A standoff over a mysterious religious artifact leads to a temporary (as of yet) standoff between Battlestar Galactica and Cylon forces.

Shortly after The Temple of Five is discovered during the Colonial Fleet's food-collection operations on the Algae planet, four Cylon basestars jump into orbit.Admiral Adama orders all civilian ships to jump to emergency jump coordinates as the Cylons discreetly deploy one Heavy Raider to the planet's surface.

After a wireless transmission from the basestars to Galactica, Gaius Baltar, a Number Three, a Cavil, and Boomer of the basestars' command group come board Galactica in order to negotiate for control of the Eye of Jupiter, reported to be in the Temple, but no agreement is reached.

The Cylons soon jam all Colonial wireless frequencies. On the surface, Major Adama develops a plan to defend the Temple and their base camp, placing Samuel Anders in command of all civilians present, and using Captain Thrace's Rapter, the only one on the surface, for reconnaissance.

Centurions from the first Heavy Raider have established a surface-to-air missile battery, and shoot down Thrace during her recon.

When six Heavy Raiders deploy from the basestars toward the planet, Admiral Adama prepares Galactica's missle launcers to fire six nuclear missiles at the surface and obliterating the Temple, as he had promised during the failed negotiations (The Eye of Jupiter).
