Forty years ago the Cylons withdrew into the cold blackness of space. When the robots returned to attack their makers, the war was over in less than a day. Unlike the clunky "toasters" of old, these Cylons are sleek and deadly Centurions, graceful and terrible Raiders, and even some that look and feel completely human. Now the Cylons pursue a rag-tag fleet of ships carrying the human survivors across the galaxy. Standing between the humans and their deadly foe is only one military vessel - the war-scarred Battlestar Galactica.

The Quickstart Guide contains a preview of the full Battlestar Galactica Role Playing Game, with easy-to-learn rules, pre-made characters, and a short scenario that will allow the players to participate in the fall of Caprica, viewing it from a completely new perspective. Enjoy the game as a one-time experience or use it to launch a new series of adventures!
