Tigh, then Adama, join the Viper defense, using two of the sixteen reserve Vipers remaining. (All active pilots are engaged.)

[[Countess]] [[Sephoni]] [[Psionic|divines]] a singular weakness in the super basestar: a slight overlap in the basestar's shielding would allow a skilled pilot with a [[fusion missile]] to strike a fatal weak point. Unable to communicate this to the active Vipers, Apollo makes the logical decision of taking a Viper with the proper ordnance, despite his inactive flight status. Apollo makes his way through the fray, destroying many Raiders in his push towards the basestar. | [[Countess]] [[Sephoni]] [[Psionic|divines]] a singular weakness in the super basestar: a slight overlap in the basestar's shielding would allow a skilled pilot with a [[fusion missile]] to strike a fatal weak point.

Starbuck is able to break free of the fighting to cover Apollo. Starbuck fails in his attempt to take the mission from Apollo, as Starbuck's missile racks are expended. With Apollo the only properly-armed Viper in range, Starbuck covers Apollo by taking out four Raiders, while Apollo makes a run toward the vulnerability. | Starbuck is able to break free of the fighting to cover Apollo.
