We need to recap this first. Battlestar Galactica Before we get into the real story it’s based on, tragedy strikes. At the beginning of “Act of Repentance,” pilot Flattop completes his thousandth deck landing, and the other pilots come down to the hangar to congratulate him. Everyone is so busy celebrating that they don’t notice the drone break free of its restraints, and after its motors fire, it flies into Flattop and the pilots around him, exploding, killing 13 of them.
