Coordinates [[Psionic|psionically divined]] by Countess [[Sephoni]] purported to be those of {{Alt|Earth|TOS-DE}} lead to the Colonial's introduction to the {{Alt|Cylon|TOS-DE|Cylons}}' [[super basestar]], a ship strong enough to eradicate {{Alt|the Fleet|TOS-DE|the rag-tag, fugitive fleet}}.

This marks the first encounter with the Cylons in two [[Yahren|yahrens]].

== Background ==
Cylons enact their plan to ensnare humanity by manufacturing [[psionic]] impressions of humans, which are sympathetically received by Countess [[Sephoni]] during her ten [[yahren]] separation from the {{Alt|the Fleet|TOS-DE|fugitive fleet}} ({{comics|1=doa|2=1}}-{{comics|1=doa|2=3|short=Y}}).

Following confirmation of these ersatz transmissions, Sephoni touches the mind of [[Xam]], a latent [[Delta-class telepath]] who languishes in a coma aboard the {{Alt|battlestar|TOS-DE}} ''{{Alt|Galactica|TOS-DE}}'' following the [[Storm Zone Ambush]] ({{comics|1=vol2|2=9}}, {{comics|1=doa|2=2}}). Arising from this communication, Xam relays the coordinates to her ship, ''[[Taurella]]'', to Captain {{Alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}} ({{comics|1=doa|2=1}}).

With Countess Sephoni and ''Taurella''<nowiki/>'s crew rejoining the Fleet, Commander {{Alt|Adama|TOS-DE}} authorizes an recon patrol to coordinates Sephoni believes are of Earth. This patrol is lead by his only surviving son, Major {{Alt|Apollo|TOS-DE}}, and two new {{Alt|Warrior|TOS-DE|Warriors}}, [[Zurel]] and [[Neats]].{{Tabnav|battles|comics=doa}}

-== Action ==
-As they enter orbit of a moon-size planetoid, Zurel reports a ping on his magnetic sensor—a {{Alt|Cylons|TOS-DE|Cylon}} [[super basestar]] with thousands of {{Alt|Raider|TOS-DE}}s in formation. Now aware of the trap they are ensnared, they attempt to flee.
-Zurel is quickly destroyed, with Neats taking out two Raiders on Apollo's tail. Apollo orders Neats to hit her [[Turbo|turbos]] before she herself is overcome.
-Apollo's contacts ''Galactica'' to report on the trap before his Viper receives damage, and falls towards the small planetoid ({{comics|doa|2}}).
