Solar Flare: Science Fiction News

Teaser
In the furthest reaches of the galaxy, the Twelve Tribes of man prosper. Forty years after a war with the Cylons, a race of cybernetic warriors once created by man, there is peace. The Battlestar Galactica, the 50-year-old pride of the fleet, is being decommissioned and turned into a museum. It’s commander, William Adama, faces retirement.

But the peace of the Twelve Tribes is soon to be destroyed, as the Cylons launch a surprise attack and obliterate Caprica and the rest of the colonies. Their world in flames, Adama and the crew of the Galactica must give up the fight and escape the pursuing Cylons with what’s left of humanity — a ragtag, fugitive fleet of some 60 ships, who set out on a quest across the stars to find the legendary, lost Thirteenth Tribe of humans: a planet called Earth.
