So googling "battlestars calendar" gave me amazing calendars full of viper pilots. I'm buying those too but I didn't have my question answered.

What is the year like for a battlestar in the 12 colonies? When are they active, when is it "safer" and when should I avoid attacking the 12 colonies.

Assuming I take all of the precautions (backdors in the navigation system, using humanoid cylons) is attacking the 12 colonies between August and November safer or more dangerous than the summer?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm planning an attack on the 12 colonies next year and I'm preparing now
