Crusade Overview

Crusade begins after a savage attack on Earth by the Drakh, once the allies of the evil Shadows before thier departure beyond the Rim. Earth's humans have succeeded in defeating the Drakh force with the help of the Interstellar Alliance lead by President John Sheridan, but not its final revenge: a biogenetic plague that will eliminate all human life on Earth within five years, unless a cure can be found. Earth's scientists realize that they have no hope of developing a cure within that time period. So the White Star Fleet - led by the advanced prototype warship Excalibur staffed by a team of soldiers and scientists is sent to comb the ruins of alien civilizations far more advanced than humans to find the cure that will help save Earth.

Commander Adama, now wearing a beard, remains in command of both the Galatica and the fleet, with Col. Boomer as his second in command. Upon realizing Earth of 1980 cannot face the Cylons, and hearing Doctor Zee's warning that the Cylons have followed them, Adama turns the fleet away, sending his grandson Troy (now the grown up Boxey) and his wingman Dillon to explore Earth and aid in speeding up its technological development. They are helped by a reporter named Jamie Hamilton, and thanks to Doctor Zee some new technology such as personal cloaking shields, flying motorcycles and even a time machine.

But there is a a traitor among the fleet named Xavier who steals a ship and travels into Earth's past in an effort to speed up Earth's technological development by introducing technology into the past. His first target is to help the Nazi rocket program, but is stopped by Troy, Dillon and Jamie but escapes their custody and returns to 1980 Earth.

Battlestar Galactica (1978) Overview

Set in a distant galaxy, Mankind has reached its Seventh Millenia of recorded history. Twelve worlds in a multi-star system are home to the Twelve Colonies of Man. According to the ancient writings, the Twelve Colonies were settled by those who journeyed from the mother world of Kobol. Also by the ancient writings a thirteenth tribe of humans moved across the stars to settle in another world called Earth. But over the millenniums Earth has become a myth and little is known about the Colonials true origins, save for the writings in the Book of Kobol. It is unknown how the Colonials came to know about Earth, since they did not appear to maintain communications with their distant brethren.

For the past one thousand years, Man has fought the robotic Cylon Alliance. The war began when the Colonies intervened in Cylon aggressions against the Hassarians in a neighboring star system. The Colonies are united by a President and governed by The Council of the Twelve, a ruling body comprised of one representative from each Colonial world. The state of war is ever-present and the Colonies have deployed space-borne military defenses against the Cylons and other unseen hostiles, such as pirates. The strongest of these defenses are the Colonial battlestars..

Council member Baltar has struck a peace agreement with the Cylons. He has convinced President Adar and the rest of the Council of the Twelve to accept the Cylons' word. Only Adama of the battlestar Galactica shows concern and muted resistance. The Colonial fleet is gathered as a peace envoy under a joint Cylon - Colonial truce.

But the Cylons deploy a Trojan Horse strategy against the Colonies: Under the guise of peace, the Colonial military is ambushed and destroyed with only the Galactica surviving. While the Colonial fleet is being destroyed the unprotected civilian populations of the Twelve Colonies are assaulted and also destroyed. With no hope of survival against overwhelming Cylon forces and with no true defensive capability remaining a handful of surviving Colonials flee the Twelve Colonies in civilian starcraft. Under the command of Adama on the Galactica, they head into deep space, searching for the Thirteenth Tribe of Man who are "on a shining planet known as Earth."

As the Cylons move into the Colonial worlds and round up prisoners they discover that surviving Colonials have fled to the stars. The Cylons Imperious Leader orders Baltar to finish his mission of destroying the Colonials. He provides Baltar with the necessary Cylon forces and ships to do the job. It is up to the crew of the Galactica to lead the Colonial survivors and the rag-tag fugitive fleet to safety while encountering new friends and foes, tackling internal strife and starvation, and outmaneuvering Baltar and the ever pursuing Cylon forces.

"Their are those that believe that life here began out there, far across the universe with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians or the Toltecs or the Mayans.

Some believe there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive, from far away, amongst the stars. or somewhere beyond the heavens.

Closing Narrative:

"Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the last Battlestar, Galactica leads a rag-tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest...a shining planet known as Earth."
