Impatient with the [[Galactican Fleet]]'s inability to lead the Cylon battle fleet to [[Earth (1980)|Earth]], the [[Imperious Leader]] orders an '''attack on the Fleet's [[Agro Ship|agricultural ships]]'''.

Despite Galactican interception by [[D Squadron]], the Cylons are successful in destroying all the Fleet's agricultural ships, forcing them to begin an agricultural colony on Earth ([[Space Croppers]]).

== Analysis ==

The Cylons use only regular {{TOS|Raider}} craft for the attack and not the [[A-B Raider]]. This may indicate that the Cylons either did not believe it necessary for the A-B Raiders to be deployed in this mission, or that the A-B Raiders are few in number. 

== Notes == 

* The footage depicting this battle is reused from {{OS|The Magnificent Warriors|prose=Y}}. 

* Chronologically, this is the final battle depicted in ''[[Galactica 1980]]''. The last depicted battle in ''1980'' belongs to [[Battle near Planet Starbuck]] from {{G80|The Return of Starbuck|prose=Y}}.
