Otarsis Quadrant asteroid

Boomer and Jolly on the asteroid surface.

The Otarsis Quadrant asteroid is a planetoid with an atmosphere suitable to humans.

A patrol from Galactica, consisting of Lieutenant Boomer and Flight Sergeant Jolly, discover strange readings on this asteroid and investigate.

Upon landing, they discover that there is a Cylon listening post on the planet and are also infected with an unknown virus, which they bring back to Galactica and infect half the bridge officers and all but two Viper pilots.

Unable to find a cure for this virus, Doctor Salik and a medical team land on the asteroid, themselves accompanied by a Viper squadron consisting of newly trained female warriors. Prior to landing, this Viper party manages to dispatch Cylon Raiders launched from the post while Captain Apollo destroys the post (Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I).
