Cimtar is a site intended for a peace meeting between Colonials and Cylons mentioned in both the Original Series and the Re-imagined Series.
| |||||
The Armistice Line was the border between Cylon and Colonial territories, drawn out by the Cimtar Peace Accords in 40 BCH (60YR). This line passed through star systems, near planets at points, and at times, breaching the armistice line proved to be tempting to some colonists for the purposes of resource exploitation.
Circa 6 BCH (94YR)[1], Commander William Adama of the battlestar Valkyrie was ordered by Admiral Peter Corman on a secret mission to reconnoiter Cylon space to evaluate the scope of their potential military operations. To do so, Adama sent Lieutenant Daniel Novacek in a Stealthstar over the Armistice Line, where Novacek was intercepted by a lone, unidentified enemy transient.
In a vain attempt to cover up the trespass, Adama fired a ship-to-ship missile at the now-stricken stealth craft, destroying it. Unbeknownst to Adama, Novacek had managed to eject from the craft prior to its destruction and was subsequently captured by the Cylons.
Up until the time of Novacek's return after the Second Exodus, and resulting interactions with Saul Tigh and President Roslin, Adama had believed that this trespass could have led to the Cylon attack against the Colonies (TRS: "Hero").

The Armistice Station Officer (also referred to as the "courier officer") is assigned to the Armistice Station, representing the Twelve Colonies in their long-dormant diplomatic relations with the exiled Cylons. He brings with him pictures his family, including a photo of his son Boxey, which he displays on the negotiation table.[1]
The officer is the first member of the Colonial Fleet to see the Cylons in over 40 years when two upgraded Cylon Centurions arrive at the station. They are accompanied by what appears to be a strikingly beautiful woman, a Cylon evolved to humanoid form. While the Centurions stand at attention, the woman asks the Colonial officer, "Are you alive?" When he answers "Yes," she tells him to prove it, and kisses him.
A missile launches from a Cylon basestar and strikes, shaking the station. The woman announces, "It has begun," then continues to hold him down and kisses him again, preventing him from escaping back to his shuttle.
Fleet Headquarters sends a general message requesting the status of all FTL-capable ships when the courier officer is overdue coming back from Armistice Station, just in case they need someone to jump there and check on him. Commander Adama has Lieutenant Gaeta reply that they are too busy with the impending decommissioning ceremonies to help (TRS: "Miniseries").
Unbeknownst to any human, the Armistice Officer is the first human to die during the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.

The Armistice Station is a remote space station, built with the intent of allowing both Cylons and the Twelve Colonies to maintain diplomatic relations after the Cylon War.
The station is manned on an annual basis by a Colonial armistice officer. The last armistice officer maintains a few items on the negotiation desk in the meeting room of the station, suggesting the isolated and unproductive nature of his assignment:
The Cylons ignore the Armistice Station and all overtures of diplomacy for forty years. In their only visit, a Number Six, escorted by two contemporary Centurions, boards the station and briefly interacts with the armistice officer, before the station is destroyed in the opening salvo of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies (TRS: "Miniseries, Night 1").
The Armistice Station features the seals of the two formerly warring factions above the base of its docking tube: the Cylons, indicated by a blue-green double-stroke pentagon (a nod to the design on Raiders from the Original Series); and the Colonial Phoenix seal with ring featuring two sets of prongs, e.g. "ears," a nod to the Original Series logos found on fire extinguishers and other medical equipment.
Of further note, the logos swap places between the Armistice Officer's shuttle docking sequence and when the station is destroyed by a missile from the Cylon basestar, thus beginning the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.
