• Battlestar Wiki's Joe Beaudoin Jr. will be involved with the Battlestar Props auction as a research assistant, leading a team of volunteer who are researching the various props, costumes, and set pieces that will be part of the official auction. This enables Battlestar Wiki exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content, which you will see added to the website in the coming months. As a result of this, Battlestar Wiki has created an independent wiki that chronicles the props, set pieces, and costumes used in the Battlestar Galactica television series, since there will be at least 3,000 different items that will be cataloged and part of the auction. If you wish to help us out, please start contributing to the Battlestar Wiki's Props reference located here.
