Aft damage control: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:39, 1 April 2008

The Aft Damage Control room presumably controls shipboard bulkheads, vents, and other life-sustaining aspects on Galactica. In the event of fire or other hazards, the room could be used to adjust controls that manage fires or prevent smoke and other toxins from permeating the remainder of the ship. It is likely that this room is used only if the command crew in CIC are dead or incapacitated, or unable to perform the D.C. task from CIC's Damage Control station.

Colonel Saul Tigh knew from experience that the use of such damage control rooms was a Cylon Centurion boarding tactic (Valley of Darkness). By gaining control of these rooms, a Cylon could vent the atmosphere of a battlestar into space, suffocating the crew, or open bulkheads and airlocks to eject the crew into space. The Cylons would also attempt to control Auxiliary Fire Control to use the battlestar's own batteries against other Colonial ships--in this case, to fire on the civilian Fleet.

Captain Lee Adama and others are able to stop two Centurions from accessing Aft Damage Control while other crew elsewhere are able to stop the assault on Auxiliary Fire Control (Valley of Darkness).

Notes

In a deleted flashback scene from "Valley of Darkness", Saul Tigh trades stories from the Cylon War with William Adama, and reveals where he got his knowledge about the Cylons' tactics. When Tigh served on the Brenik Centurions boarded the ship and a vicious battle for its control ensued.
