The timing of the nova with the Thirteenth Tribe's journey and its resemblance to the algae planet system's nova suggests to Gaeta that the Tribe's next marker is the Ionian Nebula {{TRS|Rapture}}. | ||
When the Fleet reaches the nebula, every ship suffers an abrupt power outage. With the Fleet helplessly adrift and without [[DRADIS]], four [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] [[Basestar (RDM)|baseships]] also jump to the nebula and launch [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raiders]]. ''Galactica'' detects the baseships after power is partially restored, but the Fleet's civilian ships are slower to recover and are unable to make an immediate FTL jump. ''Galactica'' responds by launching all its {{RDM|Viper}}s to intercept the Raiders, and Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] authorizes the use of nuclear weapons against the baseships. Sortied to defend against the incoming Cylon attack, {{Callsign|Lee Adama}} picks up a mysterious, intermittent DRADIS contact and breaks off to intercept it. The bogey leads him on a chase through the nebula's dust clouds and, after outmaneuvering Adama's [[Viper Mark VII]], pulls up along him portside. Much to his surprise, the unknown contact is the [[Maelstrom|presumed-dead]] {{Callsign|Starbuck}} piloting an unusually pristine [[Viper Mark II]] {{TRS|Crossroads, Part II}}. | When the Fleet reaches the nebula, every ship suffers an abrupt power outage.
