Demand Peace's operational emblem

Demand Peace is an organization (operating out of Cloud 9) led by Royan Jahee that has sprung up within the fleet seeking peace with the Cylons. Their ideology has gained significant traction amongst the civilian population of the Fleet who believe surrender to the Cylons is preferable to a life on the run.

The movement have recently started making violent protests, striking against the Fleet's military assets, such as the ammunition stores of the battlestar Galactica and ore processing operations on the tylium refinery ship Daru Mozu.

Demand Peace's attack on the Daru Mozu

The group's first known action began by sneaking a Demand Peace mole, Asha Janik, aboard Galactica to work as a civilian munitions worker. While there, she sabatoges Galactica's Vipers by producing faulty hollow-rounds for the fighter's guns. Galactica's crew members later capture and interrogate her. The next act of sabotage takes place about the tylium refinery ship Daru Mozu, where Demand Peace members aboard the ship detonate a bomb close to its FTL drive.

Most recently, Dr. Gaius Baltar secretly provides the group a nuclear warhead (given to him to make his Cylon detector by then-Commander Adama) in order to aid the future plans of Demand Peace member and possibly disaffected Cylon agent Gina.

Demand Peace's manifesto pamphelt


The "Demand Peace" pamphlet read by Galactica's senior officers in "Epiphanies" contains the following statements:

Front page:

DEMAND PEACE

A MANIFESTO TO NEGOTIATE AN END TO THE SLAUGHTER

First page:

DEMAND PEACE

[...]This is our cause. This is your cause.

OUR CAUSE WILL SAVE MANKIND

Commander Adama would have you believe that he will save us. But can one man claim ?? to save the future of all mankind? Clearly the task is too great for a warrior. It demands the perspective of a statesman and a historian. In short a democratic council. Is this what we have? Despite lip service to the processes of democracy the [...]

Second page:

WE BELIEVE

  1. Only open dialogue can save mankind.
  2. The military is the servant, not the masters, of the fleet.
  3. The cylons will respond to reasonable dialogue.
  4. Democracy is the key to responsible decision making for the future of mankind.
  5. Man and Cylons can coexist in peace.
  6. We are at the dawn of a new beginning for mankind.
  7. The enemies of peace are the enemies of mankind.

DEMAND PEACE

Additionally, Saul Tigh quotes the following passage: "Do not be afraid. We are not terrorists, but we will not sit back while Adama's war machine continues to press us into cruel and futile conflict."
