'''Chapter Thirteen - Marathon''' is a ''[[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock]]'' story mission, also dubbed '''"Battle of Marathon"''' given that it occurs at [[Marathon]].
'''Chapter Twelve - ''Galactica''''' is a ''[[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock]]'' story mission, also dubbed '''"Battle at Caprica Terminal"'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> given that it occurs at [[Caprica Terminal]].


== Background ==
== Background ==


Following the recovery of the first [[Jupiter (Deadlock)|Jupiter]]-class battlestar, ''[[Galactica (Deadlock)|Galactica]]'' and its crew, [[Praetor]] [[Samanta Agathon]] provides jump data to [[Marathon (planet)|Marathon]]. Marathon is a rogue planet that ''Galactica'' and its crew, including its still-missing commander Admiral [[Jubal Sarkis]], were taken to.
Despite [[Chapter Eleven - Sinon Quade|breaking their word]] to [[Clothos]] by order of [[Lucinda Cain]], Clothos follows through with their part of the agreement to return ''[[Galactica (Deadlock)|Galactica]]'' and her surviving crew to [[Colonial Fleet (Deadlock)|Colonial Fleet]]. This redemption is staged at [[Caprica Terminal]], which has since fallen silent.  


Using this information, [[Colonial Fleet (Deadlock)|Colonial Fleet]]'s Admiral [[Lucinda Cain]] orders the first stages of an offensive strike against the Cylons' staging planet. First, they must clear the mustering point at Marathon before a final attack on [[Clothos]] and its command base, [[Avalon]].
== Arrival at Caprica Terminal ==


== Arrival at Marathon ==
A fleet commanded by [[Lucinda Cain]] jumps to Caprica Terminal twenty hours after the Terminal becomes silent, believing it to be a trap laid by the Cylons.


{{expansion}}
They find ''Galactica'' docked at the Terminal along with various derelict civilian crafts in the surrounding area. Launching a [[Raptor]] team with marines, the marines board the Terminal and establish communications with [[Praetor]] [[Samanta Agathon]]: she and the surviving ''Galactica'' crew are separated from their ship. Agathon advises that her crew needs time to board ''Galactica'' and leave the station.


''Pending''
Praetor Agathon's crew readies ''Galactica'' as a Cylon fleet jumps in and engage, while Agathon herself remains behind on Caprica Terminal to investigate something that they have come across. 


== Aftermath ==
As the Colonial Fleet's ships draw closer, they discover that the disabled civilian crafts have been rigged to explode like proximity mines. 


{{expansion}}
Colonial Fleet engages the Cylons about Caprica Terminal, with Agathon reporting that the Terminal itself has been used by the Cylons to create interference and false data in the [[IDRIS]] network to undermine navigational data throughout [[Cyrannus (Deadlock)|Cyrannus]].
 
''Pending.''


== Aftermath ==


With the clearence of Cylon forces over Marathon, the way is open for Colonial Fleet to strike at the Cylon battlestation Avalon with the Battlestar Galactica leading the attack on the station.
Colonial Fleet thwarts the Cylon trap, destroys [[Caprica Terminal]] in order to prevent [[IDRIS]] from being further compromised by the Cylons, and successfully recovers ''[[Galactica (Deadlock)|Galactica]]'' and her surviving crew.
