On the last day of the first Cylon War, the colony of Tauron was besieged by a Cylon invasion. Fighting was rampant and the Cylons appeared to posses air, space and ground superiority.

With at least three basestars in orbit, the Cylons sent ground forces and Raiders onto the planet's surface. Colonial military ground forces engaged in urban warfare with Centurions amidst bombed out buildings, trapping civilians (such as Helena Cain's family) in the crossfire.

It was during this operation that the Cylons finalized an armistice with the Colonies, and instigated an immediate retreat from the surface of Tauron, as well as all surrounding space. In light of their apparent superiority, it is likely that the Cylons would have conquered Tauron had the Cimtar Peace Accords not been signed ("Razor", extended version).
