Aboard the aging warship <strong>Galactica</strong>, Commander William Adama leads the ragged remnant of humanity &#8212; roughly <strong>50,000 survivors</strong> in a patched-together civilian fleet &#8212; on a desperate search for a fabled planet called <strong>Earth</strong>, hunted the entire way by an enemy that now looks indistinguishable from people.</p>

<div class="band" id="miniseries"><h2>The Miniseries</h2><p class="lead">The two-night, three-hour pilot that started it all — broadcast in December 2003 and setting up the forty-year armistice, the Fall, and every character who matters, roughly beat by beat.</p><div class="arc" aria-expanded="true"><div class="arc-head"><span class="arc-tag">special</span><span class="arc-name">Night 1 · The Fall</span><span class="arc-arrow">▾</span></div><div class="arc-body"><p class="tblock"><span class="t">00:00–05:00</span>The story opens after a long Cylon-human armistice. A Cylon representative arrives at an isolated armistice station. The representative is the humanoid Cylon later identified as Number Six. The Colonials have become complacent after roughly forty years without a Cylon attack. The Cylon asks the human representative for confirmation that the Cylons have no representatives in the Colonial government. The human officer dismisses the question. Number Six is revealed to have a very different agenda. Her presence establishes immediately that the Cylons now possess humanlike bodies and personalities.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">05:00–12:00</span>On Caprica, Gaius Baltar is living a privileged life. Baltar is involved romantically with Number Six. Six has access to sensitive information through Baltar. She repeatedly discusses her religious belief that humanity has been created by a single God. Baltar dismisses or mocks some of her beliefs. The relationship is presented as intimate and trusting from Baltar's point of view. It later becomes clear that Six has deliberately positioned herself close to Baltar.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">12:00–20:00</span>Commander William Adama is aboard Galactica preparing for retirement. The ship is an aging Battlestar being removed from front-line service. Adama considers the old warship obsolete. Laura Roslin, Secretary of Education, is aboard a Colonial transport heading to Galactica for a ceremonial event. Adama's sons Lee and Zak Adama are part of the Galactica storyline. Zak is a Viper pilot. Lee and Adama have a strained relationship. The ship represents a military institution that the Colonies largely believe is no longer necessary.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">20:00–30:00</span>Colonial defense systems begin suffering catastrophic failures. Nuclear detonations begin striking the Twelve Colonies. The Cylons launch a coordinated attack across Colonial space. Nuclear strikes destroy cities and population centers. Colonial military vessels are caught unprepared. Civilian communication systems become chaotic. Nuclear EMPs and conventional devastation cripple infrastructure. A massive number of humans die within a very short period. Caprica is heavily affected. The previously unimaginable Cylon war has begun.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">30:00–40:00</span>Adama realizes that the attack is coordinated. Galactica's older systems are partly insulated because the ship has not been fully networked with newer Colonial technology. This becomes one of the central reasons Galactica survives. Networked Colonial systems are compromised or disabled. Galactica's crew begins trying to determine what remains of the fleet. Adama orders emergency preparations. Many civilian ships start assembling around Galactica because the Battlestar becomes a natural center for survival.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">40:00–50:00</span>Laura Roslin learns that most of the Colonial government has been destroyed. The president and much of the succession line are dead. Roslin learns she is now effectively the highest-ranking surviving civilian official. She becomes acting President of the Twelve Colonies. Her situation changes from educational administrator to wartime head of state. Roslin begins making emergency political decisions. She orders civilian ships to gather and follow Galactica.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">50:00–60:00</span>Adama contacts surviving military personnel. He attempts to understand where the Cylon forces are. The surviving fleet begins assembling. The Colonial fleet is fragmented and mostly civilian. Galactica's Viper squadrons are used for reconnaissance and defense. Apollo and Starbuck emerge as two of the most important fighter pilots. The fleet's initial goal is simply survival.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">60:00–75:00</span>Roslin informs Adama of the government's collapse. Adama realizes that the Colonies no longer have an organized military command structure. Roslin takes responsibility for civilian leadership. The fleet needs fuel, food, water, medicine, and protection. Adama states that humanity must find somewhere safe. Survivors begin hearing claims that the Cylons are everywhere. The psychological effect of the attack becomes almost as important as the physical damage.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">75:00–90:00</span>Kara Thrace / Starbuck returns to Galactica after being involved in combat. Her history with Adama and Lee becomes increasingly important. Adama is angry about Starbuck's reckless personality. Lee blames himself for failing to protect his brother Zak in the past. Roslin begins discovering that the Colonial government has almost no meaningful administrative structure left. Baltar survives the initial attack. The Six who is with him appears to him while he is suffering from guilt and shock. 90:00–105:00 Baltar discovers the consequences of Six's manipulation. Six reveals more about her true identity to him. She insists that God has a plan. Baltar becomes mentally unstable. He is uncertain whether the Six he sees is physically real. Six becomes an internal voice and apparent hallucination. The fleet begins planning an escape strategy. 105:00–120:00 Galactica leaves the area of the Colonies. The surviving ships follow. A Cylon trap is avoided through Adama's caution. Roslin begins organizing civilian leadership aboard the fleet. The President's staff begins functioning from Colonial One. Galactica becomes the military headquarters of the surviving human civilization. The central premise of the entire series is established: a few thousand survivors are fleeing from the Cylons.</p></div></div></div>
<div class="band" id="s1"><h2>Season 1</h2><p class="lead">Season 1 contains 13 episodes, beginning with 33 and ending with Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II. The season begins with roughly 50,298 survivors and ends with roughly 47,887.</p><div class="arc" aria-expanded="false"><div class="arc-head"><span class="arc-tag">S01E01</span><span class="arc-name">33</span><span class="arc-meta">7 beats</span><span class="arc-arrow">▾</span></div><div class="arc-body"><p class="tblock"><span class="t">00:00–05:00</span>Galactica and the Fleet have been fleeing from the Cylons continuously. The fleet is jumping approximately every 33 minutes. The crew has been awake for over 130 hours. People are suffering from severe sleep deprivation. The fleet has effectively been trapped in a repeating cycle.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">05:00–10:00</span>A Cylon Raider attacks the fleet. Galactica launches Vipers. Galactica must protect multiple civilian vessels. The crew realizes the Cylons are somehow finding the fleet after each jump. The problem is not merely locating another jump point; they are being tracked.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">10:00–15:00</span>Adama and Tigh struggle with exhausted personnel. Viper pilots are barely functioning. Mechanical failures begin appearing. Engines and jump systems are becoming increasingly unreliable. Civilians are reaching the limits of endurance.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">15:00–20:00</span>Baltar continues seeing Six. Six tells Baltar that God has selected him. Baltar becomes increasingly uncertain whether she exists. Her presence distracts him during critical moments. She pushes the idea that Baltar has an important role in the future.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">20:00–25:00</span>The Olympic Carrier disappears during a jump. The ship later reappears. The fleet is divided over whether it should be allowed to rejoin. Adama suspects something is wrong. The possibility exists that the ship has been infiltrated by Cylons.</p><p class="tblock"><span class="t">25:00–30:00</span>Starbuck argues that the Olympic Carrier could contain survivors.
