This battle heralded the destruction of several Colonial battlestars during a faux peace conference at Cimtar.
Battlestars destroyed include the Atlantia, Triton, Pacifica, and Acropolis.
The attack was conducted by fighter groups of Cylon Raiders (numbering a thousand total, along with support tankers) using a variety of tactics, including kamikaze methods. This left the basestars free for the destruction of the Colonies.
If it weren't for the actions of the suspicious Commander Adama, the Galactica herself would have been destroyed. (Saga of a Star World)
