Armistice Station: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:36, 2 August 2006

The Armistice Station is a remote space station. Annually it is attended by an Armistice Officer, who happens to be Boxey's father.

A few items of interest are visible on the officer's negotiation desk in the center room of the Armistice Station:

A photograph of Boxey
A photograph, presumably the Armistice Officer's wife and Boxey's mother
A document detailing the Cylon Centurian Model 0005 (sic)
A copy of the Cimtar Peace Accord

Destruction

Armistice Station is dwarfed in size by the Cylon basestar that pays it a visit. In a fitting choice for the opening salvo of the Cylon attack, the basestar attacks and destroys Armistice Station. The Armistice Station section of the Miniseries article discusses this peculiar circumstance.

Science fiction fans may see the Armistice Station as a very short-lived parallel or acknowledgement to the purpose of the Babylon 5 space station in the popular TV series, "Babylon 5."

-: ''"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."''
