Title card from Battlestar Galactica's (1978-1979) opening credits.

Battlestar Galactica was the sci-fi television series created by Glen A. Larson (Knight Rider) and Leslie Stevens (The Outer Limits) chronicling the plight of refugees who flee their destroyed homeworlds, fleeing the Cylon tyranny in a rag-tag fleet on a fugitive quest, a shining planet known as Earth. Starring Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict and Lorne Greene, the series only lasted one season, but spawned a short-lived sequel and a longer-running re-imagining, itself spawning two "prequel" installments, Caprica and Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome.
