This is a small battle between [[Viper (TOS)|Vipers]] and [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raiders]] for two [[Cylon freighter (TOS)|Cylon Tankers]] taking place near [[Gamoray]] shortly after the reunion of the [[Pegasus_(TOS)|battlestar Pegasus]] with the [[Galactica_(TOS)|battlestar Galactica]] and her civilian fleet. | |||
==Planning== | ==Planning== | ||
A meeting of | A meeting of the commanders ([[Cain (TOS)|Cain]] and [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]]) is convened and a plan is proposed by Adama to intercept Cylon Tankers to provide desperately needed fuel for the fleet. Cain agrees to the plan only reluctantly as he would prefer to seize fuel by attacking the [[Cylons_(TOS)|Cylon]] [[Gamoray|base on Gamoray]] instead. | ||
Cain is also not too happy about Adama's intention to send vipers of both battlestars; So he emphasises the greater experience of the Pegasus's pilots and boasts that his warriors would be glad to pass along their experience to Galactica's warriors. | |||

==Execution of the operation== | |||
Cain | During pre-launch, Sheba discovers that Cain has joined the mission, to her surprise and concern. During the mission they are intercepted by a Cylon patrol. Blue Squadron seems at the mercy of the Cylons until Silver Spar Squadron engages. Cain orders Blue Squadron to pursue while he goes off to take care of the tankers. | ||
Cain destroys the tankers against orders, and tells a disbelieving Apollo that he was firing at a Cylon fighter. ([[The Living Legend, Part I]]) | |||
