When the infamous Cylons launched a genocidal attack on the Twelve Colonies, only souls fortunate enough to be aboard starships were able to band together and escape deep into space, led by the sole surviving Colonial Warship, the Battlestar Galactica. The Galactica and its crew seemed to be unlikely saviors for humanity’s desperate survivors. Commander William Adama found himself responsible for safeguarding the last remnants of the human race. Meanwhile, the annihilation of the Colonial government on Caprica resulted in the succession of Laura Roslin, the Secretary of Education, to the presidency. Driven by prophetic visions and political necessity, she set the fleet upon a quest that will take it into the farthest reaches of unexplored space…in search of the mythical, lost “13th colony” — Earth.
