Battlestar Galactica Cast

Having destroyed the attacking Cylon raiders, Hot Dog is rescued by a Viper patrol; but with no sign of Starbuck, Apollo immediately takes the Viper fighters out on a search party. Meanwhile, Starbuck has managed to survive the fall through the dense, poisonous atmosphere of a nearby moon, and her parachute has enabled her to make a crash-landing on its barren, inhospitable surface. But with a seriously injured leg and a dwindling air-supply, she realises that unless she can find a way off the planet soon, her chances of survival are slim. Back at the fleet, Number 6 warns Baltar that with the Vipers away searching for Starbuck, the Galactica and its accompanying civilian vessels will be vulnerable to a Cylon attack; Baltar informs President Rosen, who becomes extremely concerned over the potential threat. On Caprica, Helo and ‘Boomer’ are attacked by two Cylons; Helo deals with the creatures, but in the confusion, ‘Boomer’ is abducted. Against the recommendations of Colonel Tigh, Adama insists that the search for Starbuck be maintained; however, the President then arrives on the Galactica and orders that the search be abandoned, arguing that Adama has allowed his personal feelings to place the lives of everyone in the fleet at risk. Back on the desert moon, Starbuck discovers the wreckage of the Cylon Raider that she shot down, and begins making repairs so that she can get the bio-mechanical vessel off the ground. But even if she succeeds in finding her way back to the fleet, how can she stop her fellow Viper pilots from shooting down an apparent enemy ship?
