About Cimtar

Cimtar is a small moon.

Role during the Destruction of the Colonies

Count Baltar arranges for a peace conference between the Cylon Empire and the Twelve Colonies. The signing of the peace is supposed to happen in or near the Cylon capital (Zac studied the coordinates to the Cylon capital).

Five of the remaining battlestars of the Colonies gather in anticipation of the end of the Thousand-Yahren War; Then they begin moving to the supposed place of the signing. The obvious route from the Colonies to the Cylon capital seems to lead through the space near Cimtar (the Colonials take the route, the Cylons ambush them at Cimtar).

The signing never takes place. Baltar's guidance of President Adar is revealed as part of an elaborate plan by the Cylons to ambush the battlestars and their homeworlds (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").
