WHAT

THE

HELL

OK, I'm thinking we need to thin out the Raiders. bt, which one lets me take out multiple Raiders at once? Is it CIC or Main Batteries?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Kat)

Morale is dangerously low.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That's Main Batteries.

All righty then, I will Move to Main Batteries and discard TI-0 in the process and Launch a Nuke at the Basestar in Sector 3.

Nukes away! The die roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

I have an SP but what if that civvie is a party ship, full of morale?

Of course, on a raider activation, that civvie is dead anyway.

I'll go ahead and play SP-4.

We have SP. Let's see just how much devastation the Pradmiral wreaks:

Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Destroy them all! The entire sector is obliterated, for 1 basestar, 3 raiders, 2 heavy raiders - and the CSS Fukutitan. Its contents are:

0 Population

Both decoys have now been destroyed. Even worse, Galactica has no nukes left, none at all! Zarek is a man of simple tastes, and if Galactica has no nukes left, what use is it? Zarek's crisis card is:

Abandon Galactica
Admiral's Choice

I would invite Zarek to make his choice, but with all the nukes gone, there's only 1 viable option. Food falls by 1 and Zarek draws 2 Treachery.

A lack of basestars means the activation has no effect. However, this crisis does bring you your very first jump icon of the cycle! I'm sure you're all very proud. That concludes Zarek's turn. Kat's cards are going out. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

The bad news is, I did not draw an XO. The good news is... well first I'm going to play CS-3 and attack the raiders in my sector....
