| The final Cylon attack came 40 years after the cessation of hostilities, the opening shot being the destruction of the [[Armistice Station]] by a [[basestar]].
| |
| | |
| Carefully planned out by the Cylons, Humanity's defeat was ensured by [[Humano-Cylon]] agents, such as [[Number 6]]; Number 6 ensured that [[backdoors]] were placed in the [[Command Navigation Program]], thus eliminating the Colonials ability to resist.
| |
| | |
| As a result of the re-emergence of network technologies (see: [[Cylon War]]), the Cylons could now repeat a tactic they had previously used.
| |
| | |
| As the Colonial Fleet, under the command of [[Nagala|Admiral Nagala]] onboard the [[Battlestar]] <i>[[Atlantia]]</i>, was ripped asunder by Cylon forces, the Cylons began deploying nuclear warfare against the Colonies. Out of billions of humans, only 50,000 survived and escaped their Cylon enemies under the leadership of the battlestar <i>[[Galactica]]</i> ([[Mini-Series]]) or another surviving battlestar, while a [[resistance movement]] was formed on Caprica. Also there were other survivors that didn't make the rendezvous at Ragnar in time such as the [[Battlestar]] <i>[[Pegasus]]</i>, under the command of [[Nelena Cain|Admiral Nelena Cain]]

| The Cylon Attack was a sneak attack, similar to [[Wikipedia:Pearl Harbor (attack)|Pearl Harbor]]. After 1000 [[yahrens]] of war, the Humans vied for peace under [[Baltar (TOS)|Lord Baltar]]. (see: [[Cimtar Peace Accord]]) The peace was to take place at [[Cimtar]], a moon in what is believed to be neutral territory. Instead of peace, the Cylons launched their largest onslaught against the Colonials.

| The Cylons began their two-pronged attack:

| ==== First Prong: Elimination of the Battlestars at Cimtar ====
| |
| | |
| : <i>Additional information is available on the [[Battle of Cimtar (TOS)]].</i>
| |
| | |
| The Cylons used [[Cimtar]] as a launch platform for fighter groups, supported by [[Cylon tankers]] for fuel operations. Using their [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|Raiders]], the Cylons attacked the [[battlestar|battlestars]] there. All battlestars, save the already prepared <i>[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]</i>, were destroyed; the Cylons were thwarted from destroying the entire presence there. Leaving the survivors and [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] pilots of that battle, the <i>Galactica</i> headed towards the [[Twelve Colonies (TOS)]] in a vain effort to protect their homeworlds.

| | |
| ==== Second Prong: The Attack on the Colonies ====
| |
| | |
| [[Cylon basestar (TOS)|Cylon basestars]] snuck by Colonial defenses, allowing an unstoppable attack on the Colonies. Whole planets were in flames and the Cylons exterminated all humans that remained, save those who were fortunate enough to flee the Colonies to join the [[Fleet]] [[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]] assembled.
