he information in the Battlestar Galactica glossary is almost entirely taken from the episodes or the scripts themselves.
Information in various official publications about BG, including the novelizations, the BG Poster Magazine, the BG Scrapbook and the Encyclopedia Galactica, is often contradictory of the episodes.
Spellings have been deduced from pronunciation or, in other cases, adopted from the novelizations which, although sometimes not accurate, were written from the scripts and so presumably use their spellings.
