>The Battlestar is a fictional starship featured in the reimagined science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica. The starship was designed by Richard Hatch and the producers of the series. It was first shown in the pilot episode, "33", and has since appeared in all of the subsequent episodes of the series.



This is such a weird answer. First, the Battlestar Galactica was also featured in the original series. It's the focal point of both series, the namesake, etc.

And I don't think Hatch had anything to do with the design of the ships. He was hired as an actor for the first series and while he tried to get a continuation of the original going, he never got there. Then eventually was incorporated in the re-imagined series as a recurring character.

Like, it's part right and part wrong and part weird.

Edit:

Also, technically, the original series could exist in the same continuity as the re-imagined series. In the re-imagined series, it's revealed that all of this takes place in Earth's distant past. In the original series, it's revealed that the show is actually taking place in the present. In both cases, the final destination is our Earth.
