Cimtar (TOS)Cimtar (RDM)

The old moon Cimtar on a Viper's scanner ^{(TOS: "Saga of a Star World")}.

Cimtar is a small moon in a location considered neutral territory by both the Cylon Empire and the Colonials during the Thousand-Yahren War. It is referred to as an "old moon" by some in the Colonial military.

It is known for its fog-laden surface, which the Cylons use to great effect in hiding Raiders and the fuel tankers for their attack on the nearby battlestars. A patrol consisting of Captain Apollo and Lieutenant Zac spring this trap unsuspectingly, leading into the final decisive conflict of the war and an already prepared Galactica's ability to escape, thus enabling that last battlestar to assemble a great rag-tag, fugitive Fleet ^{(TOS: "Saga of a Star World")}.

In the separate continuity

Cimtar is an "old moon" designated as a neutral meeting site to finalize the armistice.

During a recon patrol, Galactica's Capt. Apollo and Lt. Zac happen across an empty Cylon tanker in orbit of Cimtar. Interference shields a large assembly of Raiders, with only two dispatched to intercept and destroy the patrol.

While Apollo returns to his battlestar, Zac is killed short of newly-arrived battlestar fleet, beginning the Battle of Cimtar ^{(Comics: Annihilation!)}.

The Cimtar Peace Accord ^{(TRS: "Miniseries")}.

Cimtar is a place mentioned in the Cimtar Peace Accord, as seen in a document held by the Armistice Officer on the Armistice Station. The peace accord ended the Cylon War, and the human's automaton creations, the Cylons, left for a world to call their own. The accord was later broken by the Cylons some 40 years later ^{(TRS: "Miniseries")}.

Notes

• The name of Cimtar is one of a handful of direct cross-references between the Original Series and the Re-imagined Series. In the Re-imagined Series, Cimtar is noted only in the Armistice Officer's copy of the Peace Accord, suggesting that, in the Re-imagined universe, Cimtar was, indeed, used for an actual peace treaty signing. No further information was given about Cimtar itself in this continuity, however.
• A curious continuity gap exists on the Re-imagined peace accord documents. Visible in the same scene is a technical specifications document on the original Cylon models used by the Colonies. The document contains the Original Series-specific term "yahrens". Given that the Re-imagined Series uses the standard real-world measurement terminology of "years," this is likely a goof of the props department or a homage to the Original Series than an attempt to suggest a more direct connection between the two series.
