The Fall of Djerba was a conflict between Colonial and Cylon forces, which ended with the capture of the resort moon, Djerba, by rebelling Cylons early on in the First Cylon War. After the capture, the Cylons used the moon as a communications relay, a strategic outpost used to carry out biological experiments, and as a storage point for "spare [biological] parts".
Despite reconnaissance missions to the moon, Djerba remained in Cylon control for the majority of the War, even after Colonial units sabotaged the comm relay ten years after its capture ("Blood and Chrome").
