Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are on a mission to find and capture Separatist leader Count Dooku, but the wily ex-Jedi makes good his escape. Kenobi and Skywalker follow and are able to damage Dooku’s ship, forcing it to crash land on the planet Vangor. The Jedi soon follow as their ship is also damaged. On the planet surface, Dooku and the Jedi find themselves at odds with each other and the native inhabitants of the planet. This includes a band of pirates who come upon Dooku and take him prisoner. But will their actions ultimately help the Jedi, or just throw them off their guard?

Awaking to find themselves in the prison cells of the pirates, Obi-Wan and Anakin also find that they are bound by energy cords to their fellow captive, Count Dooku. While pirate chief Hondo Ohnaka plans out his next move, his underlings are making plans of their own and they don’t include Hondo. They down the ship carrying the Republic envoy and plan to ransack it for the ransom it carries. The leader of the team, Senator Kharrus, is killed in the crash, putting Representative Jar Jar Binks in command. Dooku and the Jedi must try to work together to escape, while Jar Jar and the clones do all they can to rescue them.

Anakin and Ahsoka are on a mission to aid Jedi Aayla Secura, who is under heavy attack by Separatist forces.  They board Aayla’s ship and manage to escape before it is destroyed, but Anakin is severely injured in the process.  While making their getaway, the Republic ship bearing the Jedi is accidentally set on a course into the heart of a star.  A desperate gamble leads to a crash landing on the planet Maridun, where the Jedi and their clone troops will have to survive a hostile environment if they can ever hope for aide or rescue.

The Colonial Fleet arrives at Earth – the constellations match, the planet and its sun are where Starbuck’s signal said it would be. And the planet itself is a charred cinder, a haven of life laid to waste by nuclear weapons over 2,000 years ago.

For many in the fleet, including President Roslin, all hope is lost – this is the last straw. Many shirk their duties and others, like Dualla, simply commit suicide. As morale plummets, even Admiral Adama finds his resolve, and his will to live, faltering. President Roslin stops seeking treatment for her cancer and can face neither the Quorum nor the press. Lee finds himself having to step up to the plate to address everyone’s fears in their darkest hour…but even he can’t imagine how he, or anyone else, can hold the fleet together now. On Earth, Starbuck makes a very disturbing discovery: the wreckage of her old Viper, complete with a charred skeleton in the cockpit, wearing her dogtags.

The Cylons make startling finds of their own; the entire planet is littered with the skeletal remains of the race that once lived there – the 13th tribe of the Colonies – but the skeletons aren’t Colonials: they’re Cylon. Tyrol, Anders and Tory discover that they have memories of lives on Earth, thousands of years ago. Tigh discovers repressed memories too – and with them, he discovers the identity of the last of the final five.

The fleet tries to recover from the blow of both the discovery of a barren Earth and the heavy emotional toll, with the hunt beginning anew for a habitable planet for both Colonials and Cylons. The rebel Cylons demand full citizenship in the fleet, offering their technology – namely much more powerful FTL drives – in exchange. But some aren’t keen on the idea of the Cylons gaining citizenship and a seat on the quorum, and Tom Zarek is among them. Since President Roslin has gone into hiding following the Earth debacle, Zarek is effectively running the government, and sees no reason to grant the Cylons’ wish. When the tyllium mining ship – which carries the fuel supply for every ship in the fleet – tries to break off from the rest of the fleet, Admiral Adama orders his crew to board the ship and force the Cylon tech upgrades, while Zarek tells the ship’s crew to run for it. Adama, unconcerned that his actions might look like a military coup of the government, has Zarek arrested; the tyllium ship is found and boarded. Even below decks, the peace is tenuous – Baltar’s sermons have become rambles, demanding that God explain what has happened, while Tyrol makes a discovery about his son that rocks him to his core.

When the Republic loses contact with their troops on Orto Plutonia, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are sent with their troops to learn what has become of them. They find mass destruction of not only the clones, but also a Seperatist droid base, leading the Jedi to conclude that they are dealing with something other than Seperatist activity. Chairman Cho, leader of nearby Pantora is more concerned about maintaining Pantora’s sovereignty over the planet. The Jedi must determine the nature of the hostile force on Orto Plutonia and whether they have a claim to the planet stronger than Pantora’s.

Having thrown his lot in with Tom Zarek, Gaeta assembles a team of Galactica crew members whose discontent with what Zarek calls the “Roslin/Adama administration” has reached a boiling point; they smuggle Zarek out of Galactica’s brig and off the ship. Gaeta’s position in CIC allows him to cover for Zarek’s departure until the vice president is once again safely ensconced aboard Colonial One. But as the hub of communications between CIC and the rest of the fleet, Gaeta is also able to squash Lee’s demands to know how Zarek returned to power, and Starbuck’s warning that the armory has been broken into. Marines loyal to Zarek and Gaeta take over CIC, escorting Adama and Tigh away and putting Gaeta in command of Galactica. Lee returns to Galactica and is promptly abducted by Gaeta’s forces, but only Starbuck – and her utter lack of remorse on the issue of putting rounds through people she has served with for years – saves him. Their first task after that is to find Roslin and rush her to safety – namely, Baltar’s religious enclave, where she hopes to use his radio in the absence of Galactica’s own communications systems. Tigh and Adama prove to be quite adept at getting themselves out of trouble, and they’re already armed and free by the time Lee and Starbuck find them. Roslin’s message to the fleet is enough to confuse the issue of who’s in charge and buy time for her escape. But a few other members of the crew stay behind to cover Roslin’s (and Baltar’s) escape, and retake the ship – and Adama and Tigh are among those who refuse to give up without a fight.
