An '''unnamed ice planet''' at the "ass end of nowhere" is a base of operations for the [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylon]]s during the [[First Cylon War]].

Rumors amongst the Colonials indicate that this ice planet houses a superweapon, since it houses an impressive amount of defenses: three [[Raider (RDM)|Raider]] wings, ground forces, nuclear weapons ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 1) and at least two [[basestar (RDM)|basestars]] ([[TRS]]: "Razor Flashbacks," Episode 3).

The events of [[Operation Raptor Talon]] occur in orbit of this planet, as does the destruction of the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Columbia (RDM)|Columbia]]'' ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 3).

When Adama crash lands on the planet, he discovers a grounded basestar and several warehouses. In one of the buildings he finds a laboratory, where the Cylons experimented on humans they abducted from civilian vessels. Unable to free the survivors, he leaves the building when the basestar takes off ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episodes 4 through 7).

Over 40 years later, Adama realizes that this was a base where the Cylons created the [[Hybrid]]s by experimenting on humans.  The [[first Hybrid]] was on the [[Guardian basestar|basestar that escaped]] and the crew of that ship were the only remaining original Centurions left as the other Centurions were created non-sentient. The ship that escaped is destroyed by a strike force from ''{{RDM|Pegasus}}'' with a nuke in the [[Battle of the Guardian Basestar]] {{TRS|Razor}}.
