	The basic game is set in the first season immediately following the destruction of the Twelve Colonies. There are two "teams" in the game, the humans and the Cylons. The game starts like the series, with the humans trying to reach {{RDM\|Kobol}}. Initially, the Cylons are game mechanics thrown at the humans in the form of crisis cards during each player's turn. As the game progresses, it becomes obvious that one or more players may in fact ''be'' a Cylon and is trying to prevent the humans from getting to Kobol by secretly subverting their efforts to get past the challenges presented in the crisis cards.

	The human team wins by making [[FTL]] jumps until reaching {{RDM\|Kobol}}, then making a final jump.

Half way to Kobol, the 'sleeper agent' phase ends, and some players that were human at the start of the game might find out that they are a Cylon. This aspect of the game means that human players might want to be careful about how well they are doing in the game prior to this phase, as other players might notice a sudden change in play style. The Cylon team wins if the any of the resources run out, ''Galactica'' is destroyed, or if a boarding party can "vent the oxygen to space" from the battlestar and kill the crew.

	* '''Conflicted Loyalties''' replaces the standard loyalty cards ("You are a Cylon" and "You are Not a Cylon") with one or both of two new sets, each specifying an individual goal that a player must fulfil. Personal Goals can be possessed by humans or Cylons, and revealed for some benefit if certain conditions are met. If unfulfilled at the end of the game, a Personal Goal reduces a resource, possibly causing the humans to lose. [[Final Five]] Goals identify a player as one of the Final Five, with specific agenda.

To balance this, this option also adds a new title of "CAG", giving one player additional control over the human fighters, and a limited number of [[Viper (TRS)\|Mark VII Vipers]]s, which are faster and harder to destroy than the Mark II model.		* '''The Cylon Fleet''' adds a new board which tracks progress of the Cylon Fleet pursuing the Colonial Fleet.

These focus on the Battlestar ''[[Pegasus (TRS)\|Pegasus]]'', her crew, and the discovery, settlement and invasion of [[New Caprica]], as well as additional options for Cylon players.

	The ''Pegasus'' is represented by an additional game board with new actions players can perform, including executing characters by putting them out of an airlock. Executing a Cylon forces them to reveal themselves, but executing a human reduces the morale of the fleet and forces that player to choose a new human character. (If there are no human characters left, the humans immediately lose the game.) The Pegasus can also fight Cylon ships, and take damage in place of ~~the~~ Galactica.

Such a player gets a secret agenda which they must fulfil to win, rather than simply making the humans lose; this might be an agenda which is sympathetic to the human cause, depending on the total number of players.		Four new human characters are included: Admiral [[Helena Cain]], [[Anastasia Dualla\|Anastasia "Dee" Dualla]], [[Louanne Katraine\|Louanne "Kat" Katraine]] and [[Ellen Tigh]]. The expansion also introduces "Cylon Leader" characters; players may choose to have a player openly be a Cylon from the beginning of the game, and that player is able to infiltrate the human fleet, effectively playing as a human until they leave the Fleet. Such a player gets a secret agenda which they must fulfil to win, rather than simply making the humans lose; this might be an agenda which is sympathetic to the human cause, depending on the total number of players.

	* '''Conflicted Loyalties''' replaces the standard loyalty cards ("You are a Cylon" and "You are Not a Cylon") with one or both of two new sets, each specifying an individual goal that a player must fulfil. Personal Goals can be possessed by humans or Cylons, and revealed for some benefit if certain conditions are met. If unfulfilled at the end of the game, a Personal Goal reduces a resource, possibly causing the humans to lose. [[Final Five]] Goals identify a player as one of the Final Five, with specific agenda. Final Five players, while technically Cylons, are treated as human or Cylon based on their other Loyalty cards, since the Final Five may side with either faction.		* '''Conflicted Loyalties''' replaces the standard loyalty cards ("You are a Cylon" and "You are Not a Cylon") with one or both of two new sets, each specifying an individual goal that a player must fulfil.

	* '''The Cylon Fleet''' adds a new board which tracks progress of the Cylon Fleet pursuing the Colonial Fleet. This replaces the random attacks provided by cards in the base game and instead shows players the Cylon Fleet growing ever closer. To balance this, this option also adds a new title of "CAG", giving one player additional control over the human fighters, and a limited number of [[Viper (~~Mark VII~~)\|Mark VII Vipers]]s, which are faster and harder to destroy than the Mark II model.		* '''The Cylon Fleet''' adds a new board which tracks progress of the Cylon Fleet pursuing the Colonial Fleet.

	* '''The Ionian Nebula''' replaces Kobol with the [[Ionian Nebula]]. It also adds a number of allies - characters not directly controlled by players, but who may aid or hinder them - and introduces trauma in the form of tokens. These tokens affect the behaviour of allies, the outcome of trials among the humans or Cylons, and may even directly cause the character to be executed. The game culminates in the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]].		* '''The Ionian Nebula''' replaces Kobol with the [[Ionian Nebula]].

	The basic game is set in the first season immediately following the destruction of the Twelve Colonies. There are two "teams" in the game, the humans and the Cylons. The game starts like the series, with the humans trying to reach {{RDM\|Kobol}}. Initially, the Cylons are game mechanics thrown at the humans in the form of crisis cards during each player's turn. As the game progresses, it becomes obvious that one or more players may in fact ''be'' a Cylon and is trying to prevent the humans from getting to Kobol by secretly subverting their efforts to get past the challenges presented in the crisis cards. Secrecy is a big part of the game.		The basic game is set in the first season immediately following the destruction of the Twelve Colonies.

	Designed for 3 to 6 players, each player chooses to play as one of ten characters, each with their own skills, abilities and weaknesses, while trying to help mankind reach Kobol.

	The human team wins by making [[FTL]] jumps until reaching {{RDM\|Kobol}}, then making a final jump. During that process, they have to deal with regular crises and keep several resources (food, fuel, morale and population) from running out, while also keeping ''Galactica'' from being destroyed by Cylon ships or boarded by [[Centurion (RDM)\|Centurions]]. Half way to Kobol, the 'sleeper agent' phase ends, and some players that were human at the start of the game might find out that they are a Cylon. This aspect of the game means that human players might want to be careful about how well they are doing in the game prior to this phase, as other players might notice a sudden change in play style. The Cylon team wins if the any of the resources run out, ''Galactica'' is destroyed, or if a boarding party can "vent the oxygen to space" from the battlestar and kill the crew.
