For same named battle in Original Series, see: Battle for the Agricultural Ships (TOS)
Impatient with the Galactican Fleet's inability to lead the Cylon battle fleet to Earth, the Imperious Leader orders an attack on the Fleet's agricultural ships.
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).
Analysis
The Cylons use only regular 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.
Notes
- The footage depicting this battle is reused from the Original Series' episode, "The Magnificent Warriors".
