	The mission stems from Thrace's promise to [[Samuel Anders]], the leader of the Resistance, that she would return following her departure from {{RDM\|Caprica}} with the [[Arrow of Apollo]]. Initially, both [[William Adama]] and [[Laura Roslin]] refuse Thrace's request to take ''[[Galactica (TRS)\|Galactica]]'' back to Caprica, noting that the mission would leave the [[The Fleet (RDM)\|Fleet]] unacceptably vulnerable to [[Cylon (RDM)\|Cylon]] attack. Furthermore, ''Galactica'' would take at least 241 [[Propulsion in the Re-imagined Series#Faster-Than-Light travel\|jumps]] to reach Caprica, though computational errors inherent in every jump beyond the [[Red Line]] could result in double that amount of jumps ~~([[~~TRS~~]]: [[Pegasus (Extended Version)~~\|"Pegasus" (Extended Version)~~]])~~.

	However, the discovery of the battlestar ''[[Pegasus (RDM)\|Pegasus]]'' results in the Fleet possessing enough [[Raptor]]s to launch an independent strike team without requiring the battlestars to leave the Fleet behind. Additionally, the Colonials discover a way to install the jump computer from a captured Cylon [[Heavy Raider]] with the Raptors' computers by allowing the [[Sharon Agathon\|captured Number Eight copy]] on ''Galactica'' to [[Humanoid Cylon#Cybernetic Behavior\|interface]] with both computers. With this upgrade, a return trip to Caprica is estimated to take less than ten jumps. However, simulations of the attack plans suggesting that at least twenty percent of the strike force would be lost. As a result, Adama approves the mission while designating it as [[Two Alpha]]: volunteer only.
