			== Behind the scenes ==

			Co-executive producer [[Mark Verheiden]] clarified the significance of the Ionian Nebula in triggering the Final Five's awakening. In a 2008 interview, he explained that "Anders, Tigh, Tory and Tyrol only realized they were Cylons when they reached the area of space seen at the end of '[[Crossroads, Part II\|Crossroads, Part 2]]'" - the Ionian Nebula itself.<ref group="commentary" name="ullrich_comicmix_verheiden_final_five_realization_ionian_nebula">{{cite_web\|url=https://comicmix.com/2008/04/08/battlestar-galactica-interview-mark-verheiden-on-cylon-babies-and-season-four-secrets/#:~:text=remember%20that%20Anders%2C%20Tigh%2C%20Tory%20and%20Tyrol%20only%20realized%20they%20were%20Cylons%20when%20they%20reached%20the%20area%20of%20space%20seen%20at%20the%20end%20of%20%22Crossroads%2C%20Part%202\|title=Battlestar Galactica Interview: Mark Verheiden on Cylon Babies and Season Four Secrets\|author=Chris Ullrich\|publisher=ComicMix\|date=8 April 2008\|accessdate=16 February 2026}}</ref> This confirms that their self-awareness was specifically triggered by reaching this particular location in space, establishing the nebula as a crucial site for the Final Five's activation.

	When the Fleet reaches the nebula, every ship suffers an abrupt power outage.
