Comments:
Built midway through the Thousand Yahren War with the Cylon Imperium, the Battlestar Galactica is positively ancient, even for a ship as powerful as a Battlestar. Surviving the slaughter at Cimtar only by the skill of its Viper pilots and the wariness of its captain, Commander Adama, the Battlestar Galactica becomes the guardian of a fleet of civilian craft housing the last survivors of the human race. Fighting their way through an entire star empire bent on their destruction, humanity searches for the lost colony of Earth in the hope of outracing the Cylons and finding peace again.
Points of Interest:
The Classic Battlestar Galactica is based on the original Battlestar Galactica televison series, and is related to the current series in name only...or at least until some EU story links the two series somehow.
