During [[Laura Roslin]]'s removal from office and [[Saul Tigh|Colonel Tigh]]'s enactment of [[Wikipedia:martial law|martial law]], ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' Boarding Party 6, under Lieutenant [[Joe Palladino|Joe "Hammerhead" Palladino]] and made up of several [[Colonial Marine Corps|Colonial Marines]], was went to ''Gideon''. Civilians rioted and attacked the boarding party. The Marines opened fire and killed 4 civilians. | |||
The civilians aboard are protesting Roslin's removal from the presidency, the declaration martial law and the dissolving of the [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]], by hindering an effort to resupply ''Galactica''. During the protest, where coffee and other objects are thrown at the boarding party, the Marines hear what they think to be a gunshot. Believing that they are under attack, they fire into the crowd, until Palladino manages to weakly regain control of the situation after the damage had been inflicted ([[TRS]]: "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]"). | |||
Reporter [[D'anna Biers]] later hypes the incident as the "''Gideon'' Massacre", in the hopes that it will turn civilian opinion against ''Galactica'' ([[TRS]]: "[[Final Cut]]", "''[[The Plan]]''"). | |||
