During the pitched battle, Apollo and Athena work in tandem to organize the civilian ships' escape, while Sephoni divines a weakness in the super basestar's shielding that would allow a well-placed [[fusion missile]] to make its kill. Unable to communicate this due to Cylon jamming, Apollo makes the fateful decision to embark on his last {{Alt\|Viper\|TOS-DE}} mission to deliver the kill-shot.

			After making this kill, the basestar's explosion damages his Viper's controls, inexorably locking him into a collision course with a nearby star and sealing his fate. Outliving him are his father Adama and his sister Athena ({{comics\|1=doa\|2=6}}).
