. Decades ago, the Cylons, robot worker class of the Twelve Colonies, rebelled and were fought back by the Colonials in a long, bloody conflict. Fifty years later, the Cylons return, wiping out the unsuspecting Colonies in a single deadly surprise attack. Survivors from the Colonies form a rag-tag fugitive fleet of luxury ships, cargo transports, and various other FTL-capable vessels led by President of the Colonies Laura Roslin and defended by the last known surviving Colonial warship, the outdated Battlestar Galactica. Under the joint command of President Roslin and Commander William Adama of the Galactica, the fleet embarks on a long, dangerous journey to find the apocryphal lost thirteenth colony: Earth.
