The '''Skirmish over Scopria''' takes place during the [[First Cylon War]]. In one of the many attacks during the war, [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] attack a secondary shipyard over [[Scorpia]], where battlestar ''[[Minerva (Deadlock)|Minerva]]'' is berthed during its construction.

==Background==
In order to diminish Colonial military assets, Cylons repeatedly attack supply lines and construction facilities aiding in the Colonial war effort. While the Colonials make use of mobile, FTL-capable shipyards (e.g. ''[[Daidalos]]''), stationary shipyards over [[Scorpia]] are prime targets of opportunity.

==Skirmish==
During the later-stages of construction on [[Battlestar Group]] 84's ''[[Minerva (Deadlock)|Minerva]]'', three [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] ''[[Arachne]]s'' launch their attack on the secondary shipyard. This forces an incomplete ''Minerva'' to launch in a defensive attempt to protect their berth, but the ship's limited armor and defensive abilities make this impossible.

Immediately following the destruction of the shipyard, ''Minerva'''s commander launches a retaliatory offensive campaign, using the burning wreckage of the shipyard as buffer between them and the Cylon force. Utilizing its large offensive potential fostered by its heavy weaponry and missile launchers, ''Minerva'' is able to quickly dispatch all three ''Arachnes'' through a rapid series of volleys (''[[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock: The Broken Alliance]]'').
