	The Battle of Djerba took place after a Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)\|Basestar]] jumped into [[DRADIS]] range of ''[[Osiris]]'' while in orbit of [[Djerba]]. ''Osiris'' was on assignment to drop off Dr. [[~~Beka~~ Kelly]] to rendezvous with a spec ops marine recon team, that had previously been dispatched to the moon. ''Osiris'' has time to retreat and jump back, but Commander Ozar makes the decision to engage the basestar, to draw the Cylons away from the landing party.

	''Osiris'' takes heavy damage immediately, which destroys the missile bay doors holding the ships nuclear stockpile, preventing the crew from launching the warheads at the basestar. The next hit on ''Osiris'' completely destroys her starboard engine nacelle, sealing her destruction. Rather than let the ship be destroyed in vain, Ozar orders the ship to ram the basestar, after which, she manually detonates the nuclear warheads, destroying both ships, with the loss of all hands.
