Lieutenant Joe Palladino, callsign "Hammerhead", was a Viper pilot on the Battlestar Galactica. He was assigned to lead a detachment of marines to the civilian cargo ship Gideon. Col. Saul Tigh had ordered him to retrieve desperately needed supplies from the transport, which was withholding them from Galactica in protest of Tigh's declaration of Martial Law.

Due to his inexperience at riot control, he was unable to maintain control of his forces and the irate civilian crowd during the food transfer. When the situation grew violent, one of his marines fired a weapon and other marines under his command began shooting randomly at the panicked crowd. Despite repeatedly ordering his marines to cease fire, four civilians were killed during the incident and he was reprimanded by Colonel Tigh for his failure. ("Resistance")

Re-imagined Series definition: a nickname used as a substitute for an aviator's given name in wireless communications and in conversation

Original Series definition: the equivalent of saying "objection" in a Colonial Tribunal (TOS: "Murder on the Rising Star")
