Im a bit confused, lorewise.

I have seen the show, long time ago.
But the game is about the first or second war? 1st right?
If the is the first, how come Galactica is lost/disapered?
Did not the first war start with butchering Caprica?
And what happen to Picons Athena, how come Picon can not defend the selfs when they have apperetnly a ship, a Battlestar. No words after we deliver it that it get destroyed, so why are the cry for help?

It's based on the first war. The 2nd war started with the surprise attack on Caprica. Galactica is brand new and just happened to disappear on her maiden voyage. About the Athena, Idk

It's indeed the first war. The first war started when the Cylons rebelled against the Colonials. There was no instant nuclear fire like in the second war, it was a more "conventional" war.

About Galactica's disappearance, it's actually part of the game's campaign plot.

The Colonies each retain their own ministries of defence, which is where Athena went. However, by the Articles of Colonization, the Colonial Fleet is obligated to provide assistance to all colonies. It's possible that Picon never engages Athena in direct combat for fear of losing her. A bit like Tirpitz, which was useless for a large part of the war.

I wouldnt' get to hung up lore-wise. The developers had to make a playable game first, then it was secondary to ensure everything matched up to lore.

Its all 2005, its just the 2005 show took elements from the original and put it into the first war.

This all takes place before Blood and Chrome, Adama probobly hasn't even enlisted yet tbh.

This game takes place in the very begining of the First Cylon war, Blood and Chrome the end, and BSG 2005 the 2nd Cylon war.
