Battlestar Galactica Quiz – Cylons, Vipers and the Fleet

Battlestar Galactica first aired in 1978, and Ronald D. Moore's reimagined series ran from 2004 to 2009. After the Cylons destroy the Twelve Colonies, the old battlestar Galactica leads a ragged fleet of survivors.

Commander William Adama, President Laura Roslin and pilots such as Kara Starbuck Thrace guide the fleet, which includes the president's ship, Colonial One. Vipers and Raptors defend it, and FTL jumps let ships escape attacks.

The Cylons include humanlike models who can hide among the crew, raising questions about trust and identity. The battlestar Pegasus later joins under Admiral Cain, and the fleet keeps searching for Earth.
