 The 12 Colonies of Man are all but wiped out by a cybernetic race called Cylons. Commander Adama and the Battlestar Galactica lead a rag-tag human fleet of survivors in search of a mythical planet called Earth. The planet Carillon with it's insect like Ovion inhabitants, seems to offer supplies and fuel, but it is in fact a Cylon trap. Female pilots must step into the breach when an unknown virus strikes down the Viper Corps, leaving only Starbuck and Apollo untouched. The Galactica reaches the planet Kobol in search of a clue to the location of Earth. The Cylons arive just in time to thwart Adama in his search, and kill Serina, Apollo's fiancee. A marooned Apollo must defend homesteaders against "Red Eye", a malfunctioning Cylon gunslinger who thinks the local cattle baron is his "Imperious Leader". While testing an experimental Viper, Starbuck gets tricked by an interstellar bootlegger, and winds up on a prison planet where the prisoners are decendants of the original prisoners. Convicts and clones join forces with the Galactica personnel to disable a tremendous Cylon pulsar cannon that threatens the Galctica from an icy world. On a mission to secure food for the fleet, Starbuck is tricked into becoming sheriff on an agro colony - a job complicated by marauding swine-like aliens, the Borays, and an amourous Siress with her eye on Adama. Starbuck's turn to be marooned - this time on a world where the Cylons have wiped out most of the adult population, leaving tribes of children in charge. "Lord of the Flies" meets "The Guns of Navarone" as Starbuck leads the children in a daring raid to free their father from the Cylons. Commander Cain, a living legend, shows up with the assumed-destroyed Battlestar Pegasus. Adama's cautious leadership falls into doubt in comparison to Cain's more confrontational style. Cain faces two Basestars alone with the Pegasus and his fate is undetermined. Sheba and Bojay are left behind and become crew members aboard the Galactica. "Towering Inferno" in Space! The Galactica is ablaze in the wake of a Cylon attack. Boomer, Boxey, Athena and other crew members are trapped and use Moffit crawl trough the air ducts for help. In order to extinguish the fire Apollo and Starbuck must go outside the Galactica to plant explosives on her hull. Adama's life hangs in the balance as he is in dire need of an operation during this ordeal. Starbuck, Apollo, and Sheba go looking for missing pilots, and find the mysterious Count Iblis instead. Charismatic and gifted with mental powers, Iblis threatens to wrest control of the fleet from Adama, until his "darker" side is revealed. Caught in a battle between the forces of light and darkness, Apollo is killed in Sheba's place and then resurected, returning to the fleet with special knowledge of Earth's coordinates. Fred Astaie makes an appearance as Chamelon, a con-man on the run from a group of humorless nomads, the Borillian Nomen. He masquerades as Starbuck's long lost father, not realizing how right he was. Starbuck is falsely accused of murder after a confrontation with an opposing Triad player named Ortega. When Ortega turns up dead Starbuck is the logical choice and a laser ballistics test confirms it in the eyes of the law. Apollo convinces Starbuck not to flee and tries to find the true culprit It takes an unwilling Baltar to clear his name, for he is the only one who know what Apollo's prime suspect Karibdis looks like, and Apollo sets a trap to flush him out. A sleeper ship, believed to come from Earth is discovered. The inhabitants, from a planet called Terra, warn of the pursuit of the tyranical Eastern Alliance. Starbuck, Apollo, and Cassiopia on board the sleeper ship fight and capture the leader of the Alliance Enforcers. Baltar plots his escape from the prison ship with the aid of the Nomen and the Alliance Enforcers, while Adama is hampered by a council observer. The Beings of Light from "War of the Gods" enlist Apollo in an attempt to save Terra from nuclear annihilation, but it takes the might of the Galactica to intercede where words fail. An old flame draws Starbuck into a political battle on board the Celestria. Apollo and Starbuck sneak on board a Cylon basestar in a last-ditch effort to end the Cylon threat forever. They plan to disable their scanners so they will not see the Galactica's approach. They strike a deal with Baltar for his freedom in order to get valuable information for thief dangerous mission.
