Previous Next Battle of Caprica Operation Clean Sweep Battle of Sector 12

Operation Clean Sweep was a military operation that took place some time prior to William Adama's posting to Galactica during the First Cylon War.

Battle and Aftermath

The exact details of the battle are never fully discussed, however as a result of the operation the Colonial Military attempted to put a positive spin on the failed military action.

Or, as summarized by Captain Armin Diaz to Ensign William Adama, "I'll break it down for you like this: the brass makes it seem like Operation Clean Sweep lived up to its name, but someone forgot to give the toasters that memo. They're taking down our planes right and left, and right now I need Raptor drivers more than I need Viper jocks."
