The Global Defense series is a radical departure from the rest of the D5 universe for several reasons. Firstly, they have been written in the first person viewpoint rather than the third person such as Hermes/Victorious. Each of the stories are told in the past tense from the perspetive of the protagonist, Jack Bowman. Jack is the only Bowman protagonist not to seve in the military. Secondly, the stories appear on FanFiction.net’s Caprica page rather than the Battlestar Galactica 2003 page.
