 'and then this happens and then that happened' going on. I'm also not to fond of the EA bashing. Don't get me wrong I understand it. The Clarke Regime was pretty terrible but most of the EA was fairly good a d pragmatic. I hope to see this addressed soon because I don't like see Earth and the Colonials at odds with each other.

What would be interesting to know is if the jump drives work in hyperspace,since the jump drives need to calculate for things in the way, but there is nothing in hyperspace.

Excellent

I love that you mentioned the conflict between the Alterran and Ori. I bet we could mount some modern armor and armament on the Battlestars.

After all the threats and suffering G'kar has experienced that he would fear adama?you've got him pissing everyone off,the ones who are trying to help the colonies get back on their he gonna go after delenn next?

Why that section about Adama admonishing the centuri about the look he gave the barn?

Colonial nukes are weaker than B5 due to the fact that colonial nukes are fission based where B5s are fusion based.2nukes from the Lexington destroyed the black star where colonial nukes could take as many as can still kill civilian ships and could damage or destroy a white star.

Short but sweet like the story thank you for writing

I have truly enjoyed reading your story wish it had been longer though but those are the breaks thank you for writing

Another reason for the colonials making hundreds of jumps verses Starbucks much fewer total would be. The fleet is trying to escape the cylons and given the cylons have better jump drives running in a straight line would be foolish and so they would have to make jumps along random vectors possibly sometimes near doubling back on themselves so in three dimensional space this equates to hundreds of jumps but relatively little distance travelled, so Starbuck travelling in a straight line would require very few jumps to get back to the colonies.

Just remembered another comment I wanted to make last time I read the story but didn't end up doing... What would happen if the BSG people were to use their drives in hyperspace? Personally I'm of two minds, and four opinions. one that could do irreparable damage to the hyperspace Lane, two that the two are incompatible and their drives simply won't function in Hyperspace. Three the drives work as do in normal space allowing the effects to build off each other ( a two day trip accomplished immediately as they can target the becon at the other end) or four it has an unexpected result like Stargates mirror drive or the Red Dwarf hop drive...

Second read-through, I had forgotten about the section when I read it the first time and I wanted to comment now before I forget again. Could the argument then be made that an alternate of the Stargate universe could also be crossed with a story in the future? Or did you just use the Ori and the Alterrens as a handy narrative device?

First thing I thought when I saw the names crop up was 'I wonder where the mirror device is?'
