Dynamite explores the characters and events that make up the re-imagined world of Battlestar Galactica.
TOM ZAREK
Tom Zarek was a political activist for more than 30 years before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies — a charismatic, eloquent and ideological political agitator who was incarcerated for destroying a government building on Sagittaron. His incarceration culminated in a trip on the Astral Queen, a FTL-capable prison ship; Zarek was under consideration for parole at the time of the Cylon attack.
GAIUS BALTAR
Gaius Baltar is to become both a brilliant scientist and the architect of humanity’s downfall at the hands of the Cylons. From his humble beginnings on Aerilon, to his rise to power within the Colonial Ministry of Defense in the days leading up to the Apocalypse.
WILLIAM ADAMA
William Adama began his military life in the cockpit of a Colonial Viper during the first Cylon War, and would end up as Commander of the Battlestar
Galactica during the Second Cylon War, as humanity fled the Cylons. His dedication to the Colonial Military cost him a marriage and his sons.
STARBUCK AND HELO
From her early days on the pyramid court to her military training and her eventual position as a flight instructor and viper pilot, Kara Thrace – callsign Starbuck – has left an indelible mark on all those around her.
Karl Agathon – callsign Helo – would go on to serve with honor aboard the Battlestar Galactica, but in his early days, he shared the court and the skies with Kara Thrace.
THESE ARE THEIR STORIES…
