What if the Battlestar Galactica came to Earth at...

Post by StarshipTitanic »

1200 BC (just because :D)?

400 AD?

1500?

1800?

1900?

1945?

This year?

Just imagine that they'd send down a Viper or two to each major population center they found. What would happen? How would the world change?

Oh yeah, assume the Cylons are 100 years behind them each time.

What was the Cylons fleet strength relative to Galactica's? Any time before 1900, and there is pretty much no hope of the Earth being of any real use, and its kind of debatable after 1900 too.

They are never going to get earth up to a level to defeat the cylons unless theyarrive around 3000 AD

Cylons to Earth:
You can thank the Galactica for leading you to your Doom.

Thanks

400 AD? Still fucked.

1500? Same as 400 AD

1800? Same as 400 AD

1900? Surprise, we're still fucked when Cyclons.

1945? Maybe have a chance.

This year? Maybe have a chance.
