'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: INTO THE SNOWY WILDERNESS!

Now departed from the wrecked shuttle, the cramped Snowram braves the intense weather and heads off towards the mountain range housing the pulsar cannon, but soon enough their long and dangerous journey is sabotaged by human greed and anger from one of the so-called 'specialists'.

Though filmed primarily in the Burbank studios, the overall journey sequence would be bolstered with some fine additional snow location stock footage from the Universal vaults, alongside eerie music from the series talented composer Stu Phillips.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: ATTACK FROM THE AIR!

As the Snowram exits the shuttle to take on the landing party, it soon comes under attack from a lone Cylon raider. As Starbuck mans the gun to destroy it (poorly represented with stock footage of the Cylon Basestar being destroyed on Carillon from Saga of a Star World!), he soon gets a surprise with the appearance of Boxey to congratulate him with his victory!

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: SNOWRAM STOWAWAYS!

"Muffit wanted to see snow.."

Charging up the Snowram, Apollo gets a shock when he discovers that Boxey and Muffey, prior managing to evade all of the likely security protocols on the Galactica, have amazingly stowed away in the vehicle, during the most dangerous mission the Colonial Forces have yet undertaken since leaving the destroyed colonies...

Lovely behind the scenes shot of Noah Hathaway and Richard Hatch during studio filming inside the Snowram at Universal Studios.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: SITUATION - CRITICAL!

Boomer checks on the injured Starbuck within the crashed shuttle.

Emergency lights soon activated, the Galacticans have survived the crashlanding on Arcta but only just, thanks to the piloting skills of a head-wounded Starbuck. Now the team begins to check on their wounded and equipment but know they will have to evacuate to the Snowram as soon as possible, what with the Cylons surely knowing their crashed position from the air.

Starbuck is soon consoled by Boomer than only his friend's piloting skills saved them from death.

Leda tends to the injured Vickers, of which Voight is also in need of medical help.

Wolfe and Thane try to help the injured Voight and keep him warm.

In the meantime, Wolfe has managed to secure a blaster from one of the injured warriors. Later, he and Thane confront Croft, whom they are disappointed in at his return to being loyal to his former jailers, over their plans to make a break from their captors as soon as they are able...

Unseen by the others Wolfe steals Voight's blaster.

A rare close-up look at a Colonial sidearm prop.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: CRASH-LANDING!

The Cylon Raider attack has crippled the Colonial shuttle. Nonetheless Starbuck's talents piloting skills alongside Boomer sees their vessel ultimately crash-land on Arcta.

A terrific behind the scenes shot of the crash-landed model landing in a pile of baking soda. Note a mask protected Richard Edlund handling the camera for the scene at Apogee.

As seen in the episode.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: KILLER FROM THE CLOUDS!

Having disappeared into the planet's cloud cover after the late Lt. Killian's Viper attack, a lone Cylon Raider now attacks the Colonial Shuttle, its accurate lasers soon penetrating its hull, causing chaos and injury inside and soon sending the human vehicle hurtling to the surface and a soon crash-landing on Arcta.

A hit!

The rear decompression begins!

The shuttle is violently hit - inside, the Colonial support team is soon injured as the vehicle begins plummeting from the clouds.

Oxygen masks are on as the Boomer and Starbuck try to control the approaching crash-landing.

"We're going down!"

The shuttle, now heading at speed to the surface.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: KILLIAN ATTACKS THE CYLON PATROL!

As the demolition team's shuttle dives for the cloud cover protection of Arcta, bold and experienced Viper pilot Lt. Killian holds off the attacking Cylon Patrol that has discovered their presence, ultimately destroying one of them before he himself is wiped out by the surprise firepower of the enemy pulsar cannon.

With skilled piloting, Killian (Richard Milholland) destroys a Cylon Raider.

And tears through the two survivors, before ultimately being destroyed by the pulsar weapon.
