The act of dropping a Battlestar several times the size of a Nimitz-class carrier into the atmosphere and going into freefall whilst launching fighters. The Battlestar then jumps back out into orbit less than 100
feet from the ground, leaving a flaming silhouette in its place and creating a megaginormous thunderclap. Also known as the Husker Hailmary, the Maneuver was patented by Admiral
William Adama, one of the greatest TV characters of all
time on Battlestar Galactica (
best show on television) and was one of the centerpieces of probably the best BSG (best show on television) episodes yet, "Exodus, Part II".
