Description
At the outset of the First Cylon War, few could even imagine the magnitude of a true colonial fleet. Never before had the strength and war effort of all Twelve Worlds been combined into a singular force, and the prospect of it presented a plethora of unique and unforeseen challenges. The issues logistical support and coordination of such a fleet alone were unprecedented in colonial history and the leaders of the fledgling Alliance were soon confronted with the reality, that a political unification did not so easily translate to the battlefield.

Because of this and to bolster the Colonial's faltering morale, the newly combined forces of the Colonial Fleet held massive maneuvering exercises throughout the first months of the war. As they scrambled to present something akin to a unified front toward the enemy, the military leaders of all sides issued countless scenario orders in an effort to assess the combat readiness of the newly forming fleet.
Early projections and findings from those exercises were abysmal, showing rapidly failing command cohesion and insurmountable differences in doctrine. Even under the best of circumstances, the combining of the fleets would have been a massive, difficult undertaking. The first admirals of the Colonial Fleet did so practically under fire, and the Cylon knew of this weakness.

If they were to survive, the warriors of the Twelve Tribes would have to learn to think as one, and quickly. Otherwise, all of them would be scattered and lost, fighting alone even in the midst of their massed formations.
