'''Operation Clean Sweep''' was a [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)|Colonial Fleet]] operation that took place some time prior to Ensign [[William Adama]]'s posting to ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' in the tenth year of the [[Cylon War|First Cylon War]].  
'''Operation Clean Sweep''' was a [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|military]] operation that took place some time prior to [[William Adama]]'s posting to [[Galactica (RDM)|''Galactica'']] during the [[Cylon War|First Cylon War]].  


Despite attempts by the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Colonial government]] to put a positive spin on the operation, [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] forces were able to deal a significant blow to the Colonial Fleet.  Comments made by Captain [[Armin Diaz]] to Ensign Adama suggest that the loss of Operation Clean Sweep cut especially deep into the Fleet's supply of [[Raptor]] pilots {{TRS|Blood and Chrome}}.
==Battle and Aftermath==


{{clear}}
The exact details of the battle are never fully discussed, however as a result of the operation the Colonial Military attempted to put a positive spin on the failed military action.
 
Or, as summarized by Captain [[Armin Diaz]] to Ensign [[William Adama]], "I'll break it down for you like this: the brass makes it seem like Operation Clean Sweep lived up to its name, but someone forgot to give the [[toasters]] that memo. They're taking down our planes right and left, and right now I need [[Raptor]] drivers more than I need [[Viper]] jocks."
