Colonel {{TOS|Tigh}} informs Commander {{TOS|Adama}} of incoming [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] forces, possibly from a [[Basestar (TOS)|basestar]] they encountered 10 centars ago. [[Blue Squadron]] is launched. As Tigh and Adama study the [[scanner]], they come to realize that they face a major attack rather than a mere combat probe. All squadrons are launched, and ''Galactica''{{'|s}} compartments are sealed to protect against hull breaches. The {{TOS|Viper}}s engage a huge number of [[Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raiders]], which are not fighting back.  The Vipers are destroying Raiders at will in numerous quantities, but two Raiders slip through the rain of Viper fire. One Raider heads toward ''Galactica''{{'|s}} bridge, which closes its protective [[Defensive shields|shield]] in defense.  {{TOS|Apollo}} and [[Sheba]] close in and appear to destroy the Raider with laser fire. However, the destruction of the Raider occurs too close to the bridge, which suffers heavy damage, suffering explosions, fallen girders, and shattered glass. {{TOS|Starbuck}} tries but fails to destroy the other suicidal Raider. It successfully rams ''Galactica''{{'|s}} port [[landing bay]], causing massive explosions and damage throughout the ship.
