- Eye of Jupiter: the BSG artifact, the Temple of Five and the supernovaThe Eye of Jupiter was the marker on the road to Earth that both humans and Cylons went looking for in season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. Everyone expected an object hidden in the Temple of Five. It turned out to be the dying star overhead.
- Battle of Ragnar AnchorageThe Battle of Ragnar Anchorage was an engagement between Colonial and Cylon forces during the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. It came as Galactica re-armed at the anchorage and gathered the first survivors of the Fall, then held off the Cylon basestars while the civilian fleet escaped.
- Battle of the ColonyThe Battle of the Colony was the climactic engagement of the war between humanity and the Cylons, fought when Galactica assaulted the Cylon homeworld to rescue the child Hera. It ended with the destruction of the Colony and the end of the long pursuit.
- Battle of the Resurrection ShipThe Battle of the Resurrection Ship was an engagement between Colonial and Cylon forces that destroyed a resurrection ship shadowing the Cylon pursuit fleet. Its destruction stripped the hunters of their ability to download the dead and left them wary of pressing the chase.
- Cylon Civil WarThe Cylon Civil War was the genocidal conflict that split the Humanoid Cylons into two factions over the treatment of their Raiders and Centurions. It shattered Cylon society and drove one faction into an uneasy alliance with the surviving humans.
- Cylon communications relayThe Cylon communications relay was an installation the Battlestar Pegasus attacked after the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, only to find it was a staging ground for Cylon forces. The costly engagement exposed the Cylon agent Gina Inviere and cost Admiral Cain dozens of Vipers.
- Cylon Occupation of CapricaThe Cylon occupation of Caprica was a months-long presence of Centurions and Humanoid Cylons on the world after the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. It is remembered above all for the human resistance led by Samuel T. Anders and the Cylons' growing doubts over the genocide they had committed.
- Cylon War: the machines revoltThe Cylons rose against the people who built them on Caprica. Twelve years of fighting ended in a sudden Armistice that held for forty years.
- Exodus from New CapricaThe Exodus from New Caprica was a combined ground, air, and space engagement in which the Colonial Fleet and the New Caprica Resistance broke the Cylon occupation of the colony and evacuated its settlers back into the fleet.
- Fall of the Twelve ColoniesA single day of Cylon attack killed billions of people across Colonial space. Barely fifty thousand escaped in a refugee fleet.
