Synopsis of Battlestar Galactica
In the 7th millennium, humanity lives spread across twelve planetary colonies known as the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. It maintains a fragile armistice with the Cylons, a race of robots that suddenly launches a coordinated nuclear attack against all of its worlds. With the help of a human scientist, Count Baltar, the attackers devastate the planets and wipe out their populations. Only the Galactica, a military battlestar, and a group of civilian ships that were in flight or took off during the attack survive. Under the command of Adama, the survivors flee in search of a new home while the Cylons pursue them, determined to destroy them. The series was created by Glen A. Larson and aired on ABC, and its main cast is headed by Lorne Greene.
