In the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series, the Case Orange is automated beacon is a Colonial Government technology designed to ensure a working government in the wake of a catastrophic event.

In our case, Case Orange is a blog designed to update people on the status of the Battlestar Wiki in the wake of a catastrophic event, such as server crashes and the like. (Since we’re a fairly frakkin’ popular website, we’re constantly in a rat race to keep everything in balance and functional.)

Also, should the server crash (or something nasty happen, such as slow connectivity), users are encouraged to post updates in the “Sit Rep” area.
