[[File:BSGv2 - temporal wipeout.png|thumb|A temporal wipeout of two {{alt|Cylons|TOS|Cylon}} {{alt|Raider|TOS}}s resulting from a temporal warper's strike during the [[Nebula Ambush]] ({{comics|vol3|1}}).]]

'''Temporal weapons''' are, as their name implies, weapons affecting time. They are expressly outlawed by the Colonials for just concerns about their wide-ranging, uncontrollable effects ({{comics|vol2|1}}).
'''Cache''' is the name given to the habitable moon of a ringed planet by the [[Colonial Resistance]] in an [[alternate universe]], upon which '''[[Q-Cache]] #7202''' is located ({{comics|vol2|2}}).


[[Yahren]]s into their exodus, {{alt|Adama|TOS}} resorts to the use of a temporal weapon designed by {{alt|Zee}}, called the "time warper," in the face of certain destruction by an overwhelming force of {{alt|Cylons|TOS|Cylon}} {{alt|basestar|TOS}}s. The weapon's temporal battery aboard ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' destabilizes during the assault, causing the creation of an [[alternate reality]] where ''Galactica'' never existed ({{comics|vol2|1}} & {{comics|vol2|3|short=y}}).
A {{alt|Apollo|TOS|temporally displaced Apollo}} and {{alt|Starbuck|TOS}} fly to this planet, believing it to be [[Q-Cache 2702|Q-Cache #2702]]. While Starbuck is captured by [[Baltifer]]'s {{alt-r|Cylons}}, Apollo makes it to this moon by slingshotting himself around Cache's hypergiant star, and lands upon its surface.  


[[Warriors]] in [[Temporal Viper]]s housing the time warper, {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} and {{alt|Starbuck|TOS}}, are temporally displaced in aforesaid reality ({{comics|vol2|2}}). From the capture of Starbuck's Viper, a {{alt-r|Zee|treacherous version of Zee}} reverse-engineers weapons and a propulsion drive based upon temporal principles, outfitting them aboard [[Baltifer]]'s [[Baltifer's basestar|basestar]] ({{comics|vol2|4}}).
Featuring active volcanos and methane seas, and the nearby hypergiant's sensor distorting effects, Cache is a perfect hiding point for the Colonial Resistance.  


== Primary Reality ==
Following {{alt-r|Starbuck}}'s ''{{alt-r|Galactica}}'', [[Baltifer's baseship]] deploys its [[chronal cannon]]s devised by {{alt-r|Zee|Doctor Zee}} and reverts the moon's tectonic plates to a primordial state, forcing the Resistance to evacuate ({{comics|vol2|4}} & {{comics|vol2|5|short=y}}).

=== Temporal Warper ===
 
The {{inlineref|temporal warper}} is an offensive weapon, capable of displacing a target's existence from the time stream, effectively rendering them in a state of having never existed at all. This has the ripple-effect of affecting other outcomes.
 
=== Temporal Battery ===
 
A {{inlineref|temporal battery}} harnessing temporal energy is constructed and used by Zee in order to charge the temporal warper weapons of the two [[Temporal Viper]] prototypes. It destabilizes due to the intense damage ''Galactica'' incurs during the [[Nebula Ambush]] to unpredictable results ({{comics|vol2|1}}).

=== Chronal Cannon ===
 
[[File:BSGv2 - Baltifer's basestar.png|thumb|[[Baltifer]]'s [[Baltifer's basestar|basestar]] fires its [[chronal cannon]] at [[Cache]] ({{comics|vol2|4}}).]]
 
The {{inlineref|chronal cannon}} is a large-scale weapon installed aboard [[Baltifer's basestar]], and is the only known cannon of its type in existence.
 
Its test deployment occurs upon [[Cache]], the [[Colonial Resistance]] base, reverting the planet's tectonic plates to an "ancient patter" ({{comics|vol2|4}}).

[[File:BSGv2 - Temporal Warp Drive.png|thumb|left|[[Baltifer]]'s [[Baltifer's basestar|Baltifer's basestar]] uses its [[temporal warp drive]] to instantaneously arrive at [[Cache]] ({{comics|vol2|4}}).]]
 
=== Temporal Warp Drive ===
 
An instantaneous [[FTL]] drive is also reverse-engineered by Zee, and dubbed the {{inlineref|temporal warp drive}}. It literally punches a hole in space and allows a ship to appear anywhere, without the need for waiting between destination points. While not a direct weapon in its own right, it is derived from the principles of the temporal warper, thus permitting Baltifer's basestar to follow the incongruous ''{{alt-r|Galactica}}'', commanded by Captain {{alt-r|Starbuck}} (alongside a {{alt|Starbuck|TOS|temporally displaced Starbuck}}), and inopportunely appears above Cache ({{comics|vol2|4}}).
