'War of the Gods' (Part 1) (Story Code '50921 ') by Glen A. Larson

Soon after the Colonial fleet is plagued by strange glowing lights that fly through the ships at great speed, a fleet of Colonial Vipers suddenly vanishes without trace. Concerned for the safety of the fleet, Commander Adama sends Apollo, Starbuck and Sheba to investigate; the trio follow the trail to a war-torn planet, where they discover the remains of a wrecked spaceship, and encounter a mysterious and charismatic humanoid who introduces himself as Count Iblis. Apollo, Starbuck and Sheba return to the Galactica with the Count, who quickly proves to be extremely popular amongst the population of the fleet. However, it is not long before Iblis’ popularity poses a threat to the authority of Commander Adama...
