	[[~~Baltifer~~]]~~'s pursuit~~ of ~~the renegade, incongruous~~ ''{{alt-r\|Galactica}}'' ~~leads them to the system containing [[Cache]], the homebase of the [[Colonial Resistance]] in an [[alternate reality]] (~~{{~~comics~~\|~~vol2~~\|4}}).		The creation of an [[alternate reality]] begins during an ambush of ''{{alt\|Galactica\|TOS}}'' and {{alt\|the Fleet\|TOS}} in a nebula humanity's survivors use to hide themselves.

	Upon arriving in Cache's system, {{alt\|Starbuck\|TOS}} activates the homing beacon on his [[Temporal Viper]] to home in on {{alt\|Apollo\|TOS}} and the [[Q-Cache]]. With this direct link established, [[Baltifer's baseship]] seizes the inopportune moment to jump in using its newly outfitted [[temporal warp drive]].		== Original Outcome ==

	~~While~~ ''Galactica'' ~~is able to use its [[sensor shield]]~~ to ~~prevent its detection,~~ the ~~Resistance base has the misfortune~~ of ~~an active beacon that allows Baltifer to identify~~ the ~~location of~~ the ~~base despite~~ the ~~nearby supergiant's sensor interference. From that point, Baltifer deploys a second temporal weapon,~~ the ~~[[chronal cannon]], using it to convert the planetoid's tectonic plates to a historic, seismically unstable configuration~~.		Facing an overwhelming force of Cylons, whose approach has been hidden by the very nebula the Colonials use to hide within, Commander {{alt\|Adama\|TOS}} orders ''Galactica'' to bear the brunt of the onslaught while the civilian ships escape further into the safety of the nebula.

	{{alt-r\|~~Adama~~}} ~~and Apollo surrender themselves to Baltifer, conveying themselves to his baseship in Apollo~~'s ~~Temporal Viper, in return for Baltifer's word that no further~~ [[temporal ~~weapon~~]]~~s are to be used against Cache~~. ~~On a technicality, Baltifer reneges on the deal, using standard weapons aboard~~ {{alt-r\|~~Raider~~}}~~s instead (~~{{~~comics~~\|~~vol2~~\|4}}).		''Galactica'' develops major damage, forcing Adama to authorize {{alt\|Zee}}'s deployment of the [[temporal warper]] weapons outfitted on two [[Temporal Viper\|modified Vipers]]. Warriors {{alt\|Apollo\|TOS}} and {{alt\|Starbuck\|TOS}} are pulled from the flight line and assigned to test pilot the craft, with Zee giving them specific instructions that they each only have 10 shots before they need to recharge via a [[temporal battery]].

	~~This second wave of attacks is staved by~~ Apollo~~'s willingness to lead Baltifer to his home reality,~~ and {{alt-r\|~~Zee~~\|~~Doctor Zee~~}} ~~uses~~ the ~~Viper's data~~ to ~~recreate~~ the [[temporal storm]] ~~through the firing of the re-attuned chronal cannons~~. ~~As Apollo flies into the eye of the storm~~, ''Galactica'' launches its attack against the basestar with both its standard arsenal and the [[signal disruptor]]. This allows Adama to seize command by killing Baltifer, and forcing Zee to release the human prisoners aboard, effectively retaking the baseship and using the basestar's batteries to wipe up the remaining Raiders.		Understanding this, Apollo and Starbuck launch and test the weapon on two {{alt\|Raider\|TOS}}s, finding the results to be effective. Before they are able to deploy it on the attacking basestar, Cylon suicide attacks cause the temporal battery to overload and creates a [[temporal storm]] that only Apollo and Starbuck are able to weather ({{comics\|vol2\|1}}). In effect, this event spawns an [[alternate reality]] where ''Galactica'' was never built ({{comics\|vol2\|2}} & {{comics\|vol2\|3\|short=y}}).

	~~However~~, the temporal storm ~~erupts~~, ~~moving~~ the surviving ~~participants~~ of the ~~battle into~~ the reality from whence Apollo and Starbuck ~~came~~ ({{comics\|vol2\|5}}).		== Restoration Outcome ==

			Following the [[Battle of Cache]], Apollo and Starbuck riding tandem in the remaining [[Temporal Viper]] are swept away into a [[temporal storm]], along with the forces of the [[Colonial Resistance]] of an [[alternate reality]].

			With two capitol ships, [[Baltifer]]'s [[Baltifer's basestar\|former basestar]] under {{alt-r\|Adama\|an alternate Adama}}'s command and an incongruous copy of ''{{alt-r\|Galactica}}'' herself under the command of {{alt-r\|Starbuck\|an alternate Starbuck}}, and surviving Vipers from Cache's base, they are deposited in the primary reality.

			Vulnerable due to the overload of {{alt\|Zee}}'s [[temporal battery]], ''{{alt\|Galactica\|TOS}}'' requires an hour to restore the ship's systems while Adama reconciles the loss of Apollo and Starbuck's temporal weapon Vipers. Facing certain destruction, ''Galactica'' finds itself saved by the forces of the alternate reality, dispatching the Cylon attackers. This permits the timelines diverge, the alternate reality vessels returning from whence they came, and the reunion of Apollo and Starbuck with the rag-tag Fleet ({{comics\|vol2\|5}}).

[[Baltifer]]'s pursuit of the renegade, incongruous ''{{alt-r|Galactica}}'' leads them to the system containing [[Cache]], the homebase of the [[Colonial Resistance]] in an [[alternate reality]] ({{comics|vol2|4}}).

Upon arriving in Cache's system, {{alt|Starbuck|TOS}} activates the homing beacon on his [[Temporal Viper]] to home in on {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} and the [[Q-Cache]]. With this direct link established, [[Baltifer's baseship]] seizes the inopportune moment to jump in using its newly outfitted [[temporal warp drive]].

While ''Galactica'' is able to use its [[sensor shield]] to prevent its detection, the Resistance base has the misfortune of an active beacon that allows Baltifer to identify the location of the base despite the nearby supergiant's sensor interference. From that point, Baltifer deploys a second temporal weapon, the [[chronal cannon]], using it to convert the planetoid's tectonic plates to a historic, seismically unstable configuration.

{{alt-r|Adama}} and Apollo surrender themselves to Baltifer, conveying themselves to his baseship in Apollo's Temporal Viper, in return for Baltifer's word that no further [[temporal weapon]]s are to be used against Cache. On a technicality, Baltifer reneges on the deal, using standard weapons aboard {{alt-r|Raider}}s instead ({{comics|vol2|4}}).

This second wave of attacks is staved by Apollo's willingness to lead Baltifer to his home reality, and {{alt-r|Zee|Doctor Zee}} uses the Viper's data to recreate the [[temporal storm]] through the firing of the re-attuned chronal cannons. As Apollo flies into the eye of the storm, ''Galactica'' launches its attack against the basestar with both its standard arsenal and the [[signal disruptor]]. This allows Adama to seize command by killing Baltifer, and forcing Zee to release the human prisoners aboard, effectively retaking the baseship and using the basestar's batteries to wipe up the remaining Raiders.

However, the temporal storm erupts, moving the surviving participants of the battle into the reality from whence Apollo and Starbuck came ({{comics|vol2|5}}).
