'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...

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: THE ATTACKS BEGIN!


The time has come as the Colonial attacks on the garrison and the pulsar weapon begin simultaneously. Apollo, Croft and Leda take on the heavily guarded pump area of the weapon and destroy the Cylons. They soon begin priming their solenite explosive charges on vital points of the weapons control areas.

A fine action sequence, accompanied by great incidental music from Stu Phillips.



Apollo's aim hits true every time!



Leda and Apollo lay charges as Croft stands guard.


The many charges are placed...
