'GALACTICA' AT 40: THE ENEMY 'DECEPTION' REVEALED!

Classic Topps card.

In one of the main control areas of the Cylon Basestar, Centurions monitoring Colonial communications soon discover the truth about Apollo and Starbuck's 'squadrons' gambit, and open fire on them, as Saga of a Star World nears its explosive conclusion.


Not wanting to spend money on an all-new set for a brief sequence, the Cylons were filmed in an alcove on the Galactica bridge that would be bathed in blue light (which comes across as purple onscreen) to make it look alien, with the bridge monitors given different streaming pattern graphics. (These graphics also appeared on the Cylon tech for the subsequently filmed Gun on Ice Planet Zero).

The alcove can be seen here:
