Operation Clean Sweep was a Colonial Fleet operation that took place some time prior to Ensign William Adama's posting to Galactica during the First Cylon War.

Despite attempts by the Colonial government to put a positive spin on the operation, Cylon forces were able to deal a significant blow to the Colonial Fleet. Comments made by Captain Armin Diaz to Ensign Adama suggest that the loss of Operation Clean Sweep cut especially deep into the Fleet's supply of Raptor pilots (Blood and Chrome).

-==Battle and Aftermath==
+Despite attempts by the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Colonial government]] to put a positive spin on the operation, [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] forces were able to deal a significant blow to the Colonial Fleet.  Comments made by Captain [[Armin Diaz]] to Ensign Adama suggest that the loss of Operation Clean Sweep cut especially deep into the Fleet's supply of [[Raptor]] pilots (''[[Blood and Chrome]]'').
-The exact details of the battle are never fully discussed, however as a result of the operation the Colonial Military attempted to put a positive spin on the failed military action.
-Or, as summarized by Captain [[Armin Diaz]] to Ensign [[William Adama]], "I'll break it down for you like this: the brass makes it seem like Operation Clean Sweep lived up to its name, but someone forgot to give the [[toasters]] that memo. They're taking down our planes right and left, and right now I need [[Raptor]] drivers more than I need [[Viper]] jocks."
