''For same named battle in Original Series, see: [[Battle for the Agricultural Ships (TOS)]]''<br />
<br />
Impatient with the Galactican Fleet's inability to lead the Cylon battle fleet to [[Earth (1980)|Earth]], the [[Imperious Leader]] orders an '''attack on the Fleet's [[Agro Ship|agricultural ships]]'''.<br />
<br />
Despite Galactican interception, the Cylons are successful in destroying all the Fleet's agricultural ships, forcing them to begin an agricultural colony on Earth ([[Space Croppers]]).<br />
<br />
== Analysis ==<br />
<br />
The Cylons use only regular [[Raider (TOS)|Raider]] craft for the attack and not the [[A-B Raider]]. This may indicate that the Cylons either did not believe it necessary for the A-B Raiders to be deployed in this mission, or that the A-B Raiders are few in number. <br />
<br />
