“ It is my intention to seek out that remaining colony, that last outpost of humanity in the whole universe. They drive the Basestar too close to the planet where it explodes, touching off a chain reaction and clowning up the planet Carillon as well. But thanks to Adama’s plan the pilots race up from the planet catching the Cylon fleet unaware. The casino is evacuated, with colonists heading back to the fleet, just as a Cylon Basestar and squadrons of Raiders make what it believes is a covert attack on the fleet. They grab Boxey and blast their way past the Cylons, detonating the fuel stores. Apollo & Starbuck are joined by Serina and Boomer. A group of Cylons is also present, using the planet as a secret mining colony for tylium–an ore used to make fuel.

There they discover a series of egg chambers of the native Ovions where the missing colonists have been placed as food for their larvae. Just before the ceremony starts, Boxey goes missing so Apollo and Starbuck head down to the lower levels to find him. Adama tells his second in command, Colonel Tigh (Terry Carter) to provide pilot uniforms to other members of the crew and send them down to the planet, while secretly stockpiling their fighter ships near the casino. Counselor Uri suggests a celebration for the brave pilots that got the fleet through the Nova be held on planet, with all pilots present. Various colonists go missing including Cassiopeia. But Adama is still concerned, especially with the oddities found on Carillon. Sire Uri, now a member of a new Council of Twelve, believes that the Cylons have completely forgotten them and proposes that the military be dismantled to prove that they mean no further harm. Shore leave is quickly set up for the crews and colonists. Making their way to Carillon, Boomer and Starbuck discover there’s a casino and lounge that no one even knew existed. Baltar is called before the Cylon Imperious Leader (Patrick Macnee), who alters their deal and then puts Baltar to death, as no human shall survive. To avoid Cylon pursuit and make a shorter trip to the planet Carillon–where they can get supplies–they must traverse a dangerous area of space called the Nova of Madagon, which is lined with space-mines. Starbuck continues to see Cassiopeia even after Apollo’s sister, Athena (Maren Jensen), makes it known that she’s interested in him as well. Apollo also gives Boxey his flight wings, and proclaims him a junior cadet. Apollo calls in another favor to have a robotic daggit, Muffit II, created for Boxey to help train. Boxey is not sleeping well and is depressed since he lost his daggit (a Battlestar Galactica version of a dog) in the attack on Caprica.
Boxey’s character would grow up to be Capt. Baltar (John Colicos), a disenchanted colonist who believes that by helping the Cylons subjugate the humans will have a world he can rule as his own, scoffs at the Cylon’s thoughts that the refugees will be able to escape.īoxey and his mother Serina would both go on to play greater roles in the series. He gathers a fleet of every ship possible, 220 in all, and sets a course away from the Colony Worlds, and the pursuing Cylon fleet. As the sole commander of the last Battlestar, Adama vows to rescue as many people as possible and lead them to safety. Serina (Jane Seymour) and her son Boxy (Noah Hathaway) are two of the survivors that acost Apollo and Adama as they visit the rubble of their former home. Adama realizes this too late, and by the time he arrives on Caprica it has already been laid waste by the Cylon attack. Meanwhile the Cylon Basestars are committed to synchronized attack on all 12 of the colony homeworlds at the same time. The fleet, the President, and the council are all decimated with only the Galactica surviving. Zac is killed, and the Cylons still manage to get the upper hand. Their signals are jammed and Apollo must leave Zac behind in order to warn about the attack. They discover a large contingent of Cylon Raiders waiting behind a nearby moon to attack the fleet. His two sons Apollo (Richard Hatch) and Zac (Rick Springfield) run a recon patrol as a precaution. On the battlestar Galactica, Commander Adama (Lorne Greene) is wary of the Cylons’ peace efforts and puts his ship on alert. President Adar (Lew Ayres) toasts the council and the event, as the first peace humanity has had in millennia.
