Lt. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace prevents a potentially deadly face-off between the battlestars Galactica and Pegasus when she returns at the last second from her unauthorized mission in the blackbird stealth fighter, bearing stunning recon photos of the Cylons“resurrection” ship.

Unable to resist this tempting target, Commander William Adama and Admiral Helena Cain establish an uneasy truce as they agree to prioritize the destruction of the resurrection ship, and table their personal and professional conflicts – for now.

Adam remains distrustful, however, when he learns that Cain’s survive-at-all-costs attitude led her to order the Pegasus crew to abandon its own civilian fleet months ago. Disturbed by this news, President Laura Roslin suspects that, as soon as the resurrection ship is destroyed, Cainwill jettison Galactica’s civilian fleet as well.

As he continues his power struggle against Cain, Adama must make an impossible decision, onthe eve of a battle that could change the face of the Cylon war and decide the fate of the human race.
