You know I am redesigning my Traveller campaign that is set in a alternative BSG setting universe. Unlike the less than fantastic ending to the new show BSG...I have decided to take a different approach.
Drawing from Traveller 2300 basic setting, I am saying that the BSG and RTF (Rage Tag Fleet) of (200) FTL ships with little over 100k civilians actually found our Earth in the mid 2200's era. The 13th Tribe (us) had discovered some wrecks that crashed on one of the moons of Saturn and rediscovered man's true history. The ships did not have FTL tech, so the ships that they have were for in system travel only. Travel to other systems would be only possible by sleeper/cryo-sleep ships.
So when the BSG and RTF finally reach the Sol system and Earth, they encounter the 13th tribe whom except them. The BSG is then refit and technolog from the two cultures is merged together. Some 50 years latter the united culture of Earth have merge completely both cultures into one united culture.
Earth fleet consists of (12) Battle groups with a Armored Battlestar based off the former BSG. The humans of Earth manage to design improved Armor Plating, Pulse Lasers, Plasma Cannons, and Force Shields. Now each BG (Battle Group) consists of a BattleStar, Hvy Cruiser, (2) Cruisers, (6) Destroyers, and assorted other fleet vessels that are all FTL capable.
The Earth system of Sol has many colonies on Luna Earth's moon, Mars, and many of the moons on many of the systems other planets. Also many of the surrounding solar systems also have colonies in them as well. The players within my campaign are Fleet officers assigned to Scouting division of Earth fleet. They are assigned to exploration.
Now the Cylons in my campaign setting like the Old show are the machines of a dieing Alien race. They look like the Old Cylon Centurians and the New Cylon Centurians and I also draw from Terminator as well too. When they attacked the Colonials Home Worlds they used numbers and many Terminators. Well the BSG and RTF managed to escape the pursuit of the Cylons, but at campaign start then found the Earth Fleet.
They attacked the Sol system but are driven off with the supperior firepower of the Earth Fleet vessels. In the Cylon's drive to locate the surviors BSG/RTF they didn't really improve their own technology very much. Thet still have numbers, but the humans have supperior firepower on their side. Thus is game start.
Now that is the type of thing that would be awesome to see designed and written for a game world.
Just my 2 cents and idea is all.
