For crying out loud!(astonished)
I missed that.
How were the Raiders pre-positioned at Cimtar?
I have seen nothing that convinces me that Cylons had any kind of jump drive integral to that Raider smallcraft.
Tanker craft may inflate a worm hole and make the transit allowing Raiders to come with them, but for them to escort a thousand raiders? The idea I have is that ten tankers is no where near enough.
That needs explanation.
Any takers?
