Cylon Refinery: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:04, 24 November 2006

The Cylon Refinery is a base located on an asteroid rich in tylium ore, whose main purpose was to mine and refine tylium for the Cylons.

The base was located at a considerable distance from the presumed location of the Cylon homeworld. It is unknown whether the base was established out of necessity, or merely to eliminate possible resources for any escaping Colonials.

The base is discovered by lieutenants Valerii and Crashdown, while doing reconnaissance to find any tylium deposits for the Fleet.

Despite being extremely well guarded, the fuel shortages in the Fleet leave the Colonials no option but to destroy the Cylon base. Using recon photographs, Dr. Gaius Baltar identifies devices on the base's surface that will destroy the base while leaving the tylium undamaged.

The base is attacked in an elaborate plan by several Viper squadrons, but the base's anti-aircraft defenses allow it to remain undamaged. Captain Apollo takes on an alternate path to enter from under the base. With a clean shot to the location pointed out by Baltar, Apollo succeeds in destroying the refinery (The Hand of God).

-It was discovered by Lieutenants [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Valerii]] and [[Crashdown]], while doing reconnaissance to find any Tylium Ore deposits for the [[The Fleet (RDM)|fleet]]. Upon Seeing the base and it's generous compliment of [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raider]]s, the Colonials jumped back to the fleet. ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]])

-Despite being extremely well guarded, the lack of fuel supply in the fleet left the Colonials no option but to destroy the Cylon Base. Using recon photographs, [[Gaius Baltar|Dr. Gaius Baltar]] was asked to pinpoint a location in the refinery where it could be safely destroyed without rendering the Tylium inert. Baltar, not knowing anything about tylium refineries, consulted his inner [[Cylon-Related Hallucinations|Six]], though she too claimed to have no idea. She told him to trust [[God]] and let him guide his hand. Baltar finally pointed, seemingly at random, at a location in the Base, claiming that hitting that place would do the job.

-The Base was attacked by several [[Viper Mark II|Viper]] squadrons, but it's wide range of defensive weapons and fighters allowed it to remain undamaged. [[Lee Adama|Captain Apollo]] was forced to take on an alternate path, going into a conveyor belt, and coming out directly under the base. With a clean shot to the location pointed out by Baltar, Apollo succeeded in destroying the Cylon base. ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]])
