Battlestar
Galactica is a franchise of American sci-fi films and television
series, the
first of which was produced in 1978. A series of book adaptations,
original
novels, comic books, and video games have also been based on the
concept. All
of the Battlestar Galactica productions share the same premise: A
civilization
of humans lives on planets in a distant part of the universe. "The
Twelve
Colonies” have been at war with a cybernetic race known as
the “Cylons.” The
Cylons launch a sudden sneak attack on the Colonies, laying waste to
the
planets and devastating their populations. A few thousand survivors
flee into
space aboard any spacecraft they can reach, but of the entire Colonial
Fleet,
the Battlestar Galactica appears to be the only military ship to come
through
the attack. Her famed commander and crew take up the task of leading
the ragtag
fleet of survivors in search of a fabled refuge known as
“Earth.”
