Demand Peace's operational emblem

Demand Peace is an organization led by Royan Jahee that has sprung up within the fleet seeking peace with the Cylons. They operate out of Cloud Nine. Their ideology has gained significant traction amongst the civilian population of the fleet as more and more people have begun to realise that the fleet's "attack and retreat" tactics couldn't possible produce a victory against the Cylons. They have recently started making violent protests, striking against the fleet's military assets, such as the ammunition stores of the battlestar Galactica and ore processing operations on the tylium refinery ship Daru Mozu.

Their first known action began by sneaking a Demand Peace mole, Asha Janik, aboard Galactica to work as a civilian munitions worker. While there she worked to sabatoge Galactica's Vipers by producing faulty hollow-rounds for their guns. She was later captured and interrogated by Galactica crew members. The next act of sabotage took place about the tyllium refinery ship Daru Mozu, where Demand Peace members snuck aboard the ship and detonated a bomb close to its FTL drive.

Most recently the group was provided with a nuclear divice by Vice President Dr. Gaius Baltar in order to aid Demand Peace member and Humano-Cylon agent Gina.
