Battle of the Guardian basestar Rescue on Caprica Battle of New Caprica


A rescue team is sent by Galactica to Caprica to rescue any remaining survivors. One the final jump to Caprica, Raptor 612 is lost because it jumps right into the middle of a mountain. The remaining Raptors continue on, then Starbuck, Helo, Sharon and the Marines continue on foot.

One klick away from the resistance's base camp, they see movement, and find Samuel Anders and his whole group. Starbuck is overjoyed to see him, but Anders warns that the Cylons are right behind them; the resistance's base was ambushed that morning, and half of Anders' men are dead (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I).

The Marines and Caprica Resistance members start coming under Cylon artillery fire. The team retreats to an old stone fortress and then the bombardment stops. They wait 18 hours only to discover that the Cylons have left permanently; Cavil mysteriously appears and claims that the Cylons are leaving and that humanity is spared. The rescue team returns to Galactica and Caprica is completely abandoned.
