In the furthest reaches of the galaxy, the Twelve Tribes of man prosper. Forty yahrens after
a war with the Cylons, a race of cybernetic warriors once created by man, there is peace.
The Battlestar Galactica, the 50-yahren-old pride of the fleet, is being decommissioned and
turned into a museum. It's commander, William Adama, faces retirement.

But the peace of the Twelve Tribes is soon to be destroyed, as the Cylons launch a surprise
attack and obliterate Caprica and the rest of the colonies. Their world in flames, Adama and
the crew of the Galactica must escape the pursuing Cylons with what's left of humanity - a
ragtag, fugitive fleet of some 60 ships, who set out on a quest across the stars to find the
legendary, lost Thirteenth Tribe of humans: a planet called 'Earth'.

Not only reimagined but the new Galactica also redifines the genre. Slick, realisitic and with
characters you really care for, this is Sci-Fi for the post 9/11 audience with the full scale of war 
brilliantly realised. One of the best series in recent years.
