Editing Mara

{{separate continuity|universe=TOS|lcont=Battlestar Galactica (SDS)|cont=Singer-DeSanto continuation}}

In the [[SDS|continuation]] series project concept, produced by [[Tom DeSanto]] and [[Bryan Singer]], the [[The Fleet (TOS)|Fleet]], tired of their space exodus, settle in an asteroid field. The new colony, [[New Caprica (SDS)|New Caprica]], is headed by a Council of Twelve lead by '''Mara''', the Colonial president.

The Council directs the outmoded battlestar ''[[Galactica (SDS)|Galactica]]'' to be decommissioned. President Mara attends the decommissioning ceremonies aboard the battlestar. Just as ''Galactica'' is powered down, a heavily advanced version of the [[Cylons (SDS)|Cylons]] return to attack the colony.

===Similarities===

In the [[Original Series]], the Colonial president, [[Adar (TOS)|Adar]], dies when his flagship battlestar, ''[[Atlantia (TOS)|Atlantia]]'' is destroyed during the [[Battle of Cimtar]]. The office of the president is never filled during the course of the series.

In the [[Re-imagined Series]], the Colonial Secretary of Education, [[Laura Roslin]], attends the decommissioning ceremonies for the outdated battlestar, ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'', which is scheduled to be transformed into a [[Galactica Museum|museum]] of the [[Cylon War]]. After the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], Roslin [[Case orange|becomes the new interim President]] of the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Twelve Colonies]].
