How The Game Starts

Based on the new Battlestar Galactica tv show, the game begins 40 years after the first Cylon war. The players begin the game as either a Cylon or a Colonial, stranded at the edge of one of the galactic arms. Both Colonial fleets (Battlestar Galactica and Pegasis) are heavily damaged and low on critical resources. The race begins for the Colonials to repair and rearm their ships, escape and continue their quest for Earth before the Cylons gain enough strength to obliterate them once and for all.
