The Farthest Ones from Home
Many of us love to hate the “reimagined” BATTLESTAR GALACTICA series which aired on the Syfy Channel a few years back. The series started out with much promise in Seasons 1 and 2, but then seriously went off the rails in Seasons 3 and 4. In particular, we hated the ending…finding out that the Earth was an uninhabitable radioactive hellhole and the Thirteenth Tribe were in fact a race of Cylons who had destroyed themselves thousands of years before the arrival of the Colonial fleet on Earth. And worse yet, being told all this happened over 150,000 years ago, and both the humans and the Cylons of BSG were the distant ancestors of modern humans.
No, what we really wanted was for the Colonial Fleet to find OUR Earth…or better yet, a stronger, more technologically advanced version of it. An Earth like the one shown in the 1990s television series, SPACE: ABOVE AND BEYOND.
Well, if we can't see it on screen, we can at least read about it with this story by robertp6165! See what happens when the Colonial Fleet jumps into the Procyon system and encounters the U.S.S. SARATOGA and the 58th Squadron of United States Marine Corps Space Aviator Cavalry…the Wildcards!
