The Occupation

Battlestar GalacticaOver four months after the Cylon occupation began on New Caprica and the Colonial fleet departed, the struggle between the Cylons and the resistance have turned into all-out war, with the insurgency hitting higher and higher profile targets. The resistance has paid a cost, however: Tigh has been taken prisoner, tortured and released only when his wife strikes a bargain with one of the human Cylons that she’s uniquely qualified to fulfill. There have been other setbacks: the growing ranks of the New Caprica Police have divided the humans and set them against each other, especially when those “peacekeepers” mask their identity. Starbuck has been taken prisoner by the Leoben Cylon, who traps her in a nightmarish domestic illusion that eventually grows to include a daughter grown from one of Starbuck’s own ovaries. Tyrol and Tigh await communication from the Galactica – but others are convinced that the fleet will never return. Indeed, Admiral Adama is biding his time to return (and awaiting communication from New Caprica), though he can’t seem to agree with his son, in command of the Pegasus, on how to rescue the rest of the human race.
