Why you might like it

  • A licensed browser-based space combat MMO set in the Battlestar Galactica universe, letting players pilot Colonial or Cylon fighters in large-scale sector battles with hundreds of players.
  • Surpassed two million registered users within its first three months in 2011, reflecting the strength of the licensed IP at the time.
  • Kept alive by an active fan revival community since a December 2020 relaunch effort, with organized player groups still coordinating as of recent years.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The official Bigpoint-run service shut down permanently on February 1, 2019, after Bigpoint couldn't renew its Battlestar Galactica licensing agreement.
  • Today's version is entirely a fan-run project outside any official publisher support, so features, population and long-term stability depend on volunteer effort.
  • Because it depends entirely on the Battlestar Galactica IP, any future legal or licensing dispute could threaten even the current fan-run continuation.
