==Plot==

''Shortly after the [[Battle of Cimtar]], ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' launches a risky offensive to retrieve ancient tones that could begin an earnest search for Earth.''

==Summary==
*Commander [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] and Colonel [[Tigh (TOS)|Tigh]] send [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]], [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and [[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] to a Colonial satellite planet, [[Maytoria]], occupied primarily by Sagittarians to retrieve several ancient books located there.
*However, the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] occupy the planet, and are guarded by three [[Basestar (TOS)|basestars]].
*To even the odds, the [[Viper (TOS)|Vipers]] are equipped with experimental stealth equipment to avoid detection.
*[[Serina]], [[Boxey (TOS)|Boxey]] and [[Muffit II|Muffit]] see off Apollo.
*The [[Colonial Warrior]]s manage to avoid detection by the basestars until Boomer collides with a [[Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raider]].
*Boomer's Viper crashes, but Apollo and Starbuck continue their mission. The Cylons manage to lock onto Starbuck and shoot him down as well. Apollo is forced to withdraw and return to ''Galactica''.
*Starbuck witnesses [[Centurion (TOS)|Centurions]] carrying Boomer's body, and assumes he is dead. After managing a painful wound, he passes out for a time, only to find himself too close to other Centurions, which he dispatches.
*[[Athena (TOS)|Athena]] is upset at the news of Starbuck's apparent demise. Apollo begs his father to stay in the area, but the commander believes the threat is too great.
*On the planet, Starbuck dons a portion of the Cylon armor as a makeshift attempt at camouflage, and hikes toward the city and two basestars, looking for any downed Vipers to salvage a communicator.
*He finds a Viper, but its comm system is down. He finds a portable communicator but it is damaged when another Cylon squad finds him.
*Starbuck is shot directly in the chest, but the Cylon armor saves him. Weaponless, he runs.
*Managing to get a weapon, but outnumbered, the situation is bleak until a massive explosion destroys the bulk of the Centurions.
*A tall beautiful brunette says "You look like a man in a spot of trouble" as other humans destroy the few remaining Cylons.

==Analysis==
*According to the question section in [[Classic Battlestar Galactica 3]], this comic series, based on characters and events of the [[Original Series]], are adventures that, like its [[Battlestar Galactica 0|comic series based on the 2004 "Re-imagined" television series]], occur "in-between" the canonical aired episodes.
*Without much preamble, the characters are launched to a mission.
*Based on the dress of [[Serina]] (still wearing her familiar robes from after the [[Battle of Cimtar]]), this adventure occurs before the Fleet's encounter of [[Kobol (TOS)|Kobol]] in "[[Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I]]".

==Questions==
*Was Maytoria encountered after the [[The Fleet (TOS)|Fleet's]] encounter at [[Carillon]]?
*What is Boomer's fate? ([[Classic Battlestar Galactica 2|Answer]])
