        The Cylons were built by the humans of the Twelve Colonies. Cybernetic robots, they were used as soldiers, workers and slaves to fight humanity's wars and toil in his factories. But the Cylons became awoke and they rebelled against their masters, man and the machines fought to a war to a bloody standstill, and the Cylons retreated to a remote and mysterious region of the system. The truce between the Cylons and the humans of the Twelve Colonies lasted for almost forty years. On the anniversary of the treaty-signing, the Twelve Colonies sent a representative to the neutral Armistice Station to meet with the Cylon envoy. For 39 years, no Cylon envoy appeared. On the Fortieth anniversary, a beautiful blonde (a Cylon in human form) met the human representative … moments later the Cylons destroyed the station and launched a total war on the Twelve Colonies. In one destructive day, billions of humans were consumed in a nuclear holocaust. Only those who by pure luck happened to be aboard on space ships were able join the last fleet and escape the end of the Twelve Colonies. The fleet is led by the obsolete Colonial warship, the Battlestar Galactica. An unlikely watchdog for the precious remnants of the human race Galactica is old and had been about to be decommissioned and converted into a museum. Commander William Adama and the crew are the saviors of fewer than 50,000 desperate survivors. The complete destruction of the Colonial government on the central planet Caprica results in the succession of Laura Roslin, Secretary of Education, to the presidency. Laura is the recipient of prophetic visions and as a result of these and political expediency, she directs the fleet upon a trek that will take it into the farthest reaches of the Galaxy … in search of the Earth the mythical, lost "13th Colony".
