Cylon Centurions march through New Caprica City.

On the 380th day after colonization of New Caprica, a massive Cylon fleet, attracted by a nuclear detonation a year before, suddenly appears within the nebula that hid the barely-habitable planet from normal means of detection.

Horribly outgunned as well as understaffed on each of the orbiting battlestars Galactica and Pegasus, Commander Lee Adama of Pegasus urges Admiral Adama to order the orbiting remainder of the Fleet to Jump to escape coordinates, knowing that they cannot win in a firefight, nor be able to formulate a rescue plan for the colony in such conditions.

Reluctantly, the Fleet retreats to an unknown location. As waves of Raiders and Heavy Raiders fly over New Caprica City, Caprica-Six, Sharon Valerii, and a Number Five copy enter President Baltar's office to indicate their intent to occupy the colony.

Faced with no choice, Baltar formally surrenders to the Cylons as waves of Centurions enter New Caprica City while a stunned population looks on ("Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II").
