[[Galactica type battlestar|Battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' jumps ahead in a location in space known as NCD2539 which is used by the Cylons as a supply route. | |||
Having recently taken several infected Cylon agent prisoners from a sick Basestar, Admiral [[William Adama]] intentionally visits this area to hopefully lure Cylon forces, including a [[Resurrection Ship]], into the area. The Colonials intend to kill their Cylon agent prisoners, whose consciousnesses would download and infect the Cylon populace with a human virus with a bioelectric pathogen that would effectively annihilate the Cylon race. | |||
Before long, two [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raiders]] jump into the vicinity ahead of the Cylon Fleet to scout. Upon noticing Galactica, they jump back to report and soon bring their fleet in tow consisting of five basestars and a Resurrection Ship. | |||
Galactica in turn launces multiple Vipers and Raptors alike, with the latter firing an open salvo of multiple missles into the Cylon Raider swarm. | |||

*In this engagement, [[Raptors]] are shown loaded to the teeth with weapons systems. In the past ([[Miniseries]], [[The Hand of God]]), Raptors have rarely been depicted in actual combat, preferring instead to hang back while coordinating battlefield logistics. They have been shown armed in a few prior episodes ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]], [[Fragged]]), but this is by far their most prominent combat role to date. The Raptors are using the external missile pods and cannons introduced in "[[Exodus, Part I|Exodus, Part I]] & [[Exodus, Part II|II]]" and engage in the same maneuver used to launch the decoy drones during the Battle of New Caprica. | |||
