| Additional Information | |||
A Cylon Listening Post is a covert installation built on a planet and designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape while gathering intelligence on enemy movements.
One such outpost was discovered by Galactica pilots Boomer and Jolly on an asteroid in the Otarsis sector (Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I). Constructed on the rocky face of a canyon, the only outward sign of the station was a comparatively small launchbay hatch. This hatch could be opened by tilting the entire section by 90°, allowing access for Raiders, equipment and personnel. Up until its destruction by Colonial forces, Baltar was using the base to track the movements of Galactica' and the Fleet.
Notes
- At least three Cylon Raiders were stationed at the outpost.
- Unbeknownst to the Cylons, a pathogen that was potentially lethal to humans was present on the asteroid, making detection of the Outpost all the less likely.
