Battlestar Galactica

"'This has all happened before, and it will happen again.' --Leoben"

Battlestar Galactica (abbreviated to BSG) is a TV series about a group of humans trying to find a new home after their old one was destroyed by Cylons. Cylons are robots created by humans to act like slaves. As a result they rebelled and nuked humanity. Now the 40,000 or so people who managed to survive join up in a "ragtag fleet of ships". Led by William Adama, the commander of the Galactica, they try to discover Earth.

In Fanfiction
BSG has quite a pile of fanfic on The Pit, and Lily Winterwood has recently uncovered a few Mary Sues to worry about. She is currently forcing her Agents to switch to the BSG fandom to spork them all.
