			== Aftermath ==

			During the intervening peace, Tanner retired from the military for a time with the belief that the peace in question was false, and was a sign of merely "giving up."

			He is later brought out of retirement by [[the Admiralty]], who provide Tanner with intel on a new Cylon construct of unknown purpose. On the assumption that the construct was a staging ground for a first strike, Tanner and the Admiralty commissioned a clandestine mission to search behind the [[Armistice Line]]. This mission was assigned to ''{{alt\|Valkyrie}}'''s pilot, {{alt\|Daniel Novacek}}, who piloted a new [[stealthstar]] reconnaissance craft to acquire further details. However, this mission turned badly, and the stealthstar was destroyed at {{alt\|William Adama}}'s order — Novacek survived and was captured by the Cylons (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Cylon War 4]]'').

However, this action has unintended consequences that transpired unbeknownst to Tanner, leading to the {{alt\|First Cylon War}} (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Cylon War 2]]'').

			The escalation lead to the deployment of [[nuclear weapon]]s, demonstrating humanity's lack of willingness to pursue other alternatives to Isak. In turn, Isak lead the Cylons against their creators at the [[Battle of the Sagittaron Bellarias]]. That battle ended the Caprica-Sagittaron Conflict and segued into the [[First Cylon War]] (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Cylon War 3]]'').

			== First Cylon War ==

			Under a new unified force of the {{alt\|Twelve Colonies of Kobol}}, Tanner is assigned as Caprican representative to the [[War Council of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol]]. Promoted to Admiral of the [[Caprican Armed Forces]], he became the Council's chief strategist against the {{alt\|Cylons\|RDM}} threat.
