Plot[edit]

Twenty years after fleeing their homewords, the rag-tag fugitive Fleet arrives at the Earth with the aid of Seraph technology. Much to their disappointment, they find it inhabited only by dinosaurs. A landing party discovers an ancient temple. Meanwhile, Count Iblis reveals himself to Baltar, who is pursuing the Fleet.

Summary[edit]

Notes[edit]

  • This comic series ignores the Galactica 1980 series. However, Starbuck makes a glib reference to the 1980 "The Return of Starbuck", where he tells Apollo that, had he been left behind, he would find a deserted planet somewhere and christened it "Starbuck".
  • Unlike other separate continuity materials, particularly the Berkley novelizations and Richard Hatch's novels, Boxey is not the nickname for "Troy", but a variant of his formal name, "Box".
  • The Beings of Light are formerly called the "Seraphs".
  • The character John was introduced in the episode "Experiment in Terra".
  • Much like the Re-imagined Series, the Fleet happens upon the planet Earth, which is lifeless.
  • Apollo and Sheba marry and have a three-yahren old son, named Cain, after his grandfather.
  • A net loss of 56 ships from the Fleet has incurred over the twenty yahren since their exodus.

Analysis[edit]

  • Baltar's return to the Cylons, and indeed their re-acceptance of him, is not explained. Presumably, Adama was good on his word and after the Battle at Galaxy's Edge, released Baltar. His discovery by the Cylons, and later reintroduction into their hierarchy as commander, remain unexplained and a topic untouched in this comic. There is the inference that Count Iblis has a hand in this, given his miraculous presence aboard Baltar's baseship.

Questions[edit]

  • How does Iblis escape judgment of the Seraphs?
  • How does Baltar return to the Cylon fleet? Further, why do the Cylons accept him back into the fold?
  • What is Tigh's destiny?
  • Has definitive proof of Cain's fate been discovered by the Colonials?
