Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock/Chapters 1-4 (Tutorial)


 * After Virgon buried their nukes, the leaders of the Twelve Colonies promised we would never see war of that scale again. Peace would reign in our lifetime, and the lifetimes of our children.


 * They could not have predicted the Cylon rebellion, less than thirty years later. The worst conflict in Colonial history, and we are at a stalemate. No foothold gained that isn't lost again within weeks.


 * The Jupiter project was supposed to be our ace in the hole. The largest, and most powerful battlestars ever created. Each of the Twelve Colonies were promised one, in return for signing the Articles of Colonization.


 * The first, Galactica, was Caprica's crowning glory. It went missing two weeks after deployment.


 * Athena, the fifth ship, belongs to Picon. We were days away from delivering it when we heard the news.


 * Picon's capital cities were devastated by Cylon assault fleets; among them, our own Colonial Fleet Headquarters. There was no chance to intervene.


 * Command of Colonial Fleet has fallen to Rear Admiral Cain. Our mobile shipyard, Daidalos, has become the adhoc fleet headquarters.


 * As Cain's XO aboard Daidalos, you have been promoted to Operations Commander of the entire Colonial Fleet.


 * Cain intends immediate retaliation for the attack on Picon. The War Room awaits your arrival, commander.
