When Starbuck enlists Apollo's aid in rekindling an old flame, their personal mission becomes embroiled in a life-or-death struggle for control of a battle-star ruled by the iron-fisted Commander Kronus. In "Take the Celestra,” Starbuck is unexpectedly reunited with Aurora, his long-lost love, during a Colonial government tribute for Kronus, a hard-nosed veteran of the emigrant space fleet. Aurora rejects her old suitor's renewed advances and, following the ceremonies aboard the starship Galactica, returns with Kronus to his battlestar, the Celestra. Starbuck and Apollo pursue Aurora as she returns to her home base, where a mutiny by freedom fighters and a power-hungry junior officer threaten the ship's command and endanger their lives.
