Here's how I see the Federation - Galactica meeting ...

A Galactica Raptor FTL's to a distance star system for recon. Sensors go wild they scan the closest planet. It seems there are humans. Lots of them. Millions of them. There are what appear to be habital satelites in orbit and many small ships, probably shuttles and transports, can be seen scurring around the planet going to and fro.

Is this a huge colony of Cylons? But they've never seen Cylons like these. Never seen ships quite like these. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a huge ship suddenly appears ... much too close to the Raptor. Their small ship is tossed aside, warning lights flash, helm is gone. The ship begins to tumble wildly in space. Decompression warning is announce by the onboard computer. Destruction is imminent. The crew of the Raptor, knowing they are about to die, feel a peace about them. They feel as through they are having an out of body experience. This must be what death is -- a peacful passing into another world.

Meanwhile, back on the Galactica, things are not going well. Four days before one of their Raptors had gone missing. Now the Galactica's FTL drive has failed, leaving the entire fleet stranded in some distance star system. Worse, the Cylons have found them. Eight base stars form a ring around the rag-tagged fleet. Fighters are being launched but aren't attacking yet. It seems they are savoring a bit the final destruction of the human race.

The Galactica launches all Vipors. Adama orders all ships who can to FTL away. Unfortuantely, there is no time to compute new coordinates. This will be their final stand.

On the bridge of the Galactica, Petty Officer Dualla shouts, "I'm picking up multiple readings on sensors. I've never seen readings like this before. They could be incoming ships but ... ".

Before she can complete the Cylons launch their attack. Hundreds and hundreds of nuclear missles are launced from the base stars and fighters. The entire Galactica fleet will be gone in one glorious burst of light.

Then something strange happens ... ships appear which are different than any they've ever seen before. Not fighters but Captial ships. A dozen of them. They appear between the Galactica fleet and the Cylons. Missles from the Cylons don't actually strike these ships. Instead, they seem to detonate before reaching the ships. These new ships begin firing what looks to be some kind of laser, destroying the remaining missles as if they were swatting harmless flies.

The Cylons, not able to compute just how disadvantaged they are, immediately swing about and start firing directly at these newcomers. Once again their attack fails hopelessly. They begin to press their attack again.

Suddenly, the Galactica's comm system picks up a message being broadcasted on all channels from the new fleet. "Cylons, this is the United Federation of Planets. Cease your attack. We will not let you harm these humans." The request for peace is met by another wave of attack from the Cylons.

Suddenly these new comers start to fight back. The speed and agility of their ships is awesome in the view of the Galactica fleet. Their lasers and missles slice the Cylon fleet into oblivion. All the base stars are quickly destroyed. A few fighters are able to FTL out but most are destroyed.

On the bridge of the Galactica, there is stunned silence. A few minutes before they were ready for the after life. Now they seem to have new life. Perhaps they should be joyful but the uncertainty of these new comers leaves them on edge.

Suddenly a new message comes from the newcomers. This time it is directed at them. "Battlestar Galactica. This is Jean Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise. Representing the United Federation of Planets. We've come to assist you."

Note: and they live happily ever after. In case you didn't pick up on it, that "out of body" experience was the crew of the Raptor being beamed off right before their ship was destroyed. They informed Star Fleet of the situation. Fortuantely, the Federation had a fleet in the sector who could rapidly respond.

At that exact time A Huge ship appears out of empty space. A deep voice echos through all the federation and glactica ships.. "We are in control Surrender and you will live.... I speak for the Emperor.... I am Darth Vador.... your new master.... Then the Imperial crusier begins to lauch ships against the tiny fleet.... Meanwhile another cylon Base star encountered the BORG and are joining forces....

Figures that Q would show up?
