The Sci-Fi channel original series, Battlestar Galactica, is a re-imagined creation based on the 1978 television series of the same name created by Glen A. Larson. The re-imagined series kicked off with a three hour miniseries during which the bulk of humanity was annihilated by the cylons, a group of evolved, self-aware robots that were originally created by man.

About the Series
One of the only military ships to survive the cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies is the Battlestar Galactica, a clunky old vessel with no computer network connections to the rest of the fleet. The Galactica is commanded by William Adama (Olmos), a veteran of the first Cylon War who is on the brink of retirement.After the Cylons' nuclear attack on the Twelve Colonies, Commander Adama and the newly appointed President, Laura Roslin (McDonnell), decide to lead the 50,000 remaining human survivors across the galaxy to a fabled Thirteenth Colony called Earth. As they search for Earth, they continually battle and escape from cylon forces, who are also in search of Earth, which they wish to make their new homeworld.
