The Combat Information Center, or CIC, is the nerve center of a Colonial Fleet warship. Located deep inside the ship in the most well-protected area, the CIC is where all command functions are executed from. Inside the CIC you can find the Commander of the ship and his XO, usually the CAG could be found from the CIC too, but if the ship is experiencing lack of manpower the CAG might be flying with the other Viper or Raptor pilots.
