When a Cylon attack destroys the fleet's food supply, Adama and the others must agree to certain compromises with old acquaintances and with the inhabitants of a grain-rich, yet politically turbulent planet. Along the way, they encounter the misguided human scientist who originally built the weapon, as well as his legions of clones. Herded into a confined area of space by the Cylons, the fleet must pass within close range of a lethal Cylon pulsar cannon-unless an expedition of officers from the Galactica and a team of convicts can penetrate the ice-bound fortress housing the weapon and destroy it.Īpollo, Starbuck, and Boomer lead a team of cutthroat demolitions and cold-weather experts (and the stowaway Boxey). The storyline is very much reminiscent of the classic western Shane.Īfter losing an experimental Viper to a smuggler, Starbuck is imprisoned on a penal colony, but this new environment holds a possible clue to the location of Earth. Marooned on a frontier planet, Apollo befriends a young widow and her son, rallying a town against 'Red Eye'- a likewise marooned, yet memory-damaged, Cylon centurion gunslinger. Led by Adama's spiritual interpretations, the fleet enters a vast magnetic void, emerging at the planet Kobol, the legendary world from which humanity originated.īefore Adama can discover Earth's location from the inscribed hieroglyphs, a Cylon attack destroys the sacred city on Kobol-and claims the life of Serina. With many warriors suffering from an unknown ailment, the Galactica recruits new Viper pilots-mostly young women, including Apollo's new bride, Serina. (original movie split up during syndication.) But the Cylons will not rest until every last human has been eliminated, and pursue them across the galaxy. Only the Battlestar Galactica, led by Commander Adama, and a ragtag fleet of 220 civilian ships survive, beginning a journey across the galaxy in search of long-lost sister civilization Earth. Aided by the human traitor Baltar, an armistice turns out to be a ruse by the Cylons, who launch a massive surprise attack against the Twelve Colonies of humanity, almost wiping them out. In a distant part of the cosmos, the human race is embroiled in a thousand-year-long war with the robotic Cylons.
