After a 40-year armistice in a war between the Twelve Colonies, the homeworlds populated by humans and the Cylons, human-created robots, the Cylons launch a surprise nuclear attack intended to exterminate the human race. Virtually all of the population of the Twelve Colonies are wiped out. Most of the human defense force is rendered ineffective and destroyed because Number Six, a Cylon in the form of a human woman, has seduced the famous scientist Dr. Gaius Baltar and exploited their relationship to introduce malware into the military computer network, rendering it vulnerable to a cybernetic attack.
