On the last day of the first Cylon War, the colony Tauron was besieged by the Cylons who had apparent ground, air and space superiority.

With at least three basestars in orbit, the Cylons sent ground forces and Raiders onto the planet's surface. Colonial military ground forces engage in urban warfare with Centurions amidst bombed out buildings, trapping civilians (such as Helena Cain's family) in the crossfire.

During this midst of taking Tauron, the Cylons withdrew as they had signed an armistice. With their apparent superiority, it is likely that they would have conquered Tauron had this event not occurred ("Razor", extended version).
