Using the Freelancer game engine developed by Digital Anvil and Microsoft, the Galactica 2.0 mod throws you into the BSG universe just as the Cylons have started their attacks on the 12 colonies.

Starting out as a lowly freighter escort pilot in a shoddy, old Viper mk.2 fighter that has clearly seen better days, you must embark on your journey throughout the Colony worlds. Do you stay and defend the colonies from endless attacks by the Cylons, or do you try and find the fleet and join them in their quest to find the mysterious 13th colony known as Earth?

Play as a trader, travelling from one colony planet to another, trading what little is left in the colonies to trade with while evading constant attacks from the deadly Cylons.

Play as a mercenary, doing missions for the various factions in the game, kill known terrorists, capture runaway criminals, destroy secret pirate bases.

Play as a miner, searching for resources to bolster your bank account but always evading the deadly Cylons who in turn need those resources as much as you do.

Fly the various ships from the BSG series, including the Viper Mk.II, Viper Mk.VII, Raptor, Colonial shuttle, Colonial One. See all the ships from the series make an appearance, the Battlestar Galactica, Battlestar Pegasus, Cylon Basestars, Cylon Raiders and many many more...
