On the last day of the first [[Cylon War]], the colony of [[Tauron (RDM)|Tauron]] was besieged by a [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] invasion. Fighting was rampant and the Cylons appeared to posses air, space and ground superiority. | |||
It was during this operation that the Cylons finalized an [[Cimtar Peace Accords|armistice]] with the [[ | With at least three [[basestar (RDM)|basestar]]s in orbit, the Cylons sent ground forces and [[Raider (RDM)|Raider]]s onto the planet's surface. Colonial military ground forces engaged in urban warfare with [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|Centurions]] amidst bombed out buildings, trapping civilians (such as [[Helena Cain]]'s family) in the crossfire. | ||
It was during this operation that the Cylons finalized an [[Cimtar Peace Accords|armistice]] with the [[Colonies]], and instigated an immediate retreat from the surface of Tauron, as well as all surrounding space. In light of their apparent superiority, it is likely that the Cylons would have conquered Tauron had the ''Cimtar Peace Accords'' not been signed ("[[Razor]]", extended version). | |||
