			== 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}}).

			== After-Action ==
			The Cylons recover Apollo and nurse him back to health for unknown reasons, providing [[Rescue of Apollo\|the opportunity for his rescue]] ({{comics\|doa\|3}}).

The creation of an [[alternate reality]] begins during an ambush of ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' and {{alt|the Fleet|TOS}} in a nebula humanity's survivors use to hide themselves.

== Original Outcome ==

Facing an overwhelming force of Cylons, whose approach has been hidden by the very nebula the Colonials use to hide within, Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS}} orders ''Galactica'' to bear the brunt of the onslaught while the civilian ships escape further into the safety of the nebula.

''Galactica'' develops major damage, forcing Adama to authorize {{alt|Zee}}'s deployment of the [[temporal warper]] weapons outfitted on two [[Temporal Viper|modified Vipers]]. Warriors {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} and {{alt|Starbuck|TOS}} are pulled from the flight line and assigned to test pilot the craft, with Zee giving them specific instructions that they each only have 10 shots before they need to recharge via a [[temporal battery]].

Understanding this, Apollo and Starbuck launch and test the weapon on two {{alt|Raider|TOS}}s, finding the results to be effective. Before they are able to deploy it on the attacking basestar, Cylon suicide attacks cause the temporal battery to overload and creates a [[temporal storm]] that only Apollo and Starbuck are able to weather ({{comics|vol2|1}}). In effect, this event spawns an [[alternate reality]] where ''Galactica'' was never built ({{comics|vol2|2}} & {{comics|vol2|3|short=y}}).

== Restoration Outcome ==

Following the [[Battle of Cache]], Apollo and Starbuck riding tandem in the remaining [[Temporal Viper]] are swept away into a [[temporal storm]], along with the forces of the [[Colonial Resistance]] of an [[alternate reality]].

With two capitol ships, [[Baltifer]]'s [[Baltifer's basestar|former basestar]] under {{alt-r|Adama|an alternate Adama}}'s command and an incongruous copy of ''{{alt-r|Galactica}}'' herself under the command of {{alt-r|Starbuck|an alternate Starbuck}}, and surviving Vipers from Cache's base, they are deposited in the primary reality.

Vulnerable due to the overload of {{alt|Zee}}'s [[temporal battery]], ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' requires an hour to restore the ship's systems while Adama reconciles the loss of Apollo and Starbuck's temporal weapon Vipers. Facing certain destruction, ''Galactica'' finds itself saved by the forces of the alternate reality, dispatching the Cylon attackers. This permits the timelines diverge, the alternate reality vessels returning from whence they came, and the reunion of Apollo and Starbuck with the rag-tag Fleet ({{comics|vol2|5}}).
