A Proposed Prequel and a Proposed Sequel
From the proposed zine section of Universal Translator #22: "'The Hike' is an action-adventure [story] centering on Apollo, Sheba, and Boxey; a prequel to 'Change of Command.' Enjoy the story of a father and son coming to understand and respect each other." Note, part one of this story appears in The Battlestar Review #3 (1982).
From the proposed zine section of UT #23: "'Summer Solstice' -- the sequel to 'Change of Command' is underway."
Neither zine was published, at least in these forms.
