In 7322, his wife is pregnant with their third child. The child's name is a point of contention: Adama desires to name the boy "Starbuck," while Ila wishes to name the boy "Zac." It isn't until after the aforementioned young orphan boy saves his life in the attack on [[Umbra]] that Adama relents to naming their child Zac—simply because he names the orphaned, amnesiac boy "Starbuck." | In 7322, his wife is pregnant with their third child.

In 7328, Starbuck arrives at Adama's home and asks Adama to sponsor his application to become a Colonial Warrior, despite the fact that Starbuck's foster parents could have done so—but wouldn't have. Adama initially rebukes this, leading to Apollo—a first-[[yahren]] flight cadet—to challenge Starbuck to a [[turbocycle]] race down [[Mount Colicos]]. This race leads to bonding between the two, particularly as the race goes wrong and results in the destruction of both participants' cycles, as well as Adama being pressured into sponsoring Starbuck as a Warrior ( | In 7328, Starbuck arrives at Adama's home and asks Adama to sponsor his application to become a Colonial Warrior, despite the fact that Starbuck's foster parents could have done so—but wouldn't have.

Following the Fleet's transport to another realm via a mysterious [[black hole]], Adama is rendered unconscious and is mentally attacked by {{alt|Iblis}}, who feeds Adama alternate versions of the [[Battle of Cimtar]] and other mind-warping events to break down his mental defenses ({{comics|vol3|1}}). Using his mental powers, Adama reaches out to {{alt|Apollo|TOS}}, and Apollo is able to bring Adama back into consciousness—while possessed by Iblis ({{comics|vol3|4}}). With Apollo's help, Adama is able to break free of Iblis' influence and, with the help of [[Seraphs]], leads the Fleet back into their own universe and into a new peace with the {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} ({{comics|vol3|5}}). | Following the Fleet's transport to another realm via a mysterious [[black hole]], Adama is rendered unconscious and is mentally attacked by {{alt|Iblis}}, who feeds Adama alternate versions of the [[Battle of Cimtar]] and other mind-warping events to break down his mental defenses ({{comics|vol3|1}}).
