CLASSIC IMAGE: MED-TECH BEAUTY!

Still wowing us with her acting talent and beauty, the lovely Laurette Spang poses as the equally warm Cassiopeia for another classic publicity image taken during the mid-series point, likely around the time of The Man With Nine Lives.

BEHIND THE SCENES: VIPER TRAIL!

Making the most of all the effects filmmaking talent at their disposal, refining their past work seen with Star Wars, and creating all new ideas and techniques, the Apogee team would bring Galactica to spectacular life for the small (and big) screen, as seen here with the unique Colonial Vipers fuel blasting into action and battle.

BY THE LEADER'S COMMAND!

Reporting the latest news on their ultimate victory against humanity, an impressive looking lone Cylon Centurion is received by the Imperious Leader, in a great image from Saga of a Star World.

LOSING THEIR ONLY DEFENSE!

It's life pods to the ready as all the Viper squadron pilots are taken out by a mystery disease brought back to the Galactica by Lt.s Jolly and Boomer. Dr. Salik is working to isolate the infection's cause, but who will meantime defend the fleet from future Cylon attacks?

A tense scene from fan favourite, Lost Planet of the Gods.

CLASSIC ART: THE UNIVERSE OF 'GALACTICA'!

A rare and intriguing piece of official Galactica series/cast art that I've never seen before, credited for use by ABC TV for publicity. If anyone knows anymore about it, or who the artist was, please get in touch...

'MISSION' AT 45: THE SPACE FIRE FIGHTERS!

With time running out, Apollo and Starbuck begin a desperate mission outside the Galactica.

With the fire raging out of control within the Galactica, and critical systems about to extinguish, a bold plan, from the mind of the injured Adama, sees Apollo and Starbuck in spacesuits line the hull of the Battlestar's hull with explosives at key points, so as to detonate and flood the shop with the vacuum of space. The plan, though hugely dangerous, proves a success and the fire is put out, but not before Starbuck makes a daring space leap to rescue his friend during the mission's final phase.

Loaded with explosives, the space suit wearing Apollo goes to worl.

Starbuck lays his own separate charges across the vessel.

Setting the Solenite charges.

Starbuck makes a rescue leap to the now out of control Apollo.

The explosions are a success and the fires inside are soon put out.

Our heroes, now in space, are soon rescued by shuttle, thanks to the observant Sheba in her Viper.

As Adama recovers from touch-and-go surgery in the Life Station, our heroes ponder with hope that Cain and the Pegasus might have survived their battle with the Cylon Basestars...

We hope you've enjoyed our coverage of Mission: Galactica - The Cylon Attack in it's 45th Anniversary...

'MISSION' AT 45: COMBATING AN INFERNO!

International lobby card of the dramatic scene.

Now the sole protectorate of humanity once again, the Galactica's skilled and heroic fire-fighting teams are losing their battle to fan out the huge, out of control flames that have engulfed much of the interior of the Battlestar following on from the Cylon kamikaze attack. All hands are out to protect the vessel's power energisers area, especially whilst Commander Adama is undergoing major surgery at this critical time within the beleagured Life Station, under the skilled hands of Doctor Salik.
