Military Personnel
Zak Adama
-
Zak Adama was Adama's son and Lee's brother. He was pressured into joining the military by his father, despite Lee's insistence that Zak was ill-suited to be a pilot, and was later killed in a fighter crash. He was engaged at the time of his death to Starbuck, who also recognized that he had no talent for flying but passed him on his final flight exam because of their romantic involvement.
Noel "Narcho" Allison
-
Lieutenant Noel "Narcho" Allison is a pilot originally seen on the Pegasus. He is stubborn and full of bravado, scoffing at plans to use the Blackbird and bragging about his Cylon kill count, (which at the time was 48). After Pegasus is destroyed, he becomes part of the Galactica crew. He is briefly seen as one of the Viper pilots guiding the fleet in "The Passage", including his name on the duty roster of still living pilots, and again in "A Day in the Life", commenting on the number of days since the fleet has last seen the Cylons. He again appears, albeit briefly, in a pilot meeting sitting in attendance, in "The Son Also Rises".
Samuel T. Anders
-
Main article: Samuel Anders
Samuel Anders is a former professional athlete. He becomes a resistance fighter on both Caprica and New Caprica. He falls in love with Starbuck and marries her. After the exodus from New Caprica, he is appointed to be a part of "The Circle," a six person jury charged with the duty of trying and executing humans suspected of collaborating with the Cylons. Anders doesn't have the stomach for it, and leaves the Circle. Starbuck steps up to replace him, and the resulting fallout leads to their separation. After Starbuck "dies", he breaks his leg drinking heavily in the hangar bay. Afterwards, he joins the military as a pilot in training, with the callsign Longshot. In the cliffhanger finale to season 3, it is revealed that he is one of the final five Cylons. In The Battle of the Ionian Nebula, Ensign Anders, and the rest of Galactica's reserves are sent into battle, to take out incoming Cylon missiles headed towards The Fleet. During the battle, Anders forgets to shut off his gun safeties, allowing a raider to sneak up on his wing man, Ensign Diana Seelix. The raider comes about, and prepares to fire on Anders, when it suddenly withdraws with the rest of the Cylon force. He later believes that this is due to his being a Cylon. Later the number six named Natalie reveals to Admiral Adama that the reason they withdrew was because a Cylon was identified by one of the raiders during the battle.
Jurgen Belzen
Colonel Jurgen Belzen was the executive officer aboard Battlestar Pegasus and close friend to Admiral Helena Cain prior to the Destruction of the Colonies. Although a proponent in Cain's plan to wage guerilla warfare against the Cylons after the attack, he was a moral man who had reservations against recklessly sacrificing any more lives for this goal. During an attack on a supposedly defenceless Cylon relay station - revealed to be a heavily defended staging ground and part of a Cylon trap - he refused Cain's order to carry out the attack in spite of overwhelming odds. Cain demanded his sidearm and summarily executed him, then turned to Colonel Jack Fisk, one of several officers clearly shocked by her actions, named him XO in Belzen's place and ordered him to carry out the attack.
Helena Cain

Rear Admiral Helena Cain is commander of the Pegasus, a battlestar that Galactica encounters. Ruthless and Machiavellian, she is a force to be reckoned with.

Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza
Lieutenant Junior Grade Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza is a cocky pilot who is often seen alongside Kat.

After the Pegasus is destroyed during the exodus from New Caprica, Apollo returns to the Galactica and replaces Kat as the CAG (although Kat appears to keep her rank as Captain).

Upon the damage of the explosive, Mathias is ordered to adapt the detonator to operate manually which later allows Shaw to detonate the nuke.

She is religious, going to the temple regularly, sometimes to pray for fertility. She is killed when Cylon Centurions open fire on civilians inside the temple (the massacre was precipitated by the resistance keeping weapons inside the temple).
Daniel "Bulldog" Novacek
Lieutenant Daniel "Bulldog" Novacek, or Danny, is a Viper pilot, who served under Adama (and Tigh) aboard Battlestar Valkyrie. He was attacked by Cylons and then shot down by Adama on the Cylon side of the Armistice Line, one year before the Destruction of the Twelve Colonies, on a deep recon mission to assess Cylon strength. He had been piloting a Stealthstar. The Cylons let him go after three years in captivity aboard a Basestar hoping that he would murder Adama for vengeance. The plan was a partial success, as Bulldog did attack Adama, but after Tigh calmed down Bulldog by telling him of the harsh realities of life in the military, Bulldog ceased his attack. He was later given a uniform by Adama, and left for another ship. It is not known if he will return to duty.

Lieutenant Joe Palladino, callsign "Hammerhead", is a Viper pilot aboard Galactica. He was ordered to secure supplies from the Gideon, and unwillingly caused the massacre that left several civilians dead. He blamed Colonal Tigh for his actions, and after being inspired by the poet Kataris, attempted to kill him and his wife. It was D'Anna Biers quick thinking that prevented the killings. Palladino's fate is unknown, particularly in light of the events at New Caprica.
Diana "Hardball" Seelix
Diana Seelix is a deckhand aboard Galactica with some basic medical training. She participates in the mission to Kobol, during which she helps euthanize a mortally wounded Socinus. Later, during the Cylon occupation of New Caprica, she becomes a resistance fighter. After the exodus from New Caprica, she is appointed by then-President Tom Zarek to participate in a six person jury named "The Circle", trying and executing humans suspected of collaborating with Cylons. After Roslin pardons all suspected collaborators, the Circle disbands. Seelix wished to become a viper pilot, but was denied her wings because her position was considered by the CAG to be too vital. Later Seelix was granted flight status and promoted to the rank of ensign with the call sign "Hardball."[5] In episode "Faith", Seelix accuses Starbuck of being a Cylon.
Kendra Shaw
Major Kendra Shaw was Executive Officer of the Battlestar Pegasus under then-Commander Lee Adama's command and the protégé of Rear Admiral Cain. She was originally Rear Admiral Cain's aide for the Pegasus overhaul, with rank of Lieutanant. Under Cain's tutelage she became a dedicated officer and an extension of Cain's will. She actively participated in an incident on-board a small civilian fleet discovered by Pegasus, shooting the families of draftees selected by Cain. This earned her promotion to Captain and recognition as a "Razor" - the highest held honour among Colonial soldiers and officers. Her career suffered after Cain's death under Commanders Fisk and Garner, during which time she was demoted and assigned to kitchen duty for insubordination. She was selected by newly-promoted Commander Lee Adama to serve as XO with the rank of Major. Lee Adama wanted an officer to "hold the torch" and demonstrate Lee's devotion to maintaining Cain's legacy. Shaw was killed setting off a nuke during a deadly rescue mission onboard an old Cylon Basestar and received a posthumous commendation from Rear Admiral Adama. She was eventually succeeded as Pegasus XO by newly-commissioned Lieutenant Junior Grade Anastasia Dualla.

Ironically, Starbuck covertly conducts the mission before Stinger is able to and get promoted by Admiral Cain.

Some models see this as a form of madness caused by the mental stress of controlling all of the baseship's functions, while other models, particularly Leoben, see the Hybrids as oracles speaking the word of God. The Hybrid does not appear to be ranked as one of the twelve "human" models, and despite showing sentience and disapproval of decisions made by the twelve Cylons, the Hybrid does not "get a vote" in matters of importance.

After Maya's death on New Caprica, Hera is taken aboard a baseship by the Cylons. During the stand-off between the Cylons and the Colonials over the Eye of Jupiter, Helo kills Sharon at her request so she can download into a ship in the Cylon fleet.
