It Appears That The Raven And Her Air Wing Got A Little More Than They Expected When They returned To The Void That was Encountered By The Raven Last November.

After A Raptor String Was Inserted Into The Void To Investigate The Ancient Signals Coming From It, What Soon Appeared Was Something The Cylons Had Lost During The First War.

  This Photo Was Taken Soon After Contact Was Confirmed:

And, In The Meantime, Another Mystery Was Solved: Last Time, Lt.jg.'Bluto' Of SPARTAN SQUADRON Was Lost In The Void For Still Unexplained reasons; He Re-Appeared,Being Pursued By This Cylon Base Star From The First Cylon War; For Some Reason, Did Not Have Any Raiders To Send After Him; However, It's weapons Were Still In operation, And, It Got A Lucky Shot,Killing Bluto Before He Could Reach The Safety Of The Raven.

Here Is An Extreme Close-Up, Shot By One Of the Blackbirds:

The Raven Air Wing Then Sprung into Action; With This Shot, HAMMERS SQUADRON Disabled The Base Star,Enabling It To Be Boarded By Raven MARDET Teams:

Led By The Raven's Head Security Officer,Under Classified Orders, Boarded The Old Base Star, And Begun To Collect Data,Intel, And Images; All Also Classified At This Time; They Met Some resistance, But Were Able To Accomplish Their Mission.

  The Biggest Discovery Was The Finding Of a 100 MT Nuclear Device At The Center Of The Base Star; One theory Is That The Base Star was To Be used As A Massive Kamikaze Ship, Used To Destroy A Large Group Of  Colonial Military Vessels; Fortunately, The MARDET Teams Got Out Safe.

However, After The Wing Was On It's way Back To The Raven, Cylon Forces Popped Up; Possibly To Seize This Weapon For It's Own Use; Unfortunately For them, The Timer Was Already ticking Down To Detonation; The Raven Air Wing Executed Combat Landings On the Raven, And  Raven was Able To Jump Clear Of The Shock Wave Which Came After This Explosion,Caught by Raven Cameras:

The Shockwave Ripped Apart A Nearby Planetoid, Along With The Cylon Base Star, And It's Raiders.

  A Most recent Recon Sweep Has revealed That the Void Entrance Was Obliterated, Leaving Behind Debris; In all Likelihood, The Void Has been sealed; However, it Cannot Be Scientifically Ruled out If there Is Another Entrance,Somewhere; Our Universe Has lots Of Unknowns.

  Our Casualties Were Light; And, If What we Learned Can Benefit The Colonies, And The Fleet, Then Bluto's sacrifice Was Not In Vain!
