Saga of a Star World

This episode guide is in progress. You may add upon it as you so choose.

Overview

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

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.

Notes

• The conflict with the Cylons has raged for some 1,000 yahren.
• Each Colony of Man has one representative on the Quorum of Twelve (TOS), and each member to the Quorum has command of a battlestar, apparently.

1. Adama represents Caprica and commands Galactica.
2. Adar is president and commands the Atlantia.

• The Cylons have an hierarchal imperical society, lead by an emperor (Imperious Leader).
• The Cylons wish to exterminate human life as Colonials have interfered with Cylon efforts. (see: Hasari)
