==Introduction==
The '''Armistice Station''' is a remote space station, built with the intent of allowing both [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] and [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|the Twelve Colonies]] to maintain diplomatic relations after the [[Cylon War]].
: <i>"The Cylons were created by Man. They were created to make life easier on the twelve colonies. And then the day came when the Cylons decided to kill their masters. After a long and bloody struggle, an armistice was declared. The Cylons left for another world to call their own. A remote space station was built where Cylon and human could meet and maintain diplomatic relations. Every year the Colonials send an officer. The Cylons send no one. No one has seen or heard from the Cylons in over forty years."</i>


With these words so begins the [[Mini-Series]] and, in turn, the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|re-imagined]] ''Battlestar Galactica'' regular series.
The station is manned on an annual basis by a Colonial [[Armistice Officer|armistice officer]]. The last armistice officer maintains a few items on the negotiation desk in the meeting room of the station, suggesting the isolated and unproductive nature of his assignment:


==Description==
* Personal photographs of [[Boxey (RDM)|the officer's son]] and presumably his wife
[[Image:Photos seen on Armistice Station.jpg|thumb|Photos of Boxey and perhaps his mother<br/>Credit: Sci-Fi]]
* A schematic of an [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|obsolete Cylon model from the end of the War]]
Armistice Station was a remote space station. Periodically it was attended by an [[Armistice Officer]], who happened to be [[Boxey (RDM)|Boxey]]'s father.
* A copy of the [[Cimtar Peace Accords]], which were signed at the end of the War


A few items of interest are visible in ''Armistice Station'':
The Cylons ignore the Armistice Station and all overtures of diplomacy for forty years. In their only visit, a [[Number_Six#Armistice_Station_Copy|Number Six]], escorted by two [[Cylon_Centurion|contemporary Centurions]], boards the station and briefly interacts with the armistice officer, before the station is destroyed in the opening salvo of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].

* A document: [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|Cylon Centurian Model 0005 ''(sic)'']]
* A document: [[Cimtar Peace Accord]]


==Destruction==
{{clear}}
Armistice Station was dwarfed in size by the Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] that paid it a visit. In a mysterious choice for the opening salvo of the [[Cylon Attack|Cylon attack]], the basestar attacked and destroyed Armistice Station, while on board a [[Humano-Cylon]] sexually assaulted the [[Armistice Officer]] as two [[Cylon Centurian]]s watched.
The [[Mini-Series#Armistice Station|Armistice Station section]] of the [[Mini-Series]] article discusses this peculiar circumstance.

The Armistice Station is a remote space station, built with the intent of allowing both Cylons and the Twelve Colonies to maintain diplomatic relations after the Cylon War.

The station is manned on an annual basis by a Colonial armistice officer. The last armistice officer maintains a few items on the negotiation desk in the meeting room of the station, suggesting the isolated and unproductive nature of his assignment:

The Cylons ignore the Armistice Station and all overtures of diplomacy for forty years. In their only visit, a Number Six, escorted by two contemporary Centurions, boards the station and briefly interacts with the armistice officer, before the station is destroyed in the opening salvo of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.
