The son of Admiral Adama and an excellent soldier/commander in his own right. Lee has had a rocky relationship with his dad made worse by the death of his brother years before the Cylon uprising. Lee also suffers from depression and is believed to have attempted suicide. He also like his late brother has had a personal relationship with Starbuck further complicating his life and duties on Galactica.

At the middle of season two, Lee was promoted to the Commander of the Pegasus, sistership of the Galactica. He stayed in command until he was forced to sacrafic his ship to save the humans trapped on New Caprica during the beginning of season three. Lee ended up rejoining his father's side onboard the Galactica.

A renowned scientist whose theories and contributions are given credence throughout Colonial society. To his then horror he discovers that the woman he was falling in love with is a Cylon. He learns of this on the day of the Cylon nuclear strike against the Colonies but at least she died in the strike keeping the secret he was assured. To his further horror this same Cylon is still very much alive in his mind and influences his actions throughout most of the series.

The Cylon tasked with getting close to Baltar and is the constant voice in his head throughout most of the series. She has a life on Caprica in midst of the Cylon rebuilding, shows up on Galactica and other Colonial ships as Gina, and maintains her link with Baltar. All this made possible by the Cylons being able to recreate themselves and transfer memories from model to model.

Admiral Adama is the commander of the Battlestar Galactica, an old Battlestar that's on it's way to retirement when the Cylons attack. Suddenly, one of Galactica's weaknesses, its poor computer network, becomes it's greatest strength as she, under Adama's command, leads the civilian fleet away from Cylon destruction. In the beginning, Adama wanted to turn back and fight the Cylons, even if it meant going out in a blaze of glory. But it was his desire to see humanity survive this catastrophe that convinced him to turn away from home, and give the fleet something new to hope for: Earth. Shortly after the attack, Adama lied to the citizens of the surviving fleet and told them he knew the location of Earth that had been kept secret for two thousand years. He gave everyone hope that they might somehow find a new home, hope that would soon be degraded after months of Cylon attacks, terrorist sabotage, and political subterfuge...

Because of the gritty sound of his voice, Adama's call sign is "Husker".

Laura Roslin was the secretary of Education. Immediately after she was diagnosed with cancer, she visited the Galactica to take part in its becoming a museum. On her way home, the Cylons attacked. After every other member of the Colonial President's cabinet was killed, she became the president of the colonies. She pulled the civillian ships she could find together and joined with the Galactica on a course towards the mythical planet Earth. A woman of morals, she fought Adama's militaristic tendencies at every turn, and in some extreme circumstances showcased her own.

After she began taking the anti-cancer drug "Chamalla Extract," she started to have pre-cognitive dreams, that to some, including herself, proved her to be a leader that was prophesized about for 2,000 years. And after she recovered from her cancer, she faced the death of her assistant Billy, and a tough re-election bid against Vice President Gaius Baltar. She hopes that the religious, who believe that she is the one that will lead them to Earth, will keep her in office.

Captain Kara Thrace is Battlestar Galactica's best Viper pilot. Her skills and strategic mind are lauded by her commanding officers, and she was once promoted to CAG on Pegasus. She has a very close relationship with Commander Lee Adama and Admiral Bill Adama, but a difficult one with Colonel Tigh. She's a bit of a rogue, sometimes disregarding orders and inspiring others to do so, and she's rough on her subordinates.

On several occasions Cylons have treated Starbuck preferentially, and, as Boomer said, they believe she is "special."

Sharon "Boomer" Valerii was a raptor pilot on the Galactica; she was also carrying on an illicit (and against military rules) affair with the CPO, Galen Tyrol. After the initial attack on the colonies, a fleet of vipers was sent to engage the enemy ships, with Boomer's (and her ECO's Helo) raptor as the scout - unfortunately, after the vipers were hit a Cylon missile damaged their ship, and they were forced to land on Caprica.

While repairing the ship, Boomer and Helo were set upon by numerous survivors of the nuclear attack - including Gaius Baltar. After deciding that all the children, plus five other survivors who were chosen at random, would fly back with them to Galactica, Helo recognised Baltar and gave up his seat on the raptor so that Baltar, one of the "most brilliant minds" of the Colonies, could return to the fleet. Boomer then flew back to the fleet with the surviving colonists.

Unbeknownst to Sharon (or anyone else on the Galactica), though, she was a sleeper agent - a sleeper agent who was also a Cylon. She began to suspect something was up when she awoke, disorientated, soaking wet and with an explosive charge in her uniform carrycase - she then discovered a further five charges were missing, and her suspicions deepened when the charges were found to be responsible for an explosion in the main water tank of Galactica, and the fleet.

Despite frequent warnings from Colonel Tigh to break things off, Sharon and Tyrol kept their relationship going - which is why Tyrol helped her to cover up her actions. One such action - leaving a security door open - led to a Number Five model (the Dorals) blowing up a corridor on Galactica, and an ensuing witchhunt by the Master At Arms that led to one of Tyrol's own men being discharged from military service.

Eventually, as her suspicions worsened, Boomer became the first to undergo Baltar's supposed-Cylon detection machine. The machine, it turned out, worked - as it pointed out to Baltar that Boomer was a Cylon. But he told her otherwise, allaying her fears. Unfortunately, this was not enough - eventually she shot herself in the face. But it turned out to only be a surface wound, and she was put back on active duty - but her first mission back from the infirmary led her to a Cylon baseship (where she was to pilot a nuke), where she discovered many more "Sharon"s - the Number Eight model.

With her worst fears realised, Sharon freaked and quickly piloted the Raptor out of the baseship. But it turned out to be a fatal mistake - when she got back to Galactica, upon being congratulated by Adama for the success of the mission, she shot him point-blank. Adama was in critical condition for quite a while, as Boomer was taken prisoner and interrogated for information. With Boomer's identity as a Cylon revealed, her affair with Tyrol even came under question, as he was suspected of being a Cylon too. One interrogation, led by Baltar, had Boomer revealing that there were (are?) still eight Cylon agents among the fleet - although to this day we do not know if she was telling the truth.

Boomer's time on board Galactica came to a shocking end, when Cally shot her dead while she was being transferred. Of course, being a Cylon, she downloaded - back to Caprica. Initially she rejected her identity as a Cylon, choosing to live in her old apartment and not to associate with the many Cylons now populating Caprica City. One of the Threes (the D'Annas) positioned Caprica Six into trying to talk Boomer round - but it turned out to be a ploy, as Three knew that Boomer would tell Caprica that Baltar was alive. The two figured out that Three was playing them, and that they would both end up "boxed" - their memories put into cold storage, due to their "celebrity status" among the Cylons. After Anders' resistance blew up a building they were in, they confronted Three with the truth, which she did not deny - they then killed her, and pledged to lead the Cylons down a new path, of co-existence with the humans that the two of them had come to know and love.

It was Caprica and Boomer that initially led the occupation of New Caprica, however the Threes and the Cavils began to enforce stricter policies and random killings as a way to control the human populations - Boomer and Caprica saw their ideals slowly slip away as the colony turned into one large concentration camp. Eventually, they gave up, abandoning New Caprica when the Fleet turned up to rescue the colonists.

Upon returning to the baseships, Boomer was charged with taking care of Hera - Sharon and Karl Agathon's baby that Three had "rescued" from New Caprica. Thinking this would be another shot at "redemption", Boomer took on the role quickly - but found that for all her physical similarites to Hera's mother, she couldn't fake the bond that Sharon Agathon would've had with Hera. The child eventually turned sick, and it wasn't until Sharon (now with the call-sign "Athena") downloaded onto the ship upon learning of the child's existence that Boomer realised she could never be the Sharon she once was - all she was to the humans was a Cylon. This Sharon, the one who was married to the former XO, the one who was a mother, had taken her place - and Boomer declared her decision that she was done with humanity.
