A risky play for power on the part of [[Lucifer]], the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] nearly catch battlestar ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' at a very vulnerable time near humanity's ancestral homeworld of [[Kobol]]. | |||
Nearly all of ''Galactica'''s | Nearly all of ''Galactica'''s [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] pilots had contracted an unknown illness, which forced [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] to call up a group of female [[shuttle]] pilots to be trained on Vipers. Their initial training completed, the female Viper squadron accompanied Adama down to the surface of [[Kobol]], where Adama hoped to learn the location of [[Earth]]. | ||
[[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]] met Adama on Kobol, and released [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] from captivity as a show of good faith. When Baltar remains on the surface too long without contacting Lucifer, the Cylon seizes his absence as an opportunity to gain power. Lucifer ordered an attack, hoping to gain the glory of having destroyed ''Galactica''. | |||
The female Viper pilots on the surface | The female Viper pilots on the surface scrambled to defend against the [[Cylon Raiders]], but their lack of experience in addition to being outnumbered left them in a dire situation. In the course of the fighting a Raider shot the [[Tomb of the Ninth Lord of Kobol]], freeing Adama, [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]], and [[Serina]]. The explosion that freed them also caused a large rock to fall on Baltar, pinning him. The other three are forced to escape, leaving Baltar to his fate. | ||
[[Salik|Dr. Salik]] | Just when things were looking hopeless for the [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Colonials]], the male Viper pilots report for duty. [[Salik|Dr. Salik]] had found a cure. They still weren't strong enough to walk yet, but they were able to fly their Vipers. They join the fray and their combined force was enough to drive the remaining Raiders away ([[Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II (TOS)|Lost Planet of the Gods]]). | ||
