One of the nice things about the reimagined Battlestar Galactica is the idea of the Cycle of Time — that these events recur in variations of a theme throughout time. With that in mind, here’s a little something from the “Starships of the Universe” page from Facebook:
What if, instead of the Twelve Colonies, you start your campaign on Earth? Maybe see the settlement of the 12 Colonies or Kobol as the outcome of your crew fleeing the creation of vicious AI here on Earth (something alluded to at the end of the show?)
Maybe your “Battlestar” class space aircraft carrier Enterprise can lead a rag-tag fleet of cobbled together spacecraft looking for a new home..?

This post again reminds me of the enormous similarities between BSG and Macross. Aliens attack Earth and a small group of 70,000 survivors on board a space-based aircraft carrier have to persevere against incredible odds and eventually restart the human race.
Plus there’s this:

Are you suggesting that certain tropes get used and reused over and over again? Preposterous!
