| == The Path to Earth ==
| |
| | |
| Commander {{TOS|Adama}}, Captain [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Serina]] explore what may be the city of Eden in hopes of finding information on the lost colony known as [[Earth (TOS)|Earth]]. The [[Tomb of the Ninth Lord of Kobol]] is located within its remains.
| |
| | |
| This city is further damaged by a [[Battle of Kobol (TOS)|Cylon attack]] from {{TOS|Baltar}}'s forces in the form of a [[Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raider]] phalanx, as ordered by [[Lucifer]]. This attack prevents Adama from gaining much information on Earth's whereabouts as the stonework that told the exodus crumbles, and any further investigation was abandoned due to the Cylon presence {{OS|Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II}}.
