[[TruceTrickery Ostensibly drawing up a truce]] with the Twelve Colonies of Man with the help of [[TheQuisling Count Baltar]], the Imperious Leader instead masterminds an attack on the Colonies, destroying their military and civilian populations, leaving billions dead across 12 planets. In an unpleasant touch, Imperious Leader has the jamming lifted just in time so the crew of the battlestar ''Galactica'' is ForcedToWatch their civilization be destroyed. Learning of the escape of many survivors, the Imperious Leader orders the extermination of whoever was unlucky enough to be left behind. When the refugees protected by the ''Galactica'' land on the planet Carillon, the Imperious Leader draws up a plan to destroy the warship and leave the rest of the humans to be fed on by his allies the Ovions before he's destroyed.

** Granted, there's little question that ''BSG'' was greenlit because of the huge success of ''Star Wars''; the Cylons look quite a bit like stormtroopers, SpaceFighter dogfights are common, and all the larger ships are covered with [[OffTheShelfFX greebles]]. Plot-wise, though, they ''are' fairly dissimilar. And, of course, Creator/GeorgeLucas hardly invented space opera.

** During the "The Long Patrol", no female guards are ever seen in Proteus prison. Though we see a few female prisoners. Which can lead to the rather [[WardensAreEvil uncomfortable]] question of how the guards were able to have children who would grow up to take their place as the next generation of guards...

** The singers from ''Saga of a Star World'' are astoundingly-realized full-prosthetic masks that hold up well even today, even if the four-eye, two mouth effect goes straight into the UncannyValley. And of course, that is partly the point.
