The '''capture of ''Galactica''''' is a near-catastrophic event during the early days of {{Alt|The Fleet|TOS-DE|the rag-tag, fugitive fleet}}.

== Planning and Preparation ==
Following {{Alt|Apollo|TOS-DE}}'s mission failure at [[Maytoria]], resulting in the crash of both Lieutenants {{Alt|Boomer|TOS-DE}} and {{Alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}}, the [[Maytorian IL]]'s forces capture Boomer and determines that it can use the misbegotten {{Alt|Colonial Warrior|TOS-DE}} as a means to root out the {{Alt|Sagittaron|TOS-DE}} forces from the planet. 

Planting a [[tracking bug]] on the Warrior's jacket, Boomer is subsequently allowed to be rescued by [[Stadra Ah Mun]]'s resistance force, who bring their injured compatriot to the resistance's stronghold: the basement of a bombed-out [[Maytorian trade center|trade center]] ({{Comics|vol1|2}}).

After the Cylons subsequently storm the stronghold and the resistance force learns {{Alt|Battle of Cimtar|TOS-DE|the breadth and depth of humanity's fate}}, Ah Mun and ''Galactica''<nowiki/>'s Warriors lead a perilous attack on the [[Central Command]], finding a [[Cylon personnel carrier]] being loaded and ready to launch. Led by Captain [[Freg]] and Lieutenant Boomer, the resistance forces storm the hangar and take the ship, despite seemingly heavy resistance. 

Unbeknownst to them, the Maytorian IL and platoons of {{Alt|Command Centurion|TOS-DE}}s lay hidden aboard, making the personnel carrier—with its less than 200 Maytorian survivors—a Cylon [[Wikipedia:Trojan horse|Trojan horse]], not only routing out the Sagittarons, but conceivably Commander {{Alt|Adama|TOS-DE}}'s {{Alt|the Fleet|TOS-DE|Fleet}} ({{Comics|vol1|3}}—{{Comics|vol1|4|short=y}}).

== Execution and Subsequent Failure ==
During celebrations in honor of the new survivors and the returned Warriors, the [[Maytorian IL]] and his troops board ''[[Galactica (TOS-DE alternate)|Galactica]]'' through the docked [[Cylon personnel carrier|personnel carrier]]. Their first victim, [[Stadra Ah Mun]], is shot in the back and dies in {{Alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}}'s arms ({{Comics|vol1|4}}).

Starbuck escapes the ambush in the corridor and returns to the lounge, informing Commander {{Alt|Adama|TOS-DE}} and Captain {{Alt|Apollo|TOS-DE}} that the ship has been boarded.

In [[core command]], Colonel {{Alt|Tigh|TOS-DE}} is shocked to learn that the Cylons have quickly and effectively targeted the main areas of ''Galactica''. The Maytorian IL, accompanied by a legion of Command Centurions, demands Tigh to order a "communciation's [[daggit]]" to open a communication's channel to the Cylons on Maytoria, killing an officer to make its point.

-With civilians aboard ''Galactica'' making their way to the supply vault, lead by {{Alt|Athena|TOS-DE}}, the surviving Warriors make it to their Vipers to defend the Fleet under Apollo's command.
-Adama then enacts his plan to be captured by the Cylons, allowing Captain [[Freg]] the time needed to find the munitions room, plant them aboard the Cylon personnel carrier, and reprogram {{Alt|Muffit|TOS-DE}} to control the detonation of said explosives.
-WIth this done, Adama is brought to core command before the gloating IL, and Adama activates ''Galactica''<nowiki/>'s [[self-destruct]] mechanism by voice command. Before the IL can order everyone's execution prior to their evacuation, Freg storms core command and forces the Cylons' hastily retreat back to their carrier.
-Upon docking on the lone basestar, the carrier's explosives are remotely detonated by Muffit, destroying the enemy basestar and allowing both ''Galactica'' and her convoy to make their successful escape through the [[Deltian Nebula]] ({{Comics|vol1|5}}),
