Destruction of Picon Fleet Headquarters

The Destruction of Picon Fleet Headquarters takes place during the First Cylon War. In one of the many attacks during the war, Cylons launch a devastating orbital bombardment on Picon, targeting both Picon Fleet Headquarters and multiple capital cities on the colony.
==Background==
Understanding the threat of the new Jupiter-class battlestars, Cylons decide to attack Picon to target Picon Fleet Headquarters, the seat of Colonial Fleets leadership. This is days before Jupiter-class battlestar Athena, assigned to Picon as per the Articles of Colonization, is set for delivery and deployment to Picon.
==Attack==
The Cylons are able to launch a massive orbital bombardment, destroying Fleet Headquarters and many capital cities. Picon is in flames, the admiralty is annihilated, leading to the greatest potential of defeat that the Twelve Colonies of Kobol have ever been accustomed to. 
=== Related Video ===
==Aftermath==
Rear Admiral Lucinda Cain assumes command of Colonial Fleet from Daidalos, doubling both as the construction center for Project Jupiter and as the ad-hoc Colonial Fleet Headquarters leading the war effort against Cylon aggression. As she does so, Cylons also launch an attack on Daidalos and the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards as it prepares to depart for Picon (Battlestar Galactica Deadlock).
==Notes==
* It can be inferred that the Cylons attacked Picon knowing that Athena was days away from deployment, and seizing a window of opportunity presented by its absence.

Destruction of Reptillian Cylons

Originally, the reptilian, serpent Cylons created a race of robots to service their needs and then they created the ultimate in machinery technology, the ruler known as the Imperious Leader. But due to a slight error in their programming, the Imperious Leader turned against his creators and ordered his subjects to exterminate all human life forms. Thus began a war with the Cylon Centurions that erased all of the human race in the star system. Reptillian Cylons were killed by Robotic Cylons and leaving behind a race of supermachines. Their robotic creations still bear their name.

Devanna

Devanna is a devout monotheist and young recruit of the Soldiers of the One, training on Gemenon alongside Lacy Rand, Odin Sinclair and Lexon.
She is among those who are unwittingly subjected to a simulated hijacking aboard the jump ship transporting new recruits to the monotheist compound in the Gemenese mountains. Unlike fellow recruit Cass, who breaks down under pressure, Devanna is defiant and openly praises the One True God in the face of "polytheist rebels". Refusing to renounce her god, Devanna is "shot" and a dummy is dumped out an airlock in place of her dead body. When the simulation ends, Devanna continues to the Monad retreat and is present at a cocktail party thrown in the recruits' honor .
Devanna is later present for training under Kevin Reikle at the STO training camp where Lacy Rand demonstrates her inexplicable ability to control a stolen Cylon soldier . Later she smokes coto with Rand and Odin Sinclair as the new recruits discuss their belief in the singular god, saying "God is love". Despite her religious conviction, Devanna aids Lexon and Sinclair in saving Lacy Rand from suspicious STO leadership. Shooting trainers Riekle and Diego, Devanna is prepared to escape the training camp aboard the jump ship, but remains with Rand as she orders the STO's Cylons and overthrows the Monad Church .

Devos

Devos is a resistance fighter serving on Alexa Flores' Twilight Command.
Prior to the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, Devos' occupation was that of a spy for the Colonial government, and thus uncovered the Cylons' plans and went to his leadership with this information, only to be dismissed out of hand. Or so he claims to Tyrol later on (Battlestar Galactica: Twilight Command 3).
Twenty-two days prior to the discovery of New Caprica, he participates in the reconstituted Twilight Command's operation to steal a Raptor from Galactica, and is subsequently imprisoned after that operation was thwarted (Battlestar Galactica: Twilight Command 2).
Along with the other members of the new Twilight Command, he settles New Caprica and, one year later, is swept up in their own resistance cell fighting the Cylons for their own survival (Battlestar Galactica: Twilight Command 1). 
He does not see eye-to-eye with Flores, but agrees with her that "there's no greater good," and often is at odds with Tomlin, the lone survivor from the original Twilight Command (Battlestar Galactica: Twilight Command 2). 
After Flores destroys Cavil's Centurion factory, Devos tells Tyrol of his belief that William Adama will return to rescue them, as he knows good leaders and that's what a good leader would do (Battlestar Galactica: Twilight Command 5).

DiMarco's planet

DiMarco's planet is a habitable planet inside Neutral Space visited by both the Colonials and the Cylons.
The Expeditionary Fleet dispatches Julian DiMarco and his expedition ship to this planet, which contains (unbeknownst to DiMarco or his crew) a separatist Colonial settlement (Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero 1, 2). 
The Colonial Fleet orders DiMarco to bomb areas of the planet, a planet that they believe to be uninhabited due to the ship's inability to detect much of anything in the atmosphere. However one of the areas that is bombed (much to DiMarco and his crew's horror) was a separatist colony, from which there was only one survivor: Byron Dane (Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero 1). 
William Adama is later dispatched to this planet to investigate DiMarco's disappearance (Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero 0), later discovering that DiMarco and his crew deliberately marooned themselves on the planet. As a result of the incident and the Fleet's involvement with the black operation, Adama takes the unusual measure of providing DiMarco and his crew with supplies needed to set up a settlement on the planet, against the Fleet's wishes (Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero 2).

Diana (TRS)

Diana was a Gemenese civilian transport in operation during the First Cylon War. Both Diana and her military escort were destroyed in an ambush by the Cylons, and 50 of her passengers and crew were captured. The survivors were sent to a Cylon lab on an unnamed ice planet, where they were subjected to inhumane experiments, in which nearly all were killed. 
Only two survivors remain when William Adama parachutes into the Cylon lab after Operation Raptor Talon. He musters all his strength to pry open the door to free the last two prisoners, but he cannot open it enough for them to escape. He is forced to abandon them when the facility (a basestar) begins to take off (TRS: Razor Flashbacks, Episode 6).
== Notes ==
* In Roman mythology, Diana is the goddess of the hunt and counterpart of the Greek Artemis.

Dick Durock

Dick Durock (18 January 1937—September 2009) was an American stuntman and actor.
Starting in 1967, Durock portrayed many characters in many science-fiction and drama TV shows of the 1960s through the mid-1990s. Quoting Durock from his biographical notes from his official web site:
:"You'll notice in the Filmography that in my career I've had a pretty liberal sprinkling of shows in the Sci-fi genre. Mainly, however, I usually played big mean thugs who the hero of whatever show I was doing at the time and would beat the %$@&^# out of. From Clint Eastwood and Charlie Bronson, etc., in feature films to Jim Garner, Tom Selleck, Lee Majors and whole bunch of others in TV. I worked a lot because of my size (6'5"- 215lbs) and kind of a rough look. Film heroes like to beat up guys bigger than they are....makes them look good and believe me, I made a lot of them look good over the years."
Durock had supporting or minor roles in classic SF such as Star Trek, The Incredible Hulk and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Durock gained his own stardom as the lead in the movie, Swamp Thing, co-starring with actress Adrienne Barbeau.
Durock portrayed the uncredited role of the Imperious Leader in the episode "Saga of a Star World."

Didi Cassidy

Didi Cassidy is the attorney for the prosecution in the trial of former President Gaius Baltar. 
Two weeks before the trial, Cassidy stays aboard , presumably for reasons of her personal security. 
Defense attorney Romo Lampkin, acting on one of his kleptomaniac urges, steals one of her sandals from her room while visiting her. By the wear of the sole of said sandal, Lampkin (and later ) are able to tell that she drags her feet as she walks 
Cassidy's main indictment against Baltar is a comparison of the number of humans who settled on New Caprica and the ones who escape from the planet, despite the fact that Laura Roslin wanted Baltar charged with genocide due to Roslin's visions of Baltar on with Caprica-Six. However, as there was no evidence for this, Cassidy goes after what Baltar did on New Caprica: as part of her case, she calls up Saul Tigh, Laura Roslin and Felix Gaeta. After Gaeta's perjury on the stand, Lampkin's places Lee Adama on the stand, which she vociferously objects to, referring to him as "defense council" throughout his time on the stand. Despite the fact that she fails to obtain a guilty plea, Roslin congratulates her for her work .

Diego

Diego was a leader in the Soldiers of the One training camps on Gemenon in the years before the First Cylon War. 
He was present on Gemenon when Clarice Willow attended the conclave meeting at the Monotheist Church retreat. When Willow's notion of Apotheosis was rejected by conclave member Obal Ferras, Diego was ordered to kill Willow. However, Willow was able to bring Diego to her side, convincing him that the church had lost its way and reminding him of the time - 10 years prior - when STO were considered saviors of monotheism. When the time came to eliminate Willow, Diego turned his knife on Obal Ferras, murdering him in view of the Holy Mother .
Later, Diego rounded up STO recruits at the spaceport on Gemenon and brought them aboard the ship headed to the retreat. Once aboard, the recruits - including Lacy Rand - were subjected to a seemingly real scenario in which the ship was hijacked by polytheist rebels who murdered Diego. Assessing their reaction to the scenario and the recruits' willingness to denounce God in order the survive, Diego later revealed the deception to the new STO and welcomed them to the training camp .
At the camp, Diego is disturbed to learn of an incident involving Lacy Rand giving orders to a U-87 robot soldier smuggled to Gemenon by the Ha'la'tha. Questioning her in his living quarters, Diego comes up with no answers and allows Lacy to leave. Mother, however, comes to visit Diego in his "rustic" tent, telling him in veiled terms to kill Rand and giving him Obal Ferras' ring .
Odin Sinclair then brings Rand to the disused temple, where he should kill her, but he hesitates. As then appear Diego and Kevin Reikle, Sinclair pretends to prepare to shoot Rand, but instead he tries to shoot Diego and Reikle, only to find out that his gun is not loaded. Diego starts to ridicule Sinclair for his failure, but before he can shoot Rand himself, he and Reikle are ambushed by the other new Recruits and killed in the ensuing firefight .

==Notes==
* When Galactica 1980 was originally conceived, it was to have featured the Original Series characters of and . However, as neither actor was available for the project, it was decided to advance the story line 30 years and feature two new characters, Troy and Dillon, as the new leads.

* Romance develops between Dillon and Jamie in the unproduced script "The Wheel of Fire."

Dionne Tyrol

Dionne Tyrol is the fictional daughter of Galen Tyrol and Sharon "Boomer" Valerii. She solely existed in the projection created and utilized by Valerii, based on plans made at a time when Valerii and Tyrol both thought they were human and were in a relationship, planning to settle down and have a child. In reality, Dionne does not physically exist, as Tyrol and Valerii's relationship broke down.
When Valerii came to The Fleet and was subsequently imprisoned in 's brig, she showed Tyrol the projection of the house on Picon, and Tyrol was only truly taken in by the illusion when he saw Dionne's image. In reality, Valerii had used the projection to manipulate and gain Tyrol's trust as part of her mission to kidnap Hera Agathon.
When Tyrol was informed of Valerii's duplicity shortly after her departure, he was reduced to a state of denial and went back into the projection on his own to find out if it was true. He breaks down when he finds no trace of either Valerii or Dionne .
==Notes==
* Had Dionne actually existed, she would have been a pure Cylon.
* Dionne would have been the cousin and genetic half-sister of Hera Agathon, as their mothers are clones.

Dirt eater

"Dirt eater" is a racial slur directed at the Tauron people . 
The slur takes its name from the fact that during wartime, Taurons suffering from "the spots" became so malnourished and desperate to fill their stomachs that they were forced to eat dirt from the ground (The Caprican).
"Dirt eater" was also used by members of the Tauron government's Heracleides forces against suspected Tauron rebels and rebel sympathizers during the colony's civil war (CAP: "The Dirteaters").

Disaster pod

A disaster pod is likely a container of essentials for use by Colonial Fleet crew members for use during an emergency.
The contents of the pod are never disclosed, but it is likely that it contains food rations, first aid kits, basic medications, and repair and rescue tools, as well as serving as a pressurized emergency escape enclosure when emptied, similar to what sick bay becomes if Galactica is lost. 
This container can then becomes a small unpowered ship with docking capabilities allowing it entrance on almost any ship, allowing people to be evacuated from ships where the normal airlock is damaged and unable to be used, this pod can be temporarily welded to almost any ship surface, allowing a small crew to escape into it and seal it behind them before releasing it so they can then be towed to a hangar deck and brought back inside a pressurized vessel 
Captain asks Colonel Saul Tigh to issue two disaster pods to aid the civilians aboard a caravan of passenger, cargo and utility ships gathered by new Colonial President Laura Roslin.
Tigh grants the request mostly out of favoritism to Commander Adama's last surviving son, believed earlier to be dead, but insists that they do not use Galactica crew to obtain or distribute them and at the understanding that Apollo would then rejoin Galactica's airgroup as senior pilot and CAG .
