Armistice Station during the Miniseries

The Armistice Station is a remote space station, built with the intent of allowing both Cylon and the Twelve Colonies to maintain diplomatic relations after the Cylon War.

Annually, the station is manned by an Armistice Officer, who happens to be Boxey's father.

A few items of interest are visible on the officer's negotiation desk in the center room of the Armistice Station:

A photograph of Boxey
A photograph, presumably the Armistice Officer's wife and Boxey's mother
A document detailing the Cylon Centurian Model 0005 (sic)
A copy of the Cimtar Peace Accord

The Cylons ignored the overtures of diplomacy for 40 years. In their only visit, the Cylons destroy the station as the opening salvo of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.

The Armistice Station section of the Miniseries Analysis article discusses this peculiar circumstance.

-: <i>"The Cylons were created by Man. They were created to make life easier on the twelve colonies. And then the day came when the Cylons decided to kill their masters. After a long and bloody struggle, an armistice was declared. The Cylons left for another world to call their own. A remote space station was built where Cylon and human could meet and maintain diplomatic relations. Every year the Colonials send an officer. The Cylons send no one. No one has seen or heard from the Cylons in over forty years."</i>
