Impatient with the Galactican Fleet's inability to lead the Cylon battle fleet to Earth, the Imperious Leader orders an attack on the Fleet's agricultural ships.
Despite Galactican interception by D Squadron, the Cylons are successful in destroying all the Fleet's agricultural ships, forcing them to begin an agricultural colony on Earth (1980: "Space Croppers").
Analysis
editThe Cylons use only regular Raider craft for the attack and not the A-B Raider. This may indicate that the Cylons either did not believe it necessary for the A-B Raiders to be deployed in this mission, or that the A-B Raiders are few in number.
Notes
edit- The footage depicting this battle is reused from Original Series'"The Magnificent Warriors", itself repurposed from Silent Running.
- Chronologically, this is the final battle depicted in Galactica 1980. The last depicted battle in 1980 belongs to Battle near Planet Starbuck from Galactica 1980's"The Return of Starbuck".
