 Frustrated, Adama orders the "Galactica"s Viper squadrons be placed on full alert, with their fighters ready to launch.As the Cylons attack, the "Galactica" is able to launch its fighters first, while the other battlestars are caught off-guard.The "Atlantia", with President Adar aboard, is destroyed, as are apparently the other battlestars; "Galactica" alone survives the Cylon assault.
