The bulk of the Colonial military is lured into a trap by the promise of peace, only to find themselves and the {{alt-r|Twelve Colonies of Man}} in a fatal trap ({{comics|vol2|3}}). | |||
[[ | After 1000 [[yahren]]s of [[Thousand-Yahren War|war]], the humans of the Twelve Colonies vie for peace with Lord {{alt-r|Baltar}} acting as diplomat. The peace is to become official at [[Cimtar (TOS)|Cimtar]],<ref>The signing never takes place. In the [[Re-imagined Series]], a [[Cimtar Peace Accord|peace accord]] was signed at a place known as Cimtar, but this should not be confused with its Original Series counterpart.</ref> a moon believed to be neutral territory. Instead of peace, the Cylons launch their largest onslaught ever against the Colonials. The Cylons use a two-pronged attack, striking at both the peace delegation (including the [[Battlestar (TOS)|battlestars]]) as well as the Twelve Colonies. | ||
Cylon fighter groups of [[Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raiders]] hide near the Cimtar moon in wait for their chance at attacking the battlestar fleet. The [[basestar (TOS)|basestars]] are left free for bombardment of the Colonies. | |||
In an [[alternate reality]] where {{alt-r|Galactica|a battlestar named ''Galactica'' was never built}}, President {{alt-r|Adama}} survives the attack only through the efforts of Commander {{alt-r|Tigh}}, who sacrifices his life in the process ({{comics|vol2|3}}). | |||
{{alt-r| | Following this event, two noteworthy factions harass the {{alt-r|Cylon Empire}}: a [[Colonial Resistance]] lead by Adama himself, and a motley crew of pirates lead by {{alt-r|Starbuck}} ({{comics|vol2|3}} & {{comics|vol2|4|short=y}}) | ||
