67	!! Recurrent tropes in the franchise:
68	* SpaceCossacks: In both the [[Series/BattlestarGalactica1978 1978]] and [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 2003]] versions, the remnants of the Twelve Colonies flee to Earth in a rag-tag space fleet who SurvivedTheBeginning. On one occasion, the fleet has to ration supplies because resources are extremely scarce when you are running from a Robot Empire.
69	* SurvivedTheBeginning:
70	** ''Series/BattlestarGalactica1978'': Billions are killed in the Cylon attack but once safely away, the fleet manages to avoid substantial losses for quite a while.
71	** ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': Helo was supposed to die, having been left behind on Caprica, but the [[EnsembleDarkhorse fandom took a liking to him]], and he showed up in the series as a main character.
72	* TruceTrickery:
73	** ''Series/BattlestarGalactica1978'' opens with the Twelve Colonies celebrating a peace agreement between themselves and the Cylons, only for the Cylons to suddenly attack amidst the celebrations, killing most of humanity.
74	** ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': The Cylons have had a peace treaty with the Twelve Colonies for forty years, but without warning they launch a massive attack that kills all but a few tens of thousands of humans who escape on ships.
