Netflix’s synopsis of the series goes: “Astronaut Niko Breckenridge (Sackhoff) leads a crew on a mission to explore the genesis of an alien artifact. As she and her young crew investigate, they face unimaginable danger on what might very well be a one-way mission.”

Sackhoff played Lieutenant Kara “Starbuck” Thrace on Battlestar Galactica, which aired on Sci Fi, as Syfy was previously known, from 2004 to 2009.
