Starfleet rescues Battlestar Galactica & 220 Civilian Ships



U.S.S. Twilight received a distress call from a lost starship calling itself the "Battlestar Galactica." The Nova Class ship arrived just in time to save a truly HUGE ship from being utterly annihilated by three circular ships, just as large. Long range scans revealed that all of these ships were using outdated technology; their laser turrets wouldn't even penetrate a modern Starfleet ship's navigational shielding, to say nothing of combat shields. Short-range scans revealed something even more surprising: the Galactica was crewed by humans. From Earth. The attacking vessels had no lifeforms whatsoever, just machines. Our duty was clear. Calling Red Alert, our shields automatically were raised, and our Xb phaser arrays were at hot-standby. Tactical loaded both our forward torpedo tubes with quantum torpedoes (we had 10, the other 20 were standard Type-VI photon torpedoes.) The torpedoes weren't really needed; our phasers cut through those "cylon" vessels like a hot knife through soft butter. Also answering the distress call came Enterprise, Challenger, Defiant, and Ranger. Not that we needed the help, except for putting Galactica's fires out, and treating the wounded. In less than half an hour, we made short work of those cylons. Our engineering crews repaired Galactica, and got 221 vessels ready for tractoring back to Sector 001--Earth.
