Adama is the commander of the great military vessel Battlestar Galactica, commander of the refugee fleet, and military commander of the evacuees of the Twelve Colonies. He is also the spiritual leader of the surviving colonists, leading the quest for Earth.

He flew alongside his Executive Officer, Colonel Tigh, in their younger days, and later served with Commander Kronus aboard the battlestar Rycon.

As well as being a career military officer, Commander Adama is also a member of the Council Of The Twelve, the governing body of the Colonies. He, like many battlestar commanders and Colonial Service commanders, was as much a politician as a military commander; evidently, the Colonial Service Academy offered courses in political science and diplomacy as well as military training.

Adama was mistrustful of the Cylons at the time of the Peace Conference to end the Thousand Yahren War. He was the only battlestar commander to keep his ship on battle-stations drill, and as a result, the Galactica was the only battlestar to survive the Cylon sneak attack. (Another battlestar, the Pegasus, was later discovered to have survived, and to have raided Cylon outposts for a year after the destruction of the colonies.

Despite the destruction and great personal loss, Adama was able to organize the survivors in an escape from the Cylons and lead them on the search for Earth. Indeed, the word Adamah means "Earth" in the Hebrew language. Also, the word Adamas means "invincible" in Ancient Greek.

Adama is a fair and beloved leader, with almost unquestioned authority. He is a deeply religious man, and his visit to the planet Kobol and the Fleet's encounter with the Ship of Lights strengthened his belief that someday Earth would be found.

Thirty years after the destruction of the Colonies, Commander Adama has finally led the Galactican Fleet to the planet Earth. During the 30 years of exodus, a few changes have befallen Adama and the Fleet. Apollo has apparently died, although his step-son Troy is a captain in the Fleet and becomes a key figure (along with Lieutenant Dillon) in many of the missions to Earth. Adama's right hand man, Colonel Tigh, has been replaced by Colonel Boomer.

The finding of Earth does not prove to be the salvation that the Colonials had hoped for, however, as they find Earth to be woefully behind in technology and culture. Adama and his advisor, Doctor Zee, determine that the Earth is not yet ready for contact with Galactica or the Cylons. They decide that covert action would be more prudent, and thus begin a plan whereby they influence the people of Earth in the hopes of helping to prepare them for contact.

Commander of Another battlestar, the Pegasus. The Pegasus was later discovered to have survived, and to have raided Cylon outposts for a year after the destruction of the colonies.He is Sheba father.

Cain is a military leader who attained the status of a living war hero during the latter part of the Thousand Yahren War. Despite his popularity, Cain sometimes fails to live up to his reputation and seems quite unable to accept ideas other than his own. He is stubborn, but evidently knows how to run a military battlestar and execute a hindering plan against the Cylons.

Assigned to the Fifth Fleet as overall commander, Pegasus and that ill-fated fleet fought the Cylons at the Battle of Molecay. Presumed lost, the Commander managed to recover survivors from the disastrous battle and escaped to lightspeed. Since Cain knows that the Cylons would doubtless be between Molecay and the Colonies, he heads outward toward Gamoray.

Before the failure at Molecay and his presumed death, he apparently met Cassiopeia and knew Commander Adama. Both seemed to be friends of his, the former helping him recover from the death of his wife. As so far as is known, he has one daughter, Sheba, who matures into a Viper pilot that gave Apollo and Starbuck a run for their cubits prior to their discovery of Pegasus.

Cain oversees the continual "knocking down" of the Cylon forces on Gamoray, stealing fuel as the Cylons unwisely replenished and rebuilt. This is done with very little interference, since the Cylons are more intent on the Fleet assembled by Adama.

Sheba and Bojay encounter two Galactica pilots, who are subsequently brought before Cain for debriefing. While Cain mourns the news of the Cylon victory over the Colonials, and the utter holocaust conducted at the Colonies, he now has two battlestars at his disposal and nearly 200-240 fighting craft. This gives Cain an idea for taking over Gamoray and using it to strike back at the Cylons, which he presents to Adama, Colonel Tigh, Apollo, and Starbuck.

Commander Adama, senior officer to him, tells him that the plan is inadvisable and but will consider another alternative.

Sometime after presenting the plan to Adama, Cassiopeia visits Cain, who hears of his return through Starbuck. The two, while not being able to immediately warm up to him, went down to the Officer's Club. This caused Sheba, hating Cassiopeia for what she represented, to leave the Officer's Club.

Adama presents his plan on attacking the recently detected fuel tankers en route to Gamoray, using a squadron from both battlestars in the attack to raise morale. Cain, after some objection, goes along with the plan as well as conjoining the two major squadrons from the battlestars (Pegasus ' Silver Spar and Galactica's Blue). While Blue Squadron attacks the Cylon escort, Cain destroys the two tankers, hoping to force Adama into accepting his plan.

Adama isn't pleased, especially with Blue Squadron being deftly blamed for the destruction of the tankers. Cain presses on, but to no avail. Adama notes that Pegasus had a large enough fuel reserve to at least get the Fleet out of the system, but Cain disagrees. Adama has his fill of Cain's insubordinate actions and relieves him of duty.

Bojay and Sheba meet Cain in the Officer's Club of Galactica, informing him that they would help him regain command of Pegasus. He replies that he would do nothing that strikes as mutiny.

Cain later regains command of the battlestar Pegasus, admitting that if the two battlestars attacked Gamoray, there would be no Fleet left. As Pegasus is on the other side of the Fleet, he manages to sneak around and pin the attacking force of Cylon raiders, causing Baltar's forces to retreat.

Adama admits that the only way to now get fuel was from Gamoray, where the Imperious Leader would lead a dedication ceremony. Bojay, Sheba, Cassiopeia, Boomer, Apollo and Starbuck destroy the defense systems of the Cylon's outer capital, gaining access for fueling shuttles to take all the fuel they needed. Bojay is shuttled back to the nearby Pegasus, where Cain part ways with Sheba and Cassiopeia. Cain orders all unneeded personnel and Viper pilots off the ship via shuttle and Viper, while he, Apollo, and Starbuck attacked the two basestars. The basestars are positioned where they cannot fire without risk of striking one another. Cain, in a prime position, attacks both basestars after Apollo and Starbuck destroys the missile launchers of both craft.

Presumably, Cain and Pegasus are destroyed along with the second basestar. Yet, Starbuck incited speculation with the claim that Cain may have had Pegasus enter lightspeed before the base star's destruction. Regardless, Cain's fate remains unknown to all those but himself and his crew

He is the brother of Apollo and the son of Commander Adama. His sister is Lieutenant Athena, and his mother was Ila.

He dies in the first attack of the Cylons. Zac was shot down by a Cylon ambush. Zac's viper was damaged, and Apollo left him behind in order to warn the Galactica of the ambush.

Sergeant Omega hails from Sagitaria and is a long-time core command crewmember of the battlestar Galactica. Omega's task is more like that of an operations manager, and seems to have some way of reporting dire news in a consistent fashion to Tigh and Adama.

Despite being injured, he performs solidly when Galactica is rammed by two Cylon Raiders. He continually relays information from various systems to Colonel Tigh as they battle the raging inferno sparked aboard their ship. He acts as Tigh's right hand man during the ordeal, conducting emergency errands and well as maintaining a constant information flow .

Omega also appears in a variety of recruiting advertisements that are beamed from the Comm-Tel Ship for additional Warriors. One of these advisements manages to even inspire Nomen Maga and Bora to join up. They use their joining the military as a cover to come aboard the battlestar and try to exact vengeance upon Chameleon

Flight Corporal Rigel is a Colonial Core Command operative on battlestar Galactica. Rigel is noted for being a professional woman who approaches her responsibilities with enthusiasm.

Among her duties in Core Command, Rigel's primary responsibility is in the coordination of Viper defense and launch approval procedures (similar to a landing signal officer). She is also responsible for processing data Galactica receives from Vipers out on patrol. In one instance, she supplies information to Adama and Tigh concerning the Ravashol pulsar on Arcta.

Among her notable moments in Core Command, Rigel becomes quite joyous over the female pilots' successful defense of Salik's medical shuttle

Flight Sergeant Greenbean is a blonde, tall Viper pilot attached to Galactica.

Greenbean fights in the Battle of Cimtar. He contacts Starbuck and Boomer when notices Galactica withdrawing from the battle. Greenbean is one of the scouts that reports that there appears to be no Cylon pursuit after the exodus.

Colonel Tigh "dresses down" Greenbean after he discovers that he "liberated" rations for the bachelor party that the pilots hoped to throw for Captain Apollo. However, like the rest of the pilot corps, he is infected with a viral agent that almost kills him.

After a cure is discovered, he fights at many other engagements and has a keen tactical mind. While defending the Fleet from a raid, he and another flight sergeant, Jolly, realize that the Cylons are attacking the agro ships. However, this realization is belated, and most of the agro ships are destroyed; only one agro ship survives the engagement, sans its crops .

Greenbean is among the Warriors who briefly vanished during the Fleet's encounter with the Ship of Lights; launched to intercept the mysterious white ships, he and the rest of Red Squadron disappeared (War of the Gods, Part I). After counted as missing for a secton, Greenbean and the other eight pilots were found safe and well on the planet where Apollo had first discovered Count Iblis.

Sometime later, Starbuck wonders if Greenbean is one of those invited by Cassiopeia to the Spheroid Concert -- while he himself is trying to repair things between himself and Aurora, a past romantic attachment.

Doctor Wilker is experienced in a unique variety of electronic sciences, including but not limited to communications, robotics, and computational technologies.

Wilker builds and constructs the Muffit II robotic daggit as a favor to Apollo, programming it for Boxey's visual image that Apollo furnishes him. He had hopes to use the Muffit II as a template for other daggits to take watch over the Warriors as they rest in situations where they are isolated or on a ground mission.

Apollo later questions Wilker on the possibility that Iblis is an android construct, and Wilker mentions (interesting and ironically enough) that such a feat is possible with Colonial technologies. He later is sent on a mission to find out what exactly caused the "miracle" growth of the edible plants on the Agro Ship Nine, during Iblis' visit to The Fleet. He discovers that the plants had been subjected to a growth-inducing radiation.

Additionally, he apparently is also on call to do forensics for the Fleet, as he tests Starbuck's laser pistol to confirm whether or not the energy expended upon Ortega's corpse is the same as the energy expended from Starbuck's pistol. Unfortunately, it is, albeit it is later proven that Karibdis had terminated Ortega using the pistol while Starbuck was showering.

Wilker also is responsible for experimenting with the Lunar Seven shuttle that Michael liberates from the Eastern Alliance, although he tends to be over the line in his experiments, and is ordered by Adama to desist .

Boomer noted that Wilker could do thousand-fold better than him to clear up the transmission that Apollo receives in the old Gamma frequencies, although he apparently is over at the electronics ship (the Celestra, most probably) at the time. Wilker never has the chance to look at it, since his lab is destroyed when Galactica fences with the lone Cylon base star that Apollo and Starbuck blind.

Corporal Lomas is Galactica's Duty Officer for new Colonial Warrior recruits. Lomas is rendered unconscious by Borellian Nomen (Maga and Bora, two pseudo-recruits) on a blood trail when they trick him into securing a private space for them to pray in.

"Colonial Warrior" is a universal term to describe the highly-skilled Viper pilots and soldiers of the Colonial military. Warriors are extremely versatile in many combat roles, and are well regarded for extremely unconventional thinking for special missions.

Attrition, both from the destruction of the Colonies as well as the pursuit of the Cylons forces the Colonial military to recruit within the Fleet. Refugees who are between the ages of 16 and 46 yahren and not presently serving in a highly critical civilian occupation are encouraged to contact Galactica recruitment about applying for Warrior training.

Warriors wear a beige-colored uniform with a red-brown jacket with a laser pistol as the standard issue sidearm. On some occasions, they may also wear a small cape.

Pilot candidates are trained on Galactica's flight training rooms, which simulate Viper flight characteristics and allow virtual combat training against a Cylon Raider. Shuttle pilots are not Warriors, but can be trained and promoted to this status

Bojay is a Viper pilot in the Colonial Fleet, holding the rank of lieutenant.

Bojay was attached as a Viper pilot aboard Galactica before being transferred to Pegasus and the Fifth Fleet two yahren prior to the Battle of Cimtar.

As with the rest of the Pegasus crew, Bojay is believed to have died at the Battle of Molecay. Instead, Commander Cain's undertook the unorthodox maneuver to take an indirect route to the Colonies, believing that the Cylons were lined up between Molecay and the Colonies.

Apparently typical of the Pegasus crew, Bojay finds offensive strikes to be as easy as breathing, and worships Cain as a "living legend". Ever since, he has participated in attacks on Gamoray, thwarting the Cylons' plans to make it the center of their "outer capital" and raiding it for fuel and other supplies.

Bojay and Lieutenant Sheba intercept Galactica Viper pilots Apollo and Starbuck while they are on a routine recon mission, subsequently escorting them back to Pegasus.

Bojay brags about the accomplishments of Cain during and after the Battle of Molecay, and is one of the first people (along with Cain's daughter, Sheba) to suggest mutiny after Adama relieves the war legend of command. He and Sheba both draw their laser pistols on Apollo, Boomer and Jolly during an attempt to transfer fuel to Galactica and the Fleet, as ordered by Commander Adama. However, they holster their weapons when Baltar and the Cylons begin an attack on the Fleet, and the incident is never brought up again.

He, along with Sheba and a small, but armed, group of Pegasus pilots hinder Apollo, Flight Sergeant Jolly and Starbuck from completing a necessary fuel transfer from Pegasus stores to the Fleet. Fortunately the oncoming onslaught of Cylon fighters diffuses this confrontation. After thwarting Baltar's devestating attack on the Fleet, plans are drafted to take the Cylon fuel stores on Gamoray.

Later, Bojay joins a fire team that takes care of the Cylon control center on Gamoray while Galactica shuttles would stock up with tylium fuel to get the fleet past the besieged "outer colony". He is injured during a ground skirmish with Cylon Centurions, and has to be evacuated to the nearby battlestar Pegasus, by order of Medtech Cassiopeia. He and other injured and "non-essential" personnel are shuttled to Galactica prior to Pegasus' attack on two Cylon basestars

Bojay is absorbed into Blue Squadron. He is one of the fighter pilots that goes missing by the intervention of the Beings of Light

The Beings of Light are a mysterious race that travel using the Ship of Lights. Called angels by the primitive people on Kobol, these creatures helped them develop the civilization that would become the Twelve Colonies.

Apparently mistakes were made in the past by these advanced beings, as they seem reluctant to interfere directly with the Colonials or the Terrans. They help Apollo and battlestar Galactica save the Terrans from themselves.

Count Iblis is a fallen member of this race, who has chosen to use his powers for darker purposes

Salik, the senior life-sciences officer on Galactica, is an aging male who had been with the battlestar prior to the destruction of the Colonies. He has a long and decorated history of abiding to the Hippocratic Oath. His high morals have made himself a logical friend of Commander Adama's for quite some time.

Salik and a contingent of medtechs volunteer to take a medical shuttle down to an asteroid where Jolly and Boomer are infected with a seemingly incurable disease. Although Salik attempts to do his best to cure all those infected, he is unable to do so without obtaining a living virus culture itself. Under escort by rookie shuttle-turned-Viper pilots trained by Apollo and Starbuck, he and his medtechs manage to devise a cure for the ailment.

Along with Cassiopeia and other medtechs, Salik later saves Adama's life, although not without a few scares first -- particularly power-interruptions from destabilized energizers .

Sometime later, Salik attempts to gather readings on Count Iblis, although that goes nowhere. However, despite his nature, Colonel Tigh notifies Adama that Salik was the first person to be enjoying the apparent good fortune that had fallen upon them in the form of inebriation.

Later on, Salik is one of of several who attempt to determine what exactly Michael and his family/crew were. He does object to Wilker's rather unscientific attempts to discern the technology in the Terran-made craft, and later on flat-out refuses to the Quorum's and Sire Geller's edict to open up the cryogenic suspension chambers on the Lunar Avion. Due to this act, Salik is relieved from duties regarding the "Earthlings."

In concert with Starbuck, Apollo, Adama, and Cassiopeia, they plot to put Michael and the other Terrans back in their craft and send them on their way with a Viper escort. Salik happens to be in the bay at the time the Avion launches. When Sire Geller inquires on being in the life-sciences station, he comments, barely able to withhold his laughter, that Geller had relieved him earlier.

The eldest son, Kyle, is their de facto leader. Eldest daughter Miri is their moral leader and acting mother. The other children include Ariadne and brothers Nilz and Robus.

Kyle, who had previously lied to Starbuck that his father (Megan) was dead, has secretly conspired with Specter and the Cylons to trade Starbuck for his imprisoned father. Specter gives the good news to Megan, who reluctantly agrees to cooperate.

Kyle finally agrees to allow Starbuck to lead their forces, although Kyle will remain as the second-in-command. Together with their whole clan they compose a battle plan, and a rhyming poem to match, to attack the Cylons occupying their castle:

Through the tunnel, under the land/Starbuck and Miri creep hand on hand.

We swim the moat to the petro dump/And blow it up with a great big whump!

At the bridge, the youngest daughter/Drops tin cans into the water.

And around the castle, the son firstborn/Rides at a gallop and blows his horn.

We go up the steps to the castle floor/And sneak a peek through the secret door.

Although the dump is double-guarded/We'll sneak across when the guards are parted.

Robus sets one bomb and then the other/Leaving the rest to his older brother.

When all is ready across the moat/Kyle will sound the signal note.

At the bridge, the youngest daughter/Drops tin cans into the water.

Through all the confusion, noise, and bother/Starbuck and Miri rescue father.

Adar is President of the Colonies, leader of the Quorum at the time of the decimation of the Twelve Colonies of Man, as well as commander of the battlestar Atlantia.

Lord Baltar deceives him into embracing the façade of a forthcoming peace with the Cylon Empire. Adar holds back his guard despite repeated warnings from Commander Adama on Galactica, who warns of possible Cylon treachery. As a result, only Galactica is prepared sufficiently to fight off a massive Cylon Raider force that attacks the unprepared Colonial fleet. Adar laments, too late, on the horrific discovery that the peace effort was all a front for the Cylon's final strike against humanity.

Adar perishes when Cylon Raiders attack the unprepared Atlantia at Cimtar, destroying all other battlestars at the conference, save Galactica

Sire Geller is yet another incompetent member of the Quorum, attacking the policies of Adama at the time Michael, Sarah, and their children from Terra are brought aboard. Apparently, he is a very vocal and influential member, albeit short-lived for he is embarrassed publicly in front of the entire Fleet for the loss of the Terrans' ship. Geller isn't fond of Lieutenant Starbuck and Captain Apollo either ("Do we have to have those two?"), likely due to their loyalty to Adama.

Tolan is the executive officer of the battlestar Pegasus, commanded by Commander Cain.

Although he is loyal to Cain, Tolan apparently doesn't totally reject Tigh's command of Pegasus during Cain's mitigation of command.

For his part, he warns Tigh to wait to transfer the fuel until things had calmed down a bit (i.e., probably when Cain returned to Pegasus)

He remains aboard Pegasus as it makes its assault on the two basestars

The Quorum of Twelve, also known as "The Council of Twelve" or "The Council", is a group of politicians who gather together to make up the laws and practices for the people of The Twelve Colonies.

The Quorum consists of one representative from each colony and is presided over by the President. Each representative, as well as the President, is elected to their position.

The Quorum members were usually given a Seal of the Lords as a symbol of their position in the Colonial Government. But the Seals were apparently lost over time, and Commander Adama of battlestar Galactica and Lord Baltar possessed the last two Seals

After the destruction of the Twelve Colonies and the death of President Adar, Commander Adama, of the planet Caprica, is installed as interim leader of The Council, operating under martial law. The council can still make laws and practices but Adama controls the overall actions of the Council.

The council does try to take control again when The Eastern Alliance prisoners are taken into custody aboard Galactica. But when the Alliance prisoners, along with Baltar and three Borellian Nomen try to escape and use the council as hostages, the council gives control back to Adama.

Sarah Fowler is a human female born on one of the Lunar Colonies.

Along with Michael and his only child, Fowler and her three children manage to escape the Eastern Alliance-dominated Lunar colony via the Lunar Shuttle Avion. Their destination is Paradeen, where her father, John Russel Fowler, and his two androids, Hector and Vector, built a house for them to reside in. Their plan is to get there, destroy the ship, and live out the rest of their lives without worrying about the Eastern Alliance. This plan might have worked without a hitch were they not encountered by the patrol of Apollo and Starbuck.

Sarah harbors negatively dismissive views on technology, due to the fact that she and her children were hindered by their inability to breathe in heavier atmospheres (thanks to Terran enhancements of those who wished to settle the Lunar colonies.) Due to this, she despises and feared all those who favor technology; though she doesn't seem to be able to back up her viewpoints due to an ignorant bias.

When they are intercepted by Apollo and Starbuck, she is the first to be revived from suspended animation by Michael, who knows that they are not where they are supposed to be. After Michael's glorified asthmatic episode, he and Sarah are placed in chambers set to their atmosphere pressure. With the help of Galactica's sympathetic crew, they are sent on to their destination, programmed automatically into the Avion's onboard computer.

After landing on Paradeen, and meandering about the surroundings, she discovers that her father died of natural causes. Later on, it is revealed to the Colonials (Cassiopeia, Starbuck and Apollo) that they were not related to one another at all. She proves to be over-protective of her children, doing her best to curtail all knowledge of Terra, for she didn't want her children knowing much about a planet they can never go back to.

She attempts a few advances on Apollo, expressing a wish to be his lover. She expresses to him her fear of Michael, due to his views about technology. Later on she admits that she was the one who damaged all the equipment onboard the two Vipers, though they can be salvaged to assemble enough working controls for one Viper. By doing thus, she presumes that she would maroon Apollo on Paradeen, so that he could spend the rest his life with her and her children. Michael chastises her while his mind is on the disappearance of Starbuck, who is lost in the catacombs of Paradeen City.

During the night, she and baby Walker are captured by the Leiter's Eastern Alliance's officers. She manages to reveal little, and is responsible for delaying the Eastern Alliance and effecting the escape of Baby Walker.

After the situation is resolved and the Easter Alliance enforcers are captured, she decides that she likes Michael and wants to stay with him

Originally hailing from Terra, Michael was the subject of experimentation by one of Terra's political divisions for life on the Lunar colonies. With Sarah, who was evidently an acquaintance, her children, as well as Melanie, they fled the Lunar colonies successfully via the Lunar Seven shuttle Lunar Avion he liberated for this purpose.

However, thanks to Lieutenant Starbuck and Captain Apollo, the ship is automatically intercepted and brought aboard the Galactica. The tampering of Doctor Wilker, despite his best efforts, accidentally revives Michael. He exits the craft through the decompression chamber, and stuns Reese after he doesn't heed Michael's warning. Michael's life is endangered due to the (relative) high-pressure of Galactica's life support systems.

When Apollo, Starbuck, Doctor Salik, and Cassiopeia return Michael to his ship, he demands to know what is going on and the reason his ship had been pulled off course. After being informed of the reasons, he arrives at the conclusion that there are similarities to his and the fleet's plights. He re-enters the cryogenic chamber, as does his companion, Sarah.

With the ship back in space and on its original course, it eventually reaches its destination, Paradeen. Upon landing on the planet, they discover that Sarah's father has died, and that the droids managed to finish building the house. Much to the surprise of the Colonials, Michael isn't actually Sarah's husband. His faith in technology and Terra put him at odds with her. An instance of this came when Hector and Vector wanted to perform a dance from the Royal Theater on Terra.

Upon discovering Hector's failure to deactivate and destroy the tracking beacon, he fears that it would herald the end of them all.

Michael later chastises Sarah for damaging the controls of both Vipers after discovering that she wants Apollo to stay on the planet for reasons of courtship. Subsequently, Michael accompanies the party that goes after Starbuck in the catacombs of the nearby major city.

Michael is also responsible for dealing with Leiter and his men. Interestingly enough, however, after Leiter and his men are dealt with, Sarah and Michael grow closer and she becomes less and less inclined to fight him.

John is a so-called "Being of Light".

He informs Apollo of the situation on Terra, hoping that Apollo will be able to resolve it peacefully. John's chief concern was that any outcome concerning the planet will have drastic intergalactic consequences. Although the consequences aren't stated, it is presumed that the Terrans are instrumental in some sort of long-term plan.

John tells Apollo that his "physical appearance" was a reflection of intelligence (i.e., spirit), and that he could do nothing outside the colossus (presumably, the Ship of Lights itself. As such, Apollo's assistance is needed. John, like any other Being, apparently could cause memory blocks and unblock them, as well as work through them by giving them a protective aura. He also comments on the fact that he needed humor in order to communicate with other "primitive" races.

In the apartment of Brenda Maxwell, Apollo speaks to John, who can't be heard or seen by anyone else. Under the guise of Charlie Watts, Apollo appears to be somewhat mentally unstable.

John is instrumental in also recruiting Starbuck, who could hear him, but only see him after John gives him the protective aura. John then presumably talks to the Beings of Light by looking up in the sky, saying, "It's the best I can do with the material I've got. They're primitives!"

Ironically, John's objectives for Apollo to solve the Terran situation peaceably fail. Galactica's intervention forces the Eastern Alliance to accept the peace accord from the Nationalists. John does admit, however, after some pestering from Apollo, that Terra isn't Earth and that they still had a long, interesting journey ahead of them.

Brenda Maxwell is the daughter of career Nationalist military officer General Maxwell. Prior to his disappearance, Brenda is romantically involved with Colonel Charlie Watts.

Maxwell first meets Apollo (who appeared to be Charlie), under the impression that she was phoned. She picks up "Charlie", who appeared to be downright confused (obviously, as Apollo knew nothing of Terra), and takes him back to her apartment. During the initial conversation, Apollo is so disoriented and doesn't pick up on her remark about him having amnesia; he believes it to be her name.

Concerned about Charlie, Maxwell contacts the Nationalist Security force, where officer Brace then takes Apollo. Her father later comes to her, lambasting her for her involvement with "Charlie." However, they, too, are taken to the Nationalist government building.

Incarcerated together, Apollo and Starbuck manage to convince the Terrans that they are indeed from another galaxy.

Starbuck has Maxwell drive him to the site where he landed, aiming to prove that they are indeed "extraterrestrial." Despite managing to find the Viper, almost before it was too late, Maxwell couldn't believe that the story is true.

Hector is an android created out of "spare parts" by the android, Vector, before the death of John Russel Fowler, father of Sarah Fowler.

Despite Hector's "heritage," Hector is the kinder of the two. Hector assists in constructing the grave and the domicile in time for Michael's ship to land on the planet Paradeen.

Hector mistakes Starbuck, who has shaggy dark-brown hair, as Sarah Fowler's oldest child, Charity. Hector also forgets to disable the transmitter, which results in yet more ire from Vector.

Hector additionally assists in taking Starbuck to the city, later returning to the farm to gather assistance. While he is constantly bashed by the senior android, Vector, Apollo tells him it was the right thing to do. Later on, after the Eastern Alliance enforcers are rounded up, and at the permission of Sarah, the androids finally get to perform a dance from the Royal Theatre of Terra .

Vector is an automaton created by John Russel Fowler to aid him in the maintenance of his Paradeen residence. Vector consequently built Hector from "spare parts" to aid him in building the residence for Sarah Fowler, Michael and the children.

Vector continually berates Hector for errors in judgment and seems to be the more cantankerous yet level-headed of the two automatons.

Apparently knowledgeable about Terra, Vector attempts to perform a piece from the Royal Theater of Terra, an event interdicted by Sarah.

After the encounter with the Eastern Alliance, she relents, permitting Hector and Vector to put on a show for the children .

General Maxwell is a career military officer for the Nationalists of Terra as well as father to Brenda Maxwell, his only child apparently. He knows Colonel Charlie Watts, and probably is his subordinate, along with Colonel Stone, whom he calls "Stoney". He has some sort of friendship with President Arends, whom he is forced to investigate later on after Arends began shutting out the Nationalist Precedium. He attempts to bypass the Eastern Alliance forces of Lunar One to gather intelligence on the happenings there. His reconnaissance mission fails and he returns to Terra.

After returning to Terra, he visits his daughter who told him that Charlie (actually Apollo) is also back on Terra. With this knowledge, he has vital information to report. However, Brace and his officers take "Charlie" away after Brenda contacts them. He chastises her, not that it mattered, as he and Brenda are captured and brought to "Charlie." Apollo tries to convince the three Terrans that he isn't Charlie Watts, but fails until Starbuck rescues them.

General Maxwell, Stone and the Warriors attempt to get an audience with President Arends, but are unable to do so alone. In front of the entire Precedium, he (and, later on, Apollo) attempts to convince Arends and the Precedium members that the Nationalists would not agree to the peace treaty. Sure enough, they are right. As the members of the Precedium flee in vain to shelter from the nuclear weaponry, Maxwell derisively tells Arends to frame the treaty because they would all be dead within six minutes.

Galactica, however, manages to destroy all the nuclear weaponry, scaring the Alliance into accepting the peace accord. When Maxwell tries to thank Apollo and solicit Colonial technology, John pulls him out of the Precedium.

Colonel Charlie Watts is a soldier for the Nationalists of Terra. He has performed special missions for General Maxwell and President Arends; he abruptly left Brenda Maxwell six weeks prior to Apollo's arrival on Terra. At some point he was captured by the Eastern Alliance, and is held prisoner on Lunar One, according to John.

John has Apollo assume Charlie's identity in order to attempt to convince the Terrans to avoid an impending nuclear holocaust. Apollo is greeted on Terra by Brenda Maxwell, who apparently has been romantically involved with Charlie Watts prior to his capture. "Charlie"'s erratic behavior prompts Brenda to contact Nationalist security forces, and Apollo is apprehended.

John describes Watts as "something of a scoundrel" and a handsome man .

Imperious Leader: controls all Cylon forces and rules the empire. The Imperious Leader is distinguished by taking on an appearance meant to resemble the reptilian Cylon race.

IL-series (or the "IL group"): Robots that typically take on the administrative duties of the Cylon Empire.

Command Centurion: Robots with gold plated armor that are analogous with commanders in the Colonial Military.

Cylon Centurions: These robots are the chrome plated foot soldiers, pilots, and labor force for the Cylon Empire.

Cylon "civilians": According to Colonel Tigh, he picks up civilian transmissions of a Cylon nature on Gamoray.

Taba is an impulsive Borellian Nomen youth. Taba almost destroys the Nomen's hunt for the "jackal, Captain Dmitri."

Taba is first forgiven by his elder, Maga, who excuses the Nomen's actions as the result of excitement and drink. However, when Taba comments that the Warriors are insulting him, Maga has him disowned and would exact extreme punishment that apparently has a low survival rate .

Taba apparently could not yet be stricken from the "Roster of the Nomen," due to Maga's inability to contact other Nomen.

Taba rejoins Maga, suggesting that they either accept him fully or in some form as to prove himself, and evidently succeeds. He escapes with his brethren and Eastern Alliance forces

Bora is a Borellian Nomen who is a member of the Fleet. He travels with Maga and Taba on a blood hunt for "Captain Dmitri", an alias for Chameleon. Bora, who is Taba's elder, bears the responsibility for the actions of the brash Taba. However, he cannot save Taba's extradited banishment of him to the "weak" Colonial warriors by his leader, Maga.

Bora and Maga pose as recruits to track down "Dmitri", eventually making way to the launch bay. After a brief melee with Starbuck they are nearly killed by Chameleon as he fires the Viper's lasers into the launch tube. Bora is sent to the Prison Barge along with Maga, where Taba apparently already resides. Bora eventually escapes from the Barge to Galactica, and from there to the Eastern Alliance destroyer commanded by Leiter. Whereabouts unknown.

Ovions are insectoid creatures that manage a mysterious gambler's paradise on the planet Carillon. They are one of the members of Cylon Alliance. Their extensive tylium mines are an extremely valuable asset.

The Ovions use Carillon's playground on the surface to attract their prey. The chancery is rigged to let the players always win, and there is grog and entertainment to keep the people occupied. Ovions occasionally prowl discreetly on the entertainment level, but generally remain out of sight. Individual humans are trapped selectively when they enter the elevator, and are taken into the hive-like structures underground instead of their desired destination. They are then placed into chambers which slowly transform them into food.

Cassiopeia is trapped in such a manner, until she is rescued by Starbuck and Apollo. They are presumably wiped out when Carillon is destroyed by the explosion of the tylium mines.

Lotay, Queen of the Carillonian Ovions, welcomes the Rag-tag Fugitive Fleet to make themselves at home on Carillon. However, Lotay and her minions are in league with the Cylons, who at the time are dispatched from the Imperious Leader's personal base star.

Due to the Cylon base star's actions, Lotay and her Carillonian minions are destroyed along with the planet when its highly unstable tylium deposits are ignited.

Seetol is the Ovion aide to the Ovion's Queen, Lotay.

Seetol always seems to do the work behind the scenes of the façade chancery on planet Carillon, including meeting with a Cylon Centurion to inform the Cylons of the situation with the Colonials on-planet

Specter, who is an earlier IL-series model. Specter and the Cylons, who had the same plan, push a likewise-fake dummy of Megan in a raft across the moat to the children. When Specter realizes that he has been deceived, the Cylons open fire on the children's position. He files one final (bogus) report with Baltar. Immediately thereafter, the entire Cylon force departs Attila, as it is "too rusty for their circuits.

Code-named Proteus, Karibdis was Lord Baltar's pilot and top electronics expert during the Colonial war with the Cylons, and apparently in on the plan to use the Cylons to have Baltar obtain power. In turn, it is probable that he was also promised great things upon Baltar's ascension to dictatorship. Karibdis greatly assisted Lord Baltar's plans for domination by disabling the defensive equipment on Caprica, thus allowing the Cylon holocaust to occur without at least some defensive action; he is responsible for the death of a million Capricans. Left unchecked, the Cylons decided to wipe out everything, leaving Karibdis in a precarious situation. Of course, like Riftis (alias: Chella) and Elias, he bartered his way to The Fleet that Adama had instituted by bribing Flight Sergeant Ortega.

He took on the name Pallon and managed to hide himself within the bowels of the assemblage of refugees. No one knew of his existence, as he apparently managed to keep himself out of the public eye -- which is probably the reason that Baltar kept him on in the first place -- in the Fleet as a waiter on the Rising Star. However, Ortega made a mistake of blackmailing him, and as a result Karibdis kills him -- pinning the blame on Starbuck, using Starbuck's sidearm while the warrior is in the Triad prep locker's turbowash.

Of course, being an unknown, Adama is unable to physically identify Karibdis -- though the Commander is instrumental in pointing the way to Ortega's killer and allowing Apollo to request Baltar's services. En route back to Galactica, after Baltar's transfer to the shuttle from the Prison Barge, Karibdis (Pallon) reveals himself and, in stereotypical criminal style, divulges everything over an open comline that the Tribunal enters into evidence.

During this, Baltar wants Karibdis to remove his cuffs, however Karibdis wants to kill them both, making it look like they both killed each other. A logical presumption on Apollo's part, and it influences Baltar to make his move and disarm Karibdis .

It can be presumed that he is spending some very valuable countless centares with Baltar and others on the Prison Barge.

Charka is the executive officer of the electronics ship Celestra.

Charka knows how to play all the sides, and is knowledgeable in being a manipulative artist as he vies for command of the ship. He presumes he would be able to command the Celestra, with Commander Kronus commanding three other ships as well, however Kronus thinks otherwise and still retains command of the ship.

After a thwarted mutiny lead by Damon, Charka begins plotting a way to easily remove Kronus from command and sends the shuttle, along with Apollo, Starbuck, and the mutineers, away from the Fleet.

Of course, he provoked the mutiny by working the crew on 16 centar shifts, little relax time, and restricting the crew's ability to travel throughout the Fleet. He sends faulty coordinates for the Fleet to the shuttle, and waits until the ship is out of range, hoping that Kronus' death would allow his ascension to commander of the Celestra.

However, thanks to the efforts of the Warriors and mutineers, Charka is in for a surprise. The ship is taken from him, and he is arrested for attempts to mutiny against his commander and for murdering him.

Damon is a crewmember of the electronics ship Celestra. He orchestrates a mutiny against the conditions instituted by Commander Kronus' second-in-command, Charka.

He, his lover Aurora, and six others sabotage a turbodyne and attempt to liberate a shuttle from Celestra's bays, only to be thwarted by Apollo and Starbuck. En route to The Fleet, Damon has doubts about the relationship between Aurora and Lieutenant Starbuck. After Aurora fails to convince him her feelings for Starbuck were that of yesteryahren and that she was in love with him; it takes Starbuck to set him straight, for the Warrior tells Damon that he would be a fool if he allowed Aurora to slip through his fingers. He concedes the point and makes amends with Aurora as the rest of the mutineers work to outfit the shuttle's scanners.

Hermes is the helmsman for the electronics vessel Celestra who is in league with Charka. He goes as so far as to aid the executive officer's attempt to attain command; mutiny by any other name. Charka orders him to shut down all forms of electronic tracking, thus preventing Commander Kronus from finding the Celestra once beyond the "point of no return". Unfortunately for him, Apollo, Starbuck, Kronus and the octet of mutineers manage to overpower Charka's supporters, including Hermes.

Aurora is a past romantic interest of Starbuck's. Starbuck assumes that Aurora was killed on Caprica during the Cylon Attack. Much to his surprise however, Aurora has been working on the electronics ship, Celestra, and has been listed in the Fleet's Computers as a shuttle pilot for Commander Kronus. When he attempts to reacquaint himself with her, she blows him off, correctly stating that if he had cared enough, he could have found her via the Fleet's Computers.

During the award ceremonies, Aurora gathers navigational information from Galactica on a nearby planet located somewhere in Beta Sector so that she and her fellow mutineers, lead by her lover Damon, may settle there away from the Fleet. The impetus for this mutiny lie in the oppressive conditions imposed by Celestra's XO, Charka.

When Starbuck and Apollo just happen to thwart this mutiny, Kronus elects to take her and her compatriots to the Galactica to personally oversee the dispensation of consequences. En route, however, the mutineers claim that they mutinied against him because of the oppressive conditions imposed upon them by Charka; they assumed he did so by Kronus' blessing.

When the guidance feed from the Celestra is terminated purposely (thus proving Charka's involvement), leaving the shuttle out into space unguided, the mutineers barter a deal: in exchange for a fair trial, they would enhance the sensors of the shuttle so they would be sensitive enough to detect the Celestra's low power emissions.

During the endeavor, Damon has doubts as to whether or not Aurora would ever be satisfied with him. However, Starbuck convinces him that he is no obstacle between them, thus receiving her appreciation.

After retaking the Celestra, she and her fellow mutineers are absolved of the charges of mutiny.

Commander Kronus is a highly distinguished, career Colonial Military officer who previously commanded the battlestar Rycon and over 600 offensive-capable spacecraft that comprised of the Fourth Fleet. Under his command, he thwarted a major Cylon offensive at the Battle of Cosmora Archipelago, despite injury and massive suffering. Sometime after the engagement, Adama was his aide; Kronus later remarked that the previous relationship between himself and Adama was better than the one shared after the flight from the Twelve Colonies.

Kronus had retired sometime before the pseudo-peace talks ended up in the wholesale slaughter of the Human race, but was returned to active duty to command the electronics ship Celestra. During the flight to the legendary thirteenth colony, Earth, Adama awards Kronus the Distinguished Service Medallion at a ceremony on Galactica and the Quorum awards him a Star of Kobol and command of two additional industrial ships -- the parts and textile ships. He retains personal command of the Celestra much to the disgust to his XO Charka, for he feels that Charka was not ready for command. Apparently, despite his grievances with the Fleet -- which he calls a convoy -- he also follows his duties, and is a strict officer who hasn't lost touch despite his age. He is also quite confident in the crew of the Celestra, despite these crewmembers being civilian.

When a mutiny orchestrated by Damon breaks out and is subsequently quelled, Kronus follows procedure to the letter and decides to press charges in person. Charka, with the help of his accomplices (including Hermes), almost manage to send Kronus to his death. However with the help of the mutineers and the Warriors, they manage to sneak into the Celestra and wrest control of it from the traitor.

Regrettably, one of the finest military commanders that ever lived is killed at Charka's hand in the act of regaining control of the Celestra. He is committed into the realms of space, where he thrived, as the Fleet mourns his death just soon after they celebrated him.

Council Security Officer Reese is a "Blackshirt."

He is a guy that people love to hate. Typical of other Council Security officers – arrogant and sarcastic – Reese behaves much like the Quorum he serves.

Reese thinks that Michael and his party (Sarah and the children) should be forcibly removed and thoroughly interrogated, and is impatiently annoyed at the cautious actions of Commander Adama and the Warriors.

Reese attempts to backup Starbuck, who wants to extradite the "Earthlings" from the ship. However, Starbuck won't have Reese's "assistance." In response, Reese threatens that he isn't the only one that is furious at Adama's inaction.

After the Quorum takes control of the situation and eventually requests a doctor and participating medtechs from the Rising Star, Reese is assigned to defend them. However, Michael has other plans, and threatens the observers in the bay with a stunning weapon. Michael thinks Reese to be a threat, for he tactlessly attempts to calm the asphyxiating Terran, and is stunned by Michael. The present medtechs treat Reese (Greetings from Earth).

Reese is obviously more useful on the Prison Barge, as he is assigned there during Baltar's attempt to escape. He brings Adama news that the Quorum wants to see him post haste, and informs a grinning, sarcastic Baltar that he has mess duty again. Much to Baltar's pleasure, the Nomen manage to quickly quiet Reese and the other "Blackshirts" after the Nomen temporarily "die" .

Commandant Leiter is an Eastern Alliance destroyer commander who discovers Colonial Vipers. Leiter is ruthless and fascist; a consummate Eastern Alliance commander. He comments that the people on Destroyer Two were incompetent and unworthy of the ship they were bestowed.

Upon discovery of the Vipers, Leiter orders Krebbs to alter course to Paradeen after the latter reported the fighters as having a power consumption of immeasurable scale. They subsequently track the landing beacon -- left on by Hector who neglected to deactivate and destroy the device -- and attempts to threaten Sarah with Walker's life, hoping to reveal the locations of the Viper pilots. Much to Leiter's misfortune, Michael, Apollo, Starbuck and their group had other ideas in mind and manage to overpower the dozen Alliance officers.

When the destroyer is escorted to Galactica by Apollo and Starbuck, Leiter attempts to boast about the power of the Eastern Alliance, to which Starbuck cheerfully points out battlestar Galactica. This leaves Leiter in amazement after Krebbs indicates the ship as being the largest that they have ever seen before (Greetings from Earth).

Leiter and his officers are imprisoned on the Prison Barge, where Adama later questions him regarding Terra and other aspects of the Eastern Alliance. Typical of his type, Leiter reveals little of worth before Reese interrupts Adama's interrogation.

The commandant is later involved with the escape of the Borellian Nomen, Baltar, and the Alliance officers. Thanks to Baltar and the captured Quorum members, he manages to get his crew and ship back, lifting off Galactica with the three Nomen (Bora, Maga, and Taba).

Assault 9 is the ninth Proteus prisoner named after the crime committed by his "Original Sinner". Akin to his other peers he is in a perpetual state of inebriation and dull minded. He updates Starbuck (Bootlegger 137) on life on Proteus, and complains to him that the enforcers get the better ambrosa. He also comments that Embezzler 10 was down a few blocks from him.

After Starbuck discovers that the cell doors' locks had been in a state of disrepair, Assault 9 was the most vociferous of the bunch, telling Starbuck to get back into the cell. Instead, Starbuck incites a riot when he informs them that the Colonies had forgotten about them for countless yahren; unsurprisingly, Assault is the first to rise to revolt and attacks the speechless leader of the enforcers, Croad.

Adulteress 58 was the fifty-eighth prisoner on the prison planetoid Proteus who was not an exception to the rest of the prison caste: intoxicated and irritable. When Starbuck, who was captured on another planetoid with a stolen booty of ambrosa, insisted to the prisoners that "Starbuck" was his real name, she inquired as to what "Starbuckin'" was.

She, along with her other prisoners, produced ambrosa for the Colonial Warriors as a means of patriotic prison labor. They were, according to their enforcers, aiding the war effort in this manner.

She was also one of the first of the Proteus prisoners to revolt against their enforcers after Starbuck revealed that the Cylons had destroyed the Colonies.

Macy is a regular at the saloon on Equellus that Lacerta frequents. However, she doesn't like him. Her dislike of Lacerta, as well as a feeling that Apollo is "different", proves impetus enough to him warn that Marco is out to kill him to get in Lacerta's favor. She also reveals how she and Lacerta happened upon the Cylon, known as Red-Eye, and that ever since Red-Eye has obeyed his commands.

Marco is Lacerta's "right hand" man on planet Equellus and one of the finders of a crashed Cylon Raider -- as well as Red-Eye, his "successor". Marco lost graces with Lacerta once Red-Eye's capabilities and value outweighed his. For many yahren he has tried to get into good graces with his obese boss, even to the point of attempting to take Apollo's life. However, once Apollo kills Red-Eye, Marco flees with Lacerta in fear of retribution.

Vella is a human resident of Equellus, a low-tech agrarian planet. Vella lives on a ranch raising ovines, next door to a ranch belonging to her brother, Bootes.

In the past, Vella met a Colonial Warrior named Martin, who had crash landed on Equellus. She nursed the marooned warrior back to health, after which they fell in love and were married. They had a son together, named Puppis.

Soon after Puppis' birth, however, Martin was killed by Red-Eye, a likewise-marooned Cylon Centurion. Vella came to abhor violence and guns, which had taken her husband's life. Like the other oppressed ranchers, she unwillingly paid a monthly "tribute" to Red-Eye, who had become a pawn of Lacerta, a bully and strong arm man.

When Apollo's Viper ran out of fuel and crash lands on Equellus, Vella helps hide him from Red-Eye, who comes investigating the noise of Apollo's landing. She feeds Apollo and gives him appropriate clothing to mix in with the town folk so he can investigate Red-Eye and Lacerta.

Later, Vella reveals to Apollo the whole story of her late husband, despite the pain brought on by the memories. When she learns that her brother Bootes has appeared in town drunk, looking to pick a fight with Red-Eye, she asks Apollo to help. Although he doesn't arrive in time to save Bootes' life, Apollo is able to destroy Red-Eye, freeing Vella and the others from Lacertas' evil reign.

Despite the fact that Vella develops feelings for Apollo, Vella shows him the location of Martin's crashed Viper, enabling Apollo's return to Galactica. Vella is last seen staring up at the stars with her son, just as her husband had done yahrens earlier, wondering if she will ever see Apollo again.

Bootes is a oviner who, like most other people on Equellus, is bullied and terrorized by Red-Eye. Red-Eye, a damaged Cylon Centurion, regularly confiscates livestock as "tribute" to Lacerta, his boss. Bootes lives in the ranch next to his sister Vella and her son Puppis. His sister's late husband, Martin, had been a Colonial Warrior who crashed on their planet and fallen in love with his sister years earlier. Bootes learns about Colonial Warriors from Martin on the eve of his wedding day, though Martin apparently neglects to tell Bootes about the Cylons. When Martin is killed by Red-Eye, Bootes becomes a father figure to young nephew Puppis.

When Bootes meets the marooned Apollo, he immediately recognizes his uniform, rank, and laser; he earnestly encourages Apollo to eliminate Red-Eye, and is angered when Apollo refuses. Later, when Red-Eye appropriates half of Bootes' herd, Bootes drives himself into a drunken stupor and rides into town in a rage. He confronts Lacerta, which leads him to call upon Red-Eye, resulting in Bootes death. Bootes is the last person killed by Red-Eye, before Red-Eye himself is eliminated by Apollo.

Puppis is the only son of Vella on planet Equellus. His father was a marooned Colonial Warrior called Martin, killed by the Cylon "Red-Eye" when Puppis was barely a yahren old.

Puppis is fond of numos and is a farm hand for his family's farm. His attitude reminds Apollo very much of Boxey. Shortly after Apollo's arrival, Puppis sneaked out of his room at night to chase the Lupus who tore their sheeps. Apollo rides after the boy and spots him shortly after Puppis kills the lupus with his Numo. The two then ride back to the farm and talk about growing up.

Puppis is present when his uncle, Bootes, is shot by Red-Eye in a duel at the saloon. In his anger, Puppis shoots Red-Eye with his numo; Apollo intervenes in Red-Eye's retaliation by smashing Puppis' numo, saving the angry boy's life in the process.

Later, after Apollo discovers Red-Eye's origins from Macy, Apollo duels the menace and vanquishes it from the town, forcing Lacerta and his sycophants to flee. Following this showdown, Puppis revises his opinion of Apollo, excitedly re-enacting the laser duel much to the horror of both Vella and Apollo. When Puppis expressed the wish to become a "hero" like Apollo, the latter explained to him that his actions were not heroic: they were borne from necessity and the overcoming his own fears. After Apollo's return to the Fleet, Puppis remains on Equellus with his mother, hoping to see Apollo again.

Lacerta's origins and vocation are unknown. He was fortunate to happen upon a crashed Cylon Raider containing a damaged Cylon Centurion who, upon "waking," saw Lacerta as its Imperious Leader. The Cylon, who would come to be known as Red-Eye, uttered the words "By your command," and followed Lacerta's orders from then on. Backed by the "muscle" of Red-Eye, Lacerta became a bullying strong arm man, collecting "tribute" from the local oviners, with the threat of death by Red-Eye hanging over their heads. Lacerta liked to spend his time in the town saloon, drinking and playing cards; the townspeople obeyed his every beck and call.

When Red-Eye confronts Apollo, who crash lands on the planet, Lacerta tells Red-Eye to back down, and suggests that Apollo could work for him. Soon thereafter, Lacerta is confronted by an angry, inebriated Bootes, a local oviner fed up with paying "tribute"; Lacerta has him killed by Red-Eye. After Red-Eye's destruction at the hands of Apollo, Lacerta is seen humbly beating a hasty retreat, presumably to escape the wrath of the newly-freed townspeople

Martin was a Colonial Warrior of unknown rank (presumably Ensign or Cadet, due to apparent demeanor) who was marooned on the planet Equellus after a quarrel with Cylon fighters in the Hatari system, similar to the situation facing Apollo several yahren later.

Martin was injured when he crash landed on the planet. Vella, a local rancher, nursed the Warrior back to health. In the process, Vella and Martin fell in love, were married, and had a child together, Puppis. According to the best recollections of Vella and her brother Bootes, Martin had started to relax into the lifestyle of an oviner (rancher), though he never quite managed to get the stars out of his head. He used to gaze up at them from their yard with the infant Puppis on his chest.

Martin told very little of his past life as a warrior; the only time he ever opened up was on the eve of his wedding night, when he and his future brother-in-law Bootes had too much to drink. Apparently, though, Martin never told anyone about the existence of the Cylons, perhaps to shield them from the news that there was a machine race trying to destroy all of humanity, including the residents of their humble planet.

However, Martin's past came back to haunt him when a Cylon Raider crash landed on their planet. Two Centurions were destroyed in the crash, but one survived, although its memory was severely damaged. When Martin saw the Cylon, which would later come to be known as "Red-Eye", Martin retrieved his laser pistol in order to destroy the Cylon. However, Red-Eye killed him first (with an unknown weapon) and appropriated Martin's laser pistol. Martin left behind a wife (Vella) and a son (Puppis), as well as any family he had in the Twelve Colonies of Man before being marooned.

Strider is a horse on Vella's farm on Equellus.Strider scared off a lupus that Puppis was endeavoring to kill.

Embezzler 10 was Proteus prisoner who was down the block from Starbuck ("Bootlegger 137"), at least according to the inebriated Assault 9 .Judging by the designation, Embezzler was a descendant of a "parent" who was a con artist or a smuggler.

Bootlegger 137" is the name assigned to Starbuck by the enforcers after Starbuck is briefly incarcerated on the prison planetoid Proteus.

Jason is the cousin of Vella and an acquaintance of Bootes, as well as a oviner on the planet Equellus.

Jason informs Vella that Bootes is en route to town, drunk and intent on confronting Lacerta regarding the theft (called "tribute") of his livestock. After Bootes' death, Jason comforts Vella and helps remove Bootes' body to the wagon. When Apollo subsequently destroys Red-Eye, Jason is seen picking up the Cylon's discarded laser pistol, presumably becoming the new de facto "sheriff" in town.

Forger 7 is a prisoner on Proteus whose Original Sinner apparently forged documents, currency, and other things that were worth forging centuries ago. He appears to be a devious, stereotypical criminal with lavender-tinted glasses, probably also handed down from Forger to Forger. He is as inebriated and dull-minded as most of the prisoners on Proteus, and he follows the revolt caused by Assault 9, Adulteress 58, and "Bootlegger 137" a.k.a. Starbuck .

Kip is a Colonial Warrior on Galactica.

Kip is a member of a group of Warriors assigned to visit to find Earth scientists there who would be willing to use Colonial technology to speed up the development of Earth to make it defensible from the Cylons.

Unaware of the nation's near-totalitarianist socio-political structure, Dillon laments to Troy that Kip's assignment to visit the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics sounded more inviting based on its name, particularly the possibility of women.

Doctor Donald Mortinson, Ph.D. is one of the Earth's foremost nuclear physicists who works at the Pacific Institute of Technology, in addition to being a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

He is the first scientist selected to be contacted by Captain Troy and Lieutenant Dillon in their mission of making contact with the scientists of Earth, given his work on nuclear power. In particular, Mortinson was working on an abstract theory of nuclear degeneration since roughly 1977, according to Dorothy Carlyle. He also worked on various papers, including one on brother worlds and atomic travel, which Troy and Dillon references in their conversation with Carlyle. Mortinson is convinced of their being from a different planet after they leave a completed mathematical formula on his computer. He arranges a meeting with the two Colonials, but recognizes that Jamie Hamilton is trying to capture him on film and they escape.

Despite his aversion for the media, he later does an interview with Mr. Brooks at the United Broadcasting Company, attempting to convince people that the "two young men" were not terrorists, which fails. After the interview, he is approached by Xaviar, who he later brings back to his large beach house. It is here where Xaviar attempts to convince him that Troy and Dillon are outcasts, in addition to a vain attempt to convince him of the benefits of altering Earth's history in order to speed up the development of technology. This fails when Hamilton calls him and attempts to warn him of Xaviar, who disconnects the phone and stuns him.

Later, he is apparently contacted by the Air Force Colonel, who brings him to Van Nuys A.N.G. Base to help explain the technology of the Vipers they had temporarily captured. Mortinson assures them that the craft were not of Russian origin, but of an extraterrestrial one He is later mentioned as monitoring Colonial frequencies for Dillon and Troy, although as he does so he is unable to detect the Cylon frequencies emitted by the A-B Raider.

Mr. Brooks is a station manager for United Broadcasting Company Television studios. Mr. Brooks offers Jamie Hamilton a shot at a job, but only if she can secure an interview with Dr. Donald Mortinson (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I). She secures the interview and lands the job.

Mr. Brooks begins to grow weary of Hamilton's tendency to stray from her assignments, assigning a cameraman, Hal Fredricks, to her in an attempt to keep her on track. She is sent to cover a baseball camp run by former baseball superstar Billy Eheres.

Dobin is a police officer who tries to fingerprint Troy only to discover that Troy has no fingerprints. After a short diatribe from Sergeant James to Troy and Dillon, and a phone call that he revealed came from their commanding officer, Dobin is subsequently instructed to place the Warriors in the holding tank.

After being placed there, the Warriors use their invisibility fields in order to coax Moran to overreact, attracting the attention of Sergeant James. As he opens the door, James calls out for Dobin, who comes in after James is pushed into the cell by Troy and Dillon. Dobin gets blamed by James for pushing him into the holding tank, leaving him bemused.

Moran is a man who Dillon and Troy are placed in a cell with after their arrest for "breaking" into Dr. Donald Mortinson's office.

Moran asks the two Warriors for a light, but instead of obliging they activate their invisibility screens, which leads Moran to scream his pleas for being let out, for he believes they were going to make him disappear as well. His screams attract the attention of a police officer, who unwittingly permits the invisible Warriors to escape.

Sergeant James is the police officer who books Dillon after his arrest and encounters difficulties with booking them due to Dillon's lack of cooperation in terms of relinquishing personal information. After Dobin notifies him that Troy (or Dillon for that matter) do not have fingerprints, he makes some very sarcastic comments before getting a call from his boss. After getting off the phone, he tells the Warriors that some bigshots want to talk to them.

He instructs Dobin to throw them in the holding tank. A little while later, James answers the wails of a derelict name Moran, discovering that the two Warriors had somehow escaped. As it turns out, once James opens the door to the holding tank, the invisible Warriors push him in and escape the police station. As James doesn't know about the invisibility field technology, he blames Dobin for pushing him into the holding tan,

Willy Griffin is a young boy on Earth who accidentally discovers Troy and Dillon's Vipers while playing with his dog, Skipper. Griffin also discovers a third Viper, used by the Colonials' adversary, Xavier.

After initially being ridiculed by other children and adults, Griffin convinces his father, who calls local authorities about the ships. The ships are being hauled away by police and military when Troy and Dillon return from their adventures in Earth's past.

They convince Griffin to disclose information on the whereabouts of their ships in exchange a loan of one of their wrist computrons. The boy soon uses the wrist computron to get revenge on Tucker, a local bully.

Major Stockwell is a B-17 pilot who encounters Troy, Jamie Hamilton, and Dillon after his plane is shot down over Nazi Germany. Stockwell's mission, to sabotage a V-2 rocket on a rocket base in Peenemünde, is complicated when Jewish prisoners are found, who are destined for a deadly concentration camp named Auschwitz.

Stockwell aids the Colonial team in freeing the prisoners, but not before the Colonials accomplish his mission by destroying the V-2 rocket. Stockwell is saddened when the Colonial team, particularly Jamie Hamilton, must return to their point of origin

Tucker is a young boy that bullies Willie Griffin for his futuristic tales about finding several spaceships in a nearby field.

After Willie is secretly vindicated by the United States Air Force (who haul off the ships), the pilots of the ships, Troy and Dillon, offer loaning a wrist computron to Willie in exchange for information on the ships' whereabouts. Tucker receives an unfortunate reprisal from Willie, who uses the invisibility features on the wrist computron.

Major Harvey Jensen is an aide to Colonel Sydell and, later, Colonel Briggs, in the project to investigate extraterrestrial phenomenon. Jensen calls Sydell to notify him of an incident regarding Flight 427, which had a near-miss with the Galactican's Shuttle Alpha.

Later, Jensen keeps Colonel Briggs appraised of the projected landfall of an unknown craft, later to be revealed as Andromus' and Centuri's A-B Raider. In reply to Jensen's comments about the Skylab incident, Briggs sarcastically comments that he likes Jensen for his optimism.

Harry is a security guard at United California Bank. When an unnamed bank teller calls out for him, he tries to stop Dillon but is subsequently stunned.

Valerie is a nurse at the Paradise Valley Medical Center, which is overseen by Dr. Spencer.

Valerie is on duty when Troy, Dillon, and Jamie Hamilton bring in three deathly ill Super Scouts. She says she can't help and calls for the doctor. When the situation becomes grim, Troy hooks up Moonstone to an IV. Upon her return, she reacts to the IV and moves to remove it, for fear of losing her job. However, Troy stuns her. Later, she comes out of the stun after Dr. Spencer arrives, the first thing she recites is an audio help message meant to aid people in adjusting the color on their television sets.

Dr. Spencer is a doctor in Paradise Valley, California. He practices at Paradise Valley Medical Center. During his youth, he was on his school's boxing team, and apparently grew up in Paradise Valley.

Troy, Dillon, and Jamie Hamilton bring three deathly ill Super Scouts to his clinic. As he tests their blood, he notices that they have none of the same markers as human blood, which he shows Hamilton.

Later, he shows the reason for the poisoning to Hamilton, noting that chemical wastes from John Stockton's plant have caused their illness, and the illnesses of others in the community

John Stockton is the owner of the Stanford Chemical Plant in Paradise Valley, California of 1980 Earth.

Troy and Dillon interact with him, initially hoping to solicit his support in investigating the toxic nature of the water supply, which is poisoned by chemical wastes from his plant. (It is the poisoned water that nearly causes the deaths of three of the Super Scouts.) Although initially assuring that he'll look into it, he later recruits Paradise Valley's sheriff, so as to get rid of Dillon and Troy -- who he believes to be mere meddling environmentalists. He expresses concern over the livelihood of the workers, noting to the sheriff that his men were still paying off loans they had to take out the last time some "wild-eyed nature group" had the plant shut down for six months. It is because of him that the Super Scouts are eventually revealed to be a fake scout troop, causing many problems for the Galacticans.

Stockton is later shown the error in his ways with the help of Dr. Spencer at the Paradise Valley Medical Center. Stockton reluctantly agrees to help transfer the ill children to another location, an abandoned military base atop a mountain where the Galacticans' anti-gravity ship lands. Fearful of boarding her, Dillon assures him that "the glory of the universe is intelligence" and new experiences are not to be feared.

With the facilities aboard the anti-gravity ship, he is shown the effects of poisoning the water supply ten years hence by Doctor Zee. After it is revealed that his son dies due to the chemicals from the plant, Stockton pledges to follow Zee's advice and change his company's practices to avoid losing a loved one. Colonel Jack Sydell and the sheriff find him and his otherwise abandoned truck when they get to the top of the mountain, with no sign of the extraterrestrial landing Sydell seek

Bo Collins is a deputy at Paradise Valley, California, Earth in 1980.

At the request of Dr. Spencer, he checks into the backgrounds of the sick Super Scouts at Spencer's clinic, only to find that neither they nor their parents apparently exist.

He rushes to Sheriff Ellsworth with this information. It is due to this information, coupled with the sheriff's connections with John Stockton of the Stanford Chemical Plant (recently impugned by Troy and Dillon who have traced the sickness back to his chemical plant), that leads Collins, the deputies, and the sheriff to seek out the Super Scouts for arrest.

With the deputies and the sheriff, Collins goes out to the meadow, only to find that the Super Scouts have gone and are besieged by apples thrown from a tree that isn't an apple tree

Sheriff Ellsworth is the primary law enforcement officer in Paradise Valley, California, Earth.

Ellsworth apparently in cahoots with John Stockton of the Stanford Chemical Plant, and is called upon to deal with the meddling efforts of Warriors Troy and Dillon. These two Warriors become involved in the issue of Stanford Chemical's toxic waste disposal methods after three of the Super Scouts fall ill, after drinking water from a lake containing toxic waste.

Ellsworth and three of his deputies, including Collins, go to arrest the Super Scouts and their "phony scoutmasters" after word comes to him that their scout troop doesn't exist. However, they are bemused when they find their encampment gone, apples thrown from a non-apple tree, and their cars driving off (seemingly) by themselves.

Ellsworth later calls on Colonel Jack Sydell, with whom he relays his story. Ellsworth later accompanies Sydell to the hospital to check on the super scouts, and later drives him to an abandoned Nike missile base atop a mountain in the hopes of capturing Troy, Dillon, the Super Scouts, and the first definitive evidence of a UFO. While this fails, Ellsworth later finds a box of cubits and a note from the Warriors apologizing for the trouble they've caused, in addition to payment for the stolen money, much to Ellsworth's delight.

Denver is a worker at Stanford Chemical Plant in Paradise Valley, California, Earth.

He leads a posse of workers from the plant to intercept Jamie Hamilton and Dr. Spencer, the latter of whom shows Hamilton the issues that face Paradise Valley's citizens. He grows angry, telling Hamilton to leave and almost getting into a fight with Spencer. However, this fight is abated when Troy and Dillon intercept, and the Warriors prove their superiority in a physical fight: with one hand, Dillon throws one of Denver's lackeys into a pile of brush.

The situation is abated when John Stockton arrives and threatens their jobs if they were to continue the fight

Jay Johnson is a member of the National Guard out of Vandenberg Air Force Base.

At Colonel Jack Sydell's request, he and two trucks' worth of guardsman make their way to an old Nike base at the San Angelo Mountains. After clearing a tree that Troy forced down to obstruct the only path to the base, Johnson and his guardsmen accompany Sydell and Sheriff Ellsworth to the top of the mountain, only to find John Stockton and his otherwise abandoned van.

Lum is an employee at the Stanford Chemical Plant.

Lum is part of a posse lead by Denver aiming to scare off Doctor Spencer and Jamie Hamilton from investigating the chemical dumping into the local water system. However, Troy and Dillon arrive to stop the situation from spiraling totally out of control; Dillon uses his Galactican abilities to throw Lum into a pile of brush.

Jimmy Lee Stockton is the son of John Stockton, the owner of the Stanford Chemical Plant. Stockton works at the plant's purification center, where he is exposed to chemical toxins on a daily basis.

In a computron projection generated by Doctor Zee, he shows John Stockton that his son will die by spring of 1990 by the chemical toxins he receives, unless attitudes and events drastically change, much to the anguished dismay of Stockton's father.

Chuck is a reporter at the United Broadcasting Company.

Mr. Brooks initially assigns Chuck to report about Billy Eheres' underprivileged kids camp, but Jamie Hamilton manages to snag the story from him.

Billy Eheres is a former professional baseball player who runs Casey's Camp, a baseball camp for underprivileged children.

Coming from a poor, orphan background himself, Eheres was recruited into the Dodgers baseball team earlier in his life. According to Mr. Brooks, Eheres at one time had the potential to be one of the greatest baseball players of all time. At some point Eheres lost his left arm, and his jacket's left sleeve is pinned up. As he always felt guilty for making money doing something he loved, he opened the baseball camp for children to play just for the fun of the game.

Mr. Brooks assigns Jamie Hamilton and Hal Fredricks to do a story about Eheres' baseball camp. Eheres reveals that his camp is supported by donations, and if his baseball team doesn't win an upcoming game then the funding will dry up. When most of his team is taken ill, Eheres fears his camp will have to close. Fortunately the Super Scouts step up to the plate and win the game with a last minute rally, saving the camp.

Hal Fredricks is a UBC studios cameraman assigned to Jamie Hamilton by Mr. Brooks. Assigned to cover the baseball camp run by Billy Eheres, Hamilton has a difficult time disguising the extraordinary nature of the Super Scouts from Fredricks.

Freddy is a male Earthling child at Billy Eheres' baseball camp. He hits the ball that ends up going in the Super Scouts direction, which leads to the revelation that Starla isn't exactly a normal child, as she throws the ball a half-mile.

Frankie Lupo is the lead batter for the Encino Cougars, the team that faces off the Super Scouts' Polecats at the Southern Conference Regional Playoffs.

Jeffy Frieley is a batter for the Encino Cougars, who participates in the game against the Polecats at the Southern Conference Regional Playoffs.

Jenkins is the groundskeeper for the field that the playoff between the Polecats and Cougars are held on. Jenkins and the umpire argue over the state of the field, after a groundball hit by a Super Scout sinks into the ground.

Red is an irate United Broadcasting Company employee who comes across the Super Scouts as Wellington is explaining the components of an $80,000 camera in a state of disassembly. He runs to Mr. Brooks office to confront Jamie Hamilton, who later drags Brooks, Hal Fredricks and Hamilton down to the stage. After insisting that the camera was "ruined", it comes to him as a complete surprise that Camera 4 was in working order and he concedes that his people may have well had the camera taken apart for maintenance. The alternative, as Hamilton notes, is that a bunch of children put it back together in perfect working order .

Lieutenant Nancy Trent is Colonel Jack Sydell's secretary.

Sydell informs Trent that his superiors have ordered him to cease investigating the mysterious strangers (Troy and Dillon). However, when he notices that Jamie Hamilton is linked to the two of them he decides to go ask her some questions. He informs Trent that he is stepping out to look into something, but not to let anybody know that he was gone. Trent asks if his plans were of a classified nature, and Sydell implies that this is the case,

Steve Baldwin is an older man in his sixties who announces the various plays in the game between the Encino Cougars and the Polecats. Before the game, he interviews Billy Eheres about his team.

Captain Kanon is a Viper pilot on patrol with Lieutenant Britton when a specialized Raider appears.

Unable to destroy the Raider, Kanon rams the enemy fighter with his Viper. While he disables the Raider, Britton is injured and their Viper is considered missing for some time until it manages to limp back to Galactica to warn them of the humanoid Cylons detected aboard the stricken Raider.

Britton is a Viper pilot on patrol with Captain Kanon when a specialized Raider appears.

Unable to destroy the Raider with lasers, Kanon rams the enemy fighter with his Viper, disabling the Raider and injuring Britton in the process. Their Viper is considered missing for some time until it manages to limp back to Galactica to warn them of the humanoid Cylons detected onboard the stricken Raider.

Colonel Briggs is a member of the United States Air Force who replaces Colonel Jack Sydell on Air Force Special Detachment One.

Jamie Hamilton tells Troy and Dillon that she is visited by Briggs earlier that day regarding the two Colonial Warriors. Due to his visit, Hamilton tells the Warriors not to use their Viper.

Briggs is later on a private jet to New York City, the projected point where the unidentified blip from space (the Cylons' new A-B Raider) will crash land.

He later attempts to obtain the assistance of the New York Police Department in preventing Troy and Dillon from coming to harm, wanting to question them. During his discussion with the NYPD police chief, he is told about Andromus' destruction of the microwave that started the blaze at Arnie's apartment, believing it to be the Colonial Warriors. Much to his apparent chagrin, Briggs finds out from Norman Blore that Troy was at the apartment, but saved their lives.

Marcy is a tour guide at the Griffith Park Observatory, who does a presentation on the Solar System to a group of people, including the Super Scouts.

During the course of her presentation, Starla attempts to correct Marcy on the fact that there are more planets outside the Solar System, but is stopped by her fellow Scouts. In short order, Wellington later corrects her on the number of stars in the galaxy, although she dismisses the number while conceding that Wellington brings up an interesting point regarding the figure being revised as more stars are discovered yearly.

Andromus is the commander of an advanced "A-B" Cylon fighter with a unique Cylon physical form: The appearance of a human, although he is still more android than a biological construct.

Andromus' fighter crash-lands in New York. He takes Centuri (the only other survivor of the crash; a second Cylon android perishes) on a mission to transmit a distress signal back to the Cylons.

He and Centuri attend a party, where they met Wolfman Jack. Centuri is disabled by radiation from a microwave oven. Andromus uses his red beam to destroy the microwave and set fire in the apartment, allowing them to kidnap Wolfman Jack by employing his power of persuasion.

They head for Wolfman Jack's radio station, where they plan to send their distress signal. The Cylon's plans are thwarted by Troy and Dillon. A disoriented Centurion carries Andromus off the top of the radio station's building to their demise .

Wolfman Jack is a radio personality at WQSL, a radio station in New York City, New York, America on Earth. He is known for his trademark wolf-howl and the catchphrase of "Oh, yeah!"

He is first mentioned to the Cylons Andromus ("Andy") and Centuri by Shirley Blore. Andromus later expresses a great interest in Wolfman Jack when he connects Wolfman to radio transmissions.

After finding out the location and security of the transmission station, Centuri and Andromus manage to dragoon Wolfman into accompanying them at the International Trade Center. Despite his help, the Cylons are still thwarted by Troy and Dillon and the Cylons remain unaware of Earth's location in the cosmos.

Max is an officer with the New York State Police who rides in car seven, unit 1711. He points out the smoke plumes and explosions from the crash of the A-B Raider to his partner, Leroy, as they are roughly 60 miles north of New York City.

Max encounters Troy and Dillon, who he believes survived the crash -- although it confuses him how they were able to survive such a wreck. He later suspects them to be drug smugglers or dealing in something illegal and, on that hunch, sends Leroy to check out the crash site, wanting to take whatever credit for the bust they can before someone else would. Both he and Leroy later attempt to arrest the Warriors, who claim they want to give a statement, but are subsequently stunned.

Leroy is an officer with the New York State Police who rides in car seven, unit 1711. He and his partner, Max, see the smoke plumes and explosions from the crash of the A-B Raider roughly 60 miles north of New York city.

Upon arriving at the crash site, Leroy talks to their chief, who tells him to seal off the area. Max, just having been told this, tells Leroy to search the wreckage for drugs so they can get whatever credit they can. They later attempt to arrest Troy and Dillon on the suspicion that they are drug smugglers, but are subsequently stunned.

Norman Blore and his wife Shirley are driving to a Halloween party where Wolfman Jack is in attendance. Norman is dressed as a clown, although he is far from jovial.

The "disguised" Cylons Andromus and Centuri accept a ride from Norman, needled by Shirley who believes they are humans such as they are, merely dressed up for the festivities. Unlike the laughing Shirley, his reaction is one of trepidation and discomfort.

During the awkward car ride, Norman reveals his hatred of Arnie's meatballs, Vida Blue's appointment to the San Francisco Giants and a negative view of Arnie's sister, Mildred, whom he describes as so "romantically malnourished" that "she once proposed to a mugger in Central Park". The only reason he attends the party is due to his belief that Arnie is the best music director in radio.

Upon the revelation by Shirley that Norman is the general manager of the WQSL radio station, of which Wolfman Jack is an on-air personality, Andromus believes the Wolfman can take them to radio equipment for them to communicate with the distant Cylon Empire .

Norman later expresses his concern to Arnie over Andromus' questions regarding the radio station, particularly noting that they were asking about the security arrangements. Norman is present when Centuri is subjected to microwave emissions from the microwave, but does not see Andromus' destruction of the microwave via his energy weapon as he makes a quip about putting gunpowder in the meatballs. The destruction of the microwave subsequently begins a fire in Arnie's apartment. He later identifies Troy to USAF Colonel Briggs, but notes that Troy is responsible for saving their lives.

Shirley Blore is Norman Blore's wife. With her husband, she is en route to the Halloween party hosted by Arnie, a radio program director who works for her husband, which also has Wolfman Jack is in attendance. She is dressed as a Elvira.

She tells her husband to stop the car when she sees the "disguised" Cylons Andromus and Centuri walking along the road, much to Norman's anger. After convincing the Cylons to ride with them, for she is very impressed with Centuri's "costume", Blore begins talking about Wolfman Jack, radio and the party, which piques Andromus' interest. Unbeknownst to her, Andromus believes the Wolfman can take them to radio equipment for them to communicate with the distant Cylon Empire. She tells Norman that they would be a smash at Arnie's party, which dredges up the topics of Arnie's meatballs and Mildred's "romantic malnutrition"

Mildred is a resident of New York City, New York, Earth. She is an acquaintance of Shirley and Norman Blore, the mother of Sammy, and is Arnie's sister. While riding in Norman's car with Cylons Andromus and Centuri, Shirley notes to Norman that Mildred would "love to see these two".

Norman expresses an extremely low opinion of Mildred. During the car ride, Template:Audio Mildred is "so desperate for a husband [that] she once proposed to a mugger in Central Park", which Shirley quickly claims wasn't true and notes that such a thing was terrible to say. After this exchange, she looks back at Centuri who subsequently and peculiarly nods from the back seat.

She is in attendance at the Halloween party hosted at Arnie's apartment in The Town House. As Shirley predicts, Mildred and Arnie are impressed by Centuri's "costume". However, the Cylons reveal themselves to be a threat to them when Arnie's house is set ablaze. While everyone manages to evacuate the apartment, her son, Sammy, runs into the burning room to search for his dog, Skippy. Troy manages to save both the boy and the dog, and she later claims at the Bellevue Hospital Center that she owes Troy her son's life for the act, much to the chagrin of Air Force Colonel Briggs.

Sammy is the young son of Mildred, a resident of Manhattan on Earth.

He is the owner of a small dog named Skippy, and runs in Arnie's burning apartment in an attempt to find the dog. This act prompts Troy to enter the apartment after Sammy, subsequently saving both Sammy and Sparky, much to Arnie and Mildred's relief.

Arnie is a program director at the WQSL radio station in New York City, which Norman Blore manages.

Begrudgingly, Norman (with his wife Shirley Blore, and two Cylon hitchhikers named Andromus and Centuri) attend Arnie's party because Arnie is the "best program director in radio", despite both Arnie's meatballs and the "romantic malnutrition" of Arnie's sister, Mildred.

Prior to his position as program director, Arnie worked as a bouncer while attending school. After his place caught ablaze due to the destruction of his microwave by Andromus, he supports the stories said about fire coming from Andromus' fingertips. He attempts to rationalize this as a trick he had seen in a movie, where the person is trying to convince a group of natives of his power by creating a "burning bush" effect—however this was done with a flamethrower hidden under a robe, which Andromus did not have.

Tommy is a child who meets Centuri and "Andy" and, later, Wolfman Jack at Arnie's Halloween party. He is dressed as Raggedy Andy.

Lieutenant Dante is a Viper pilot and leader of D Squadron, a squadron tasked with running missions against Cylon base ships.

Hector Alonzo is a Hispanic land owner and farmer on Earth.

Alonzo is married to Louise, with whom he has two children, Gloria and Chris. Before Alonzo started his own farm, he used to work for John Steadman, who has a negative view of Hispanics.

Troy and Dillon assist in helping Alonzo's farm become bountiful, despite Steadman's interest in destroying Alonzo's farm. The need arises when Cylons destroy two of the Galactican Fleet's Agro Ships.

Louise Alonzo is the wife of Hector Alonzo and mother of two children, Chris and Gloria. She emotionally supports both her husband and children during his attempt to revitalize his farm, despite the difficulties dredged up by John Steadman.

Gloria Alonzo is the teenage daughter of Louise and Hector Alonzo. With her younger brother, Chris, she lives on the troubled family farm. However, this farm is saved by Troy and Dillon, the latter of whom she has a crush on.

John Steadman is a wealthy land owner and farmer in California. Steadman is the former employer of Hector Alonzo, in addition to other Hispanics. However, Steadman's racial attitudes towards Hispanics are negative, as he believes them nothing more than peasants.

Given these attitudes, in addition to his avarice, Steadman makes it a point to destroy smaller farms by using his clout in the Growers' Association. Things come to a head when he dams up the only source of water in the area during a drought.

However, things turn bad for Steadman once Warriors Troy and Dillon arrive. After they begin helping Alonzo on his farm, in order to prepare an agricultural colony for the Galactican race, Steadman grows suspicious about Troy and Dillon and goes to investigate. Steadman sees the Warriors plow the ground using their laser pistols, the Super Scouts seed the field using their special abilities, and the anti-gravity ship create the clouds that will produce rain. He is summarily laughed out the Growers' Association when he relates this tale.

Tom Rogers is the head of a Growers Association in California. He, as with the other members, respond to John Steadman's claims of jumping aliens and flying saucers with a level of incredulity that results in Steadman's loss of any clout he had with the association or its members.
