The Cylons use a two-pronged attack, striking at both the peace delegation (~~including the [[Battlestar (TOS)~~\|~~battlestars]]~~) ~~as well as the Twelve Colonies~~.		[[Baltifer]]'s pursuit of the renegade, incongruous ''{{alt-r\|Galactica}}'' leads them to the system containing [[Cache]], the homebase of the [[Colonial Resistance]] in an [[alternate reality]] ({{comics\|vol2\|4}}).

	~~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~~.		Upon arriving in Cache's system, {{alt\|Starbuck\|TOS}} activates the homing beacon on his [[Temporal Viper]] to home in on {{alt\|Apollo\|TOS}} and the [[Q-Cache]]. With this direct link established, [[Baltifer's baseship]] seizes the inopportune moment to jump in using its newly outfitted [[temporal warp drive]].

	~~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}})~~.		While ''Galactica'' is able to use its [[sensor shield]] to prevent its detection, the Resistance base has the misfortune of an active beacon that allows Baltifer to identify the location of the base despite the nearby supergiant's sensor interference. From that point, Baltifer deploys a second temporal weapon, the [[chronal cannon]], using it to convert the planetoid's tectonic plates to a historic, seismically unstable configuration.

	~~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~~}})		{{alt-r\|Adama}} and Apollo surrender themselves to Baltifer, conveying themselves to his baseship in Apollo's Temporal Viper, in return for Baltifer's word that no further [[temporal weapon]]s are to be used against Cache. On a technicality, Baltifer reneges on the deal, using standard weapons aboard {{alt-r\|Raider}}s instead ({{comics\|vol2\|4}}).

	~~==References==~~		This second wave of attacks is staved by Apollo's willingness to lead Baltifer to his home reality, and {{alt-r\|Zee\|Doctor Zee}} uses the Viper's data to recreate the [[temporal storm]] through the firing of the re-attuned chronal cannons. As Apollo flies into the eye of the storm, ''Galactica'' launches its attack against the basestar with both its standard arsenal and the [[signal disruptor]]. This allows Adama to seize command by killing Baltifer, and forcing Zee to release the human prisoners aboard, effectively retaking the baseship and using the basestar's batteries to wipe up the remaining Raiders.
	{{~~reflist~~}}
			However, the temporal storm erupts, moving the surviving participants of the battle into the reality from whence Apollo and Starbuck came ({{comics\|vol2\|5}}).

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}}).

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}})
