An unusual phenomenon strikes the Colonial fleet as unidentified luminescent objects – which could be vessels or might be life forms themselves – meander among the ships of the fleet. This celestial event becomes less innocuous when a wing of Vipers disappears into the vacuum of space without a trace. Apollo leads a search and rescue mission, but all his team finds is an enigmatic man named Count Iblis. He returns to Galactica with them, and immediately begins winning powerful friends among the Colonial fleet…and swaying opinion away from Adama. Adama sends his son back to the planet from which Iblis was rescued to confirm a suspicion, but the Count doesn’t seem to want any investigation into his past – and proves his point by killing Apollo.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

All hell is literally breaking loose aboard Galactica. Count Iblis is revealed to be a legendary creature known in Earth lore as the Prince of Darkness, but he has already won the respect and admiration of the Council of Twelve by capturing Baltar and handing him over to them. Only Adama and his closest friends stand against the powerful being – and Adama pays for the struggle when he learns of Apollo’s death at Iblis’ hands. When another immensely powerful race of creatures arrives, calling themselves the Seraphs, it dawns on the crew that they have become pawns in the holiest war of them all…one which they may not survive.

Two strange arrivals coincide almost suspiciously – the arrival of a man claiming to be Starbuck’s father, and a group of Borellians enlist to join the ranks of Galactica’s Viper pilots. What no one suspects is that the man insisting that Starbuck is his son is a con man – and the Borellians are hot on his trail. But will the evidence be uncovered before Starbuck sacrifices his life for someone he believes to be his father?

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Starbuck is accused of murdering an old rival after the two get into a fight over a card game. The warrior insists he had nothing to do with the death, but tests reveal that his laser was the murder weapon. Apollo and Boomer try to clear Starbuck’s name, and unveil a web of deceit that Starbuck’s supposed victim wove to ease his own conscience. The deceased was far from innocent, but the new evidence may not be enough to save Starbuck.

Starbuck and Apollo visit the Colonial ship Celestra, where Starbuck hopes to mend fences with an old girlfriend. But the two warriors are caught off guard when Starbuck’s old flame is accused of treason – and all three are embroiled in a mutiny in progress. Aurora has, in fact, been working against Commander Kronos, whose dictatorial command has made life aboard the Celestra intolerable for its shipboard population. By the time the power struggle aboard the Celestra becomes apparent to Adama or anyone else outside the ship, Apollo and Starbuck may be declared traitors to the Colonial fleet as well.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Troy, Dillon, and the juvenile members of the Colonial fleet’s population await the all-clear from Galactica while they hide from local authorities. Not only has Dillon inadvertently engaged in a massive transgression of the law, but Earth’s polluted air and water may be more of a threat to the Colonials than the Cylons are.

Xavier, the corrupt member of the Council of Twelve who tried to introduce Galactica’s technology to Earth’s past, avenges his thwarted takeover by sabotaging Troy and Dillon’s Viper. Xavier’s next targets are the Colonial children, still sheltered on Earth – and making very public use of their unusual abilities.
