Colonial nukes are weaker than B5 due to the fact that colonial nukes are fission based where B5s are fusion based.2nukes from the Lexington destroyed the black star where colonial nukes could take as many as can still kill civilian ships and could damage or destroy a white star.

Short but sweet like the story thank you for writing

I have truly enjoyed reading your story wish it had been longer though but those are the breaks thank you for writing

Another reason for the colonials making hundreds of jumps verses Starbucks much fewer total would be. The fleet is trying to escape the cylons and given the cylons have better jump drives running in a straight line would be foolish and so they would have to make jumps along random vectors possibly sometimes near doubling back on themselves so in three dimensional space this equates to hundreds of jumps but relatively little distance travelled, so Starbuck travelling in a straight line would require very few jumps to get back to the colonies.

Just remembered another comment I wanted to make last time I read the story but didn't end up doing... What would happen if the BSG people were to use their drives in hyperspace? Personally I'm of two minds, and four opinions. one that could do irreparable damage to the hyperspace Lane, two that the two are incompatible and their drives simply won't function in Hyperspace. Three the drives work as do in normal space allowing the effects to build off each other ( a two day trip accomplished immediately as they can target the becon at the other end) or four it has an unexpected result like Stargates mirror drive or the Red Dwarf hop drive...

Second read-through, I had forgotten about the section when I read it the first time and I wanted to comment now before I forget again. Could the argument then be made that an alternate of the Stargate universe could also be crossed with a story in the future? Or did you just use the Ori and the Alterrens as a handy narrative device?

First thing I thought when I saw the names crop up was 'I wonder where the mirror device is?'

This is astonishingly poorly written. Like just fundamentaly bad.

Why would Marcus destroy the raider if it made no hostile moves. Cylons aren't his enemy, he doesn't even know about them. He wouldn't destroy another ship just because a stranger say so in a broadcast not even meant for him.

This is 35 chapters of mostly exposition with no dramatic arc and incredulously "noble" BSG characters, which do not fit the portrayal of the series proper. The string of successes is utterly unbroken, and thus, it ends up as what amounts to a grossly bloated prologue to something else that MIGHT be interesting. This isn't a crossover story. This is something you put in a paragraph in front of a crossover to explain how it happened.

Discovered this story yesterday morning and blew through it. I rather enjoyed it, especially when Shakiri bamboozled the Cylons. I assume that the resolution of the viper prophecy will be in the sequel. Nice to see more survivors being rescued and more ships recovered too.

Interesting Story

Discovered this story a few days ago and spent these days reading this story as fast as I could.

Well done! Excellent work. I enjoyed it immensely.

This is exposition after exposition, it's rather annoying.

I like this story, but this has a lot of unnecessary exposition.

Well, it looks that you have ended two fairly massive stories one after the other. I look forward to seeing what you write next. It is a real transition to go from being an adult child with elderly parents to an adult orphan. It doesn't so much change the way you love your life as it changes the way we think. Mortality is real for us in ways it was not before, and we start taking a good look at our bucket lists. Maybe thinking of how we have changed the world through the way we lived our life. Heavy stuff.
Do know that you have changed the world by what you write... even if it by 2 parts per billion. You say yes to the Universe. Thank you for doing that and encouraging others to do so too.
