Ship : Galactica (Battlestar of the Colonial Fleet) Humanity lives in a distant star system on the twelve colonies. For a thousand years they have fought with the Cylons, war robots created by a reptilian race which expired a long time ago. The cylons were never commanded to stop the war so they continued fighting against the human beings and the twelve colonies. The Colonists were defeated in a sneak attack on the colonies while the Colonial Fleet was away, all this thanks to the help of the traitor Baltar. A ragtag, fugitive fleet of ships escapes protected by the Battlestar Galactica commanded by Commander Adama. They flee in search of a new home, the 13th colony, a legendary planet called Earth. The Classic Series was produced in a period when popular interest in science fiction was reborn, it was the most expensive television show produced at the time. Its special effects were a start of a new era. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled after the second season due to its high production costs. There was a try to re-launch the series in 1980, a third season which only lasted six episodes was produced without Starbuck and Apollo and was widely criticised. In this third, season where Galactica finally finds Earth, it is generally classed not to be a part of the Galactica Show. Actually the show was called off when the seventh episode was in production.
