MURDER ON THE RISING STAR
When his archrival Ortega ends up dead after a public confrontation during a Triad game, Starbuck finds himself falsely accused of his murder. Convinced of his friend's innocence, Apollo must work with the only man that can clear his name: Baltar

GREETINGS FROM EARTH
An alien spacecraft is discovered by Starbuck and Apollo on patrol. It contains six human fugitives in suspended animation - possibly from the planet Earth. Tension amongst the fleet at the prospect of brethren from Earth rises. In time, the humansare revealed to be from Terra, a colonial-like world. They are journeying to Paradeen (a nearby colony world) to escape the threat of the Eastern Alliance, a Terran faction with a ruthlessness akin to the Cylons. Starbuck, Cassiopeia, and Apollo finish the journey with the Terrans, hoping to find clues to the location of Earth. But the Eastern Alliance pursues the ship to Paradeen, where more troubles ensue.
