Battle to determine the freedom of Chief [[Galen Tyrol]] and Lieutenant [[Karl C. Agathon]]. It spans the last act of "[[Pegasus]]" and the beginning act of "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]".

The battle begins when Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] contacts Commander [[William Adama]], notifying Adama that Admiral [[Helena Cain]] has ordered the summary execution of Tyrol and Agathon over the death of Lieutenant [[Alistair Thorne]].  Upon hearing this news, and realizing that he had been lied to about a court martial regarding the incident, Adama orders a [[Raptor]] (with [[Viper]] escort) to board ''Peagsus'' to retrieve the men.

When Adama communicates to Cain his desire to be given Tyrol and Agathon, Cain launches ''Peagsus'' full Viper force and goes to [[Condition One]].  ''Galactica'' follows suit, launching Vipers lead by Lieutenant [[Louanne Katraine]] and [[Brendan Constanza]] ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]). As the Vipers approach, each side attempts to goad the other into opening fire first.  Katraine repeatedly attempts to obtain permission to open fire on the incoming Vipers.  During this, each side plays a deadly game of "chicken". 

The fraças is interrupted by [[Kara Thrace]] piloting the [[Blackbird]].  After Lieutenant [[Lee Adama]] text messages Thrace over the [[wireless]] aboard a ''Pegasus'' Raptor, she begins acting in a manner consistant with a hostile [[Cylon]] [[Raider]].  The ruse succeeds as the [[DRADIS]] of both [[battlestar]]s and their respective Viper squadrons reads the Blackbird as a Cylon.  The two opposing groups join forces to engage the "real" enemy -- finding that the Blackbird isn't a Cylon, much to the relief of Thrace.  

A truce ensues after Cain receives recon photos of the Cylon "[[Resurrection Ship|Resurrection ship]]".  Both commanders agree to bring their ships to [[Condition Two]] and meet on ''[[Colonial One]]'' to determine a course of action ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).

-The '''standoff between ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus''''' is a confrontation between the commanders of the two battlestars as a result of questionable command decisions by Admiral Helena Cain {{TRS|Pegasus (episode)|Resurrection Ship, Part I}}.
+Battle to determine the freedom of Chief [[Galen Tyrol]] and Lieutenant [[Karl C. Agathon]]. It spans the last act of "[[Pegasus]]" and the beginning act of "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]".
-Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] informs Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] that Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]] has ordered the summary execution of Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] and Lieutenant [[Karl Agathon|Agathon]] over the death of ''Pegasus'' Lieutenant  [[Alastair Thorne|Thorne]]. On this news, feeling deceived that a genuine court martial would occur for his crewmen, Adama orders a [[Raptor]] with [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] escorts to board ''Pegasus'' to retrieve the men.

Both [[battlestar]]s and their respective Viper squadrons read the Blackbird as a Cylon (the Blackbird is either not equipped with a Colonial transponder or had disabled it for the unauthorized recon mission).  The two opposing groups join forces to engage the "real" enemy, but Starbuck succeeds in confirming her identity before the Vipers fire upon the Blackbird.
