Battlestar Galactica

The Cylons, androids, have risen up against their human creators, the people of the Twelve Colonies of Cobol, with the intention of wiping out the human race. After a surprise attack they nearly succeed in this aim. Only about 50,000 humans remain, gathered in a rag-tag fleet. At the centre of this fleet is the only surviving colonial warship, the battlestar Galactica.
