Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is a turn-based strategy and tactics game developed by Black Lab Games, released in 2017 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Set during the First Cylon War, the game follows Rear-Admiral Lucinda Cain as she takes command of the Colonial Fleet following a devastating Cylon strike that wipes out High Command on Picon. Players operate from the mobile shipyard Daidalos, managing fleet construction and deployment across the Cyrannus star system while maintaining the fragile unity of the Quorum of Twelve. Tactical space combat plays out in full 3D under a pausable simultaneous-execution system, where players issue orders to capital ships ranging from Manticore corvettes to Jupiter-class Battlestars, supported by Viper squadrons and Raptor scouts. Enemy threats include Cylon Raider formations, Basestar missile barrages, Centurion boarding parties, and electronic warfare from Wardriver fighters. A 1v1 multiplayer mode and battle replay tools round out the package.

The deadlock is suddenly broken by a surprise attack from the Cylons and the brutal annihilation of the Colonial Fleet High Command on Picon. The fate of mankind is now resting on the shoulders of Rear-Admiral Lucinda Cain. The secret, cunning plan she has conceived could turn the tide of the war forever…
