Biography

Thirty years after the destruction of the Colonies, Commander Adama has finally led the fleet to the planet Earth.

During the 30 years of exodus, a few changes have befallen Adama and the Fleet. Apollo has died, although his son Troy is a captain in the the Fleet and becomes a key figure (along with Lt. 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 Adama's right hand man, Colonel Tigh has been replaced by Colonel Boomer.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 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 (Galactica Discovers Earth).

Notes

• Adama and Boomer are the only two major characters from the Original Series to return as recurring characters in "Galactica 1980."
