Editing Fall of New Caprica

[[File:NCFall.jpg|right|thumb|Cylon Centurions march through New Caprica City.]]
The '''Fall of New Caprica''' occurs on the 380th day after colonization of [[New Caprica]], when a massive [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] fleet, attracted by a [[Cloud 9|nuclear detonation]] a year before, suddenly appears within the nebula that hid the barely-habitable planet from normal means of detection.

At the time of the attack, both the ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' and ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', both severely understaffed as a result of many crewman choosing to muster out in favor of settlement, have difficulty remaining combat-ready. Realizing that they are severely outgunned, Commander {{callsign|Lee Adama}} of ''Pegasus''  urges Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] to order the orbiting remainder of the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] to [[FTL|jump]] to escape coordinates.

Reluctantly, the Fleet retreats to an unknown location. As waves of [[Raider]]s and [[Heavy Raider|Heavy Raiders]] fly over [[New Caprica City]], [[Caprica-Six]], [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Sharon Valerii]], and a [[Number Five]] copy enter President [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar's]] office to indicate their intent to occupy the colony.

Faced with no choice, Baltar formally surrenders to the Cylons as waves of [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]] enter New Caprica City while a stunned population looks on. [[Kara Thrace]] and [[Galen Tyrol]] immediately vow to [[New Caprica Resistance|resist]] the Cylon occupation. {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II}}.
