- This episode guide is in progress. You may add upon it as you so choose.
Overview[edit]
- After a sneak attack destroys human civilization as the Colonials know it; under Commander Adama the survivors set out to find a mythical planet called Earth.
Summary[edit]
The Human-Cylon peace accords turn out to be a ruse by the genocidal Cylons, determined to exterminate all humanity. Only the Galactica and a ragtag fleet survive, journeying across the galaxy in search of long-lost sister civilization Earth. Lured to the planet Carillon for fuel and relaxation, the fleet barely survives a trap by the Ovions, an underground, insectoid species in league with the Cylons.
Questions[edit]
- How many civilians and Colonial Warriors were killed on the surface when the planet was destroyed? Lost Planet of the Gods dialouge between Apollo and Serina indicates losses were heavy.
