 But when Adama calls for volunteers for a dangerous recon mission to locate the Cylon's home base, "The Colony," Racetrack volunteers.She succeeds, becoming the first human to see it, and allowing Adama to plan an assault on the facility, but is killed in action during that assault, immediately after arming her weapons.Soon thereafter, at a critical moment of events, an asteroid bumps into the Raptor, and Racetrack's hand slips onto the launch button, firing the Raptor's nukes; thus, Racetrack's last action is to save the humans and allied Cylons and to destroy the Colony.
