The Battlestar Prometheus also acknowledges other great organizations with the Prometheus name such as the Battlestar Prometheus SIM and the Battlestar Prometheus Chapter of the Colonial Defense Forces fan club. Ryan has 'tipped the hat' to the SIM by refering in one episode to the Original Prometheus as the Fleet Training Vessel and to the C.D.F. by writing a story titled "The Battle of Caprica" which details the original Prometheus and Galactica's heroic stand against the Cylons during the Original Cylon War. (This story stars all of the current members of the Prometheus Chapter of the C.D.F.)

Story
Edit
Battlestar Prometheus begins 18 months before the fall of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. President Richard Adar, looking to secure his place in Colonial History, dispatches the newest and most powerful Colonial Battlestar, the Prometheus, under the command of Commander Jonathan Turner, on a long range exploration mission to seek out new worlds to colonize. What isn't known to the general public, however, is that he has also given secret orders for the Prometheus to find the lost 13th Tribe of Kobol and locate their new home... the fabled planet Earth.
Along the way Prometheus make astonishing discoveries, including, an entire space fairing civilisation. Following its return to the twelve colonies it leads the war against the agents of death themselves, the Cylons!
