Reeling from the apparent death of Major Apollo and the reappearance of the Cylon threat, Commander Adama forbids any effort to recover Apollo or his remains. With the awesome threat posed by the Cylons' newest capital ship, dubbed the "super basestar" with its phalanxes of Raiders, Adama and the Colonials of the rag-tag, fugitive fleet must continue to press on.
Background
Cylons enact their plan to ensnare humanity by manufacturing psionic impressions of humans, which are sympathetically received by Countess Sephoni during her ten yahren separation from the fugitive fleet. Immediately following Major Apollo's final transmissions, Commander Adama arrests Sephoni and her entourage, on the belief that they are knowingly complicit in the treachery (Battlestar Galactica: Death of Apollo #1-#2).
A grieving and intoxicated Captain Starbuck threatens to kill Sephoni in her brig aboard Galactica before being tranquilized by security (Battlestar Galactica: Death of Apollo #2). Adama and Starbuck discuss Apollo's fate and the need to press onward, during which Adama elicits a promise from Starbuck to not mount any rescue attempt (Battlestar Galactica: Death of Apollo #3).
Action
Captains Athena and Starbuck, with fellow conspirators Breena, Boomer, Greenbean and Sheba, make plans to use the Cylon Transport flanked by four Vipers (Battlestar Galactica: Death of Apollo #3).
After-Action
Apollo is examined by Doctors Salik and Madusa following his rescue, and is found to no longer be medically fit to fight in the front lines. He is relegated to duty in Core Command as a command operative (Battlestar Galactica: Death of Apollo #3—#4).
