Battlestar Galactica: 10 WORST Things To Happen In The Colonial Fleet

Toward the middle of Battlestar Galactica's third season, there is a new crisis facing the fleet: they are running seriously low on food. Several search parties are sent out to hunt down sources of nutrition for the remaining humans and one of them strikes gold. There is a planet that is rich in algae - but there is a catch.

There is an enormous dust and particle storm, full of deadly radiation, surrounding the planet. Most of the civilian ships don't have strong enough navigational equipment to make their way through. So, a plan is devised to use the Raptors from Galactica to help guide them through.

Kat is, at this point, one of the more experienced pilots in service. She is also struggling with her own demons, including recovering from a stimulant addiction and a life of crime that has followed her to Galactica.

This all comes together to play on her mind, letting her lose concentration at a crucial moment. This results in the loss of the ship Carina, while another ship - the Adriatic - is also lost in the storm.

The two ships are condemned to a death of radiation poisoning, and can only hope that it will be a quick process. Kat, consumed with guilt, goes back through the storm several times, leading to her own death from radiation poisoning.
