'''Mandala planet'''<ref>{{Bsgwiki term}}</ref> is a gas giant encountered by [[The Fleet (TRS)|the Fleet]] circa {{ACH|3}}, where its [[DRADIS]]-affecting [[synchrotron radiation]] provides a good stopping point to refuel the Fleet's ships.

While on [[Combat Air Patrol]] of the fourth day of refueling operations, {{Callsign|Starbuck}} believes that she has sighted a [[Heavy Raider]], pursuing it into the denser parts of the planet, coming across a storm center that appears to share the same color-pattern as the [[Mandala|mandalas]] she has drawn throughout her life.

Despite concerns about her flight status, she and {{Callsign|Apollo}} are on a later patrol, where she sees another Raider and pursues it towards the storm. As she [[Messenger Leoben|experiences visions]], she lets herself descend to the gas giant's hard deck, resulting in the loss of [[Viper 8757]] and Thrace herself {{TRS|Maelstrom}}.
