'MISSION GALACTICA' AT 41: IN LOVE AND WAR!

Bringing him love, pleasure and beauty as a necessary counterpoint to the horrors and brutality of war of which his natural talents are such a part, Commander Cain finds and enjoys the warm solace of a returned Cassiopeia into his life, in this deleted kiss moment- a decision presumably ordered by the TV censor for the original two-parter The Living Legend, who may have deemed Cain to be too old to kiss her in front of younger prime time audiences!

'MISSION GALACTICA' AT 41: GALACTICA ATTACKED!

Briefly ignoring the direct retreat order of Baltar, the massive Cylon Assault squadron tasked with destroying the Galactica deals the Colonial vessel a mighty blow and 'A Fire in Space', thanks to two suicidal Raiders packed with explosives, one of which has hit the bridge area and seriously injured Commander Adama!

'MISSION GALACTICA' AT 41: CYLONS ATTACKED!

The Gamoray City command centre of Cylons and Cylon technicians takes a Colonial blaster beating from the now discovered presence of Starbuck and Boomer, in this great image used for promotional purposes with Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack.

CLASSIC IMAGE: THE REALITIES OF SURVIVAL!

Two great men with wildly contrasting leadership styles and viewpoints during a dark time for humanity. Nonetheless, the chemistry and friendship between Commanders Adama and Cain in their chalk and cheese relationship is another compelling ingredient to be enjoyed in The Living Legend.

'MISSION GALACTICA' AT FORTY-ONE!

Black and white advert for Mission.

The heroes of the Colonial Fleet (many of them looking unrecognisable - perhaps due to actors likeness payment issues, save for Lorne Greene, the major star of the series who had to be in the marketing) get ready for the Cylon threat ahead and above them, in this great poster art for the theatrical release of Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack, which celebrates its UK release Forty-First Anniversary this month.

Great May 1980 colour back page advert for the London release, as seen in MARVEL's Star Wars Weekly comic no less!

In London, the film, deliberately released to box office cash-in on the arrival of the first Star Wars sequel in theatres- The Empire Strikes Back, debuted in spectacular style at the Empire Leicester Square theatre (and opposite to the Odeon Leicester Square, which was exclusively showing TESB). And like the original Battlestar Galactica released a year earlier, Mission had the memorable 'Sensurround' treatment added to it- your seat and ear drums certainly feeling the effects of a Colonial Viper blasting out of its launch tube!
