==Background==


Understanding the threat of the new ''[[Jupiter (Deadlock)|Jupiter]]''-class [[battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]]s, Cylons decide to attack Picon to target [[Picon Fleet Headquarters]], the seat of [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)|Colonial Fleet]]s leadership. This is days before ''Jupiter''-class battlestar ''[[Athena (Deadlock)|Athena]]'', assigned to Picon as per the [[Articles of Colonization]], is set for delivery and deployment to Picon.

==Aftermath==
Rear Admiral [[Lucinda Cain]] assumes command of [[Colonial Fleet]] from ''[[Daidalos]]'', doubling both as the construction center for [[Project Jupiter]] and as the ad-hoc Colonial Fleet Headquarters leading the war effort against Cylon aggression. As she does so, Cylons also launch an attack on ''Daidalos'' and the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]] as it [[Flight of Daidalos|prepares to depart for Picon]] (''[[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock]]'').

==Notes==
* It can be inferred that the Cylons attacked Picon knowing that ''Athena'' was days away from deployment, and seizing a window of opportunity presented by its absence.
