2012

The first Cylon war has been raging for 10 years and a young Ensign William Adama joins the fleet.

Their cargo is a civilian scientist, but they no sooner leave than she has new orders for them and a new destination. Although she’s less than forthcoming about the details, Adama is keen—particularly as it involves going into Cylon controlled space. However, nothing is as it seems.
