'MISSION' AT 45: THE CYLONS OF GAMORAY!

A diversity of Cylon technicians, drones and ranked Centurions gather en mase on Gamoray for the inauguration of their technologically advanced city by the beloved Imperious Leader, unaware that it will soon have the pogees blown out of it by the enthused Viper forces of the Galactica.

The Cylon control centre and its occupants are swiftly destroyed by the blaster and explosive skills of Starbuck and Boomer.

Various Cylons gather on the city concourse...

As seen in an international lobby card.

... before its strafed by newly arrived Colonial Vipers!

'MISSION' AT 45: WELCOMING THE IMPERIOUS LEADER!

The Imperious Leader (voiced agains by Patrick Macnee) addresses his robot minions.

It's an auspicious occasion for the Cylons of Gamoray as the latest version of their Imperious Leader (once more voiced by British icon Patrick Macnee) arrives on that world to officially dedicate and celebrate their newly created base and the planet's vital and significant position in the Cylon powerbase.

The Leader will soon be shocked by the destruction wrought to the city by Colonial Warriors!

In a deleted scene sequence, the two IL Series Cylons discuss the Cylons' destruction of the Delphinians but managed to keep their city buildings intact, notably the great hall they are currently in. They also discuss the Cylons ongoing war efforts across the universe (clearly, the Cylons have other enemies beyond the humans whom they wish to destroy), and the last attack by Cain and his warriors on the city, of which clear-up operations have only just been completed before the arrival of their Imperious Leader.

Cylon IL civilians discuss the event.

A Gold Command Centurion heralds their leader's arrival at the space dome.

The Imperious Leader walks to his podium, watched by his fellow Cylons.

'MISSION' AT 45: INSIDE THE CYLON CITY!

As Apollo's covert assault team begins planting explosives across key areas of Gamoray city, Starbuck and Boomer begin their interior search for the enemy control centre that also needs to be neutralised prior to Viper air assault. Incredulously, their current locale is seemingly deserted, our duo unaware that the Cylon's Imperious Leader has now arrived at the base for an important gathering...

In a deleted scene, Starbuck and Boomer follow the Gold Centurion and his guards to the command centre from the audience chamber corridor, once the Colonial bombings of the city have started.

Dirk checks his script between shooting action scenes.

A US TV/celebrity magazine covers Dirk Benedict enjoying Starbuck's new all-black combat outfit, during The Living Legend's location filming.

'MISSION' AT 45: THE GAMORAY ASSAULT!

A Cylon Centurion patrolling the city of Gamoray is soon taken out by the parachuting Colonial Assault Team.

As our small but deadly Colonial Assault Team lands via parachutes on Gamoray, they swiftly take out a Cylon patrol before splitting up on their missions to destroy the Control Centre's anti-assault batteries and detonate nearby fuel bay areas so as to generate maximum chaos and confusion before the Galactica's fuel shuttle force arrive.

A Colonial Shuttle makes a fast journey to Gamoray where our heroes parachute to the surface. The night shot of the city was previously used for Caprica in Saga of a Star World.

Posed publicity of Laurette Spang and Richard Hatch in their black combat outfits.

Surely one of the hottest posed pictures of Sheba and Cassie ever!

Bojay is injured whilst dealing with a lone Cylon.

CLASSIC IMAGE: CRISIS MANAGEMENT!

Things are getting hotter and more dangerous for the small but efficiently deadly Galactica ground force penetrating and sabotaging the Cylon defences of their city on Gamoray. Unfortunately, experienced combat veteran Bojay has taken a blaster hit and must now be group escorted to the safety of a soon arriving Colonial shuttle, in this scene from The Living Legend, Part Two.

CLASSIC IMAGE: STARBUCK THE DESTRUCTOR!

Starbuck loves nothing better than wiping out Cylons, and now he gets the chance to wipe out hundreds of them, and within one of their greatest cities on Gamoray, in this scene from part two of The Living Legend. 

A great image used for the French promotion of Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack in cinemas during1979/80

'MISSION GALACTICA' AT 41: IMPERIOUS LEADERSHIP!

The Cylon city of Gamoray's special status within the Empire is given an additional worthy boost by the presence of an impressed Imperious Leader. Impressed, that is, until the explosions start!

It was nice to hear Patrick Macnee once more voice the Imperious Leader, and see the important enemy villain in the reptilian flesh (and walking no less!), in both The Living Legend and Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack.

'MISSION GALACTICA' AT 41: DEMOLITION MAN!

He may be hip deep in Cylon-ville - their outer capital world of Gamoray, but nothing's going to stop Starbuck from blowing the Pogees out of it, in this great image taken on location for The Living Legend/Mission Galactica.

'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: MEDTECH WARRIOR

Looking after the injured Bojay whilst explosions and chaos are erupting all around her within the Cylon city world of Gamoray, a nervous Cassiopeia keeps her blaster ready, in this scene from The Living Legend Part Two.

CLASSIC IMAGE: A DIFFERENT KIND OF STREET CROWD!

Going out into the nighttime cityscape of Gamoray, a group of Cylon Centurions and robotic civilians have no idea what's going to happen to them, in the second part of The Living Legend. A scene filmed on the UNIVERSAL backlot/office areas.

CLASSIC IMAGE: RUNNING OUT OF TIME...

With Cassiopeia electing to stay with the injured Bojay, Apollo and Sheba must race against the clock in continuing their assault mission on Gamoray, in Part Two of The Living Legend.

This excellent sequence (whose parachute arrival sequences was later used as stock footage to an episode of Airwolf, no less!) would be enjoyed by the cast who were doing part of their action-packed night shooting at California Sate University at Northridge, Los Angeles. This same location would also be used for futuristic Star Fleet Academy locations in the 2009 Star Trek movie from J.J. Abrams. 

CLASSIC IMAGE: BATTLE-READY APOLLO!

Deep in the heart of Cylon territory, Captain Apollo is ready for two-blaster wielding action, in this great posed image for The Living Legend Part Two.

BEHIND THE SCENES: GETTING READY FOR ACTION!

Dirk Benedict gets ready to film an exterior night-time scene for part two of The Living Legend, in this rare 1979 shot.

CLASSIC IMAGE: COMMAND CENTRE INTRUDERS!

Deep within the command centre of the Cylon city of Gamoray, a Cylon Centurion looks up to discover Colonial Warrior infiltration, in a soon battle scene from part two of The Living Legend.

DELETED SCENE: PEGASUS HEROES...

In their cool combat outfits, Sheba and Bojay, out to secure the fuel dumps within the Cylon City on Gamoray, prepare for action, in this rare image- a scene I don't actually recall seeing on-air, from part two of The Living Legend.

With thanks to the Sheba's World website for the image.
