The story
The story sees the player taking control of either a human or a Cylon space craft, which they then have to use to fight their way through the hordes of ships piloted by players from the other team.
The Cylons were originally created by the humans, but after years of servitude they evolved and rebelled against the humans. The game begins 40 years after a war that has left the human fleet decimated and the Cylons building on their success. The humans must make it from the outer reaches of the solar system back to planet earth before the Cylons get enough power to destroy them forever.
Within the game there are a number of different characters that the player will come in to contact with on both sides. For the humans the leader is Admiral Adama, who is in charge of the Battlestar Galactica itself, as well as the father of Lee Adama, one of the other main characters.

Other important characters are Six and Eight, who are both adept at fulfilling their roles to devastating effect.
