'''Allan Nowart''' is a [[Colonial Marine Corps|Marine]] on ''{{RDM|Galactica}}''. He is [[Omar Fischer]]'s replacement as Sergeant of the Guard.

Following the [[Second Exodus]] from [[New Caprica]], Nowart spectates from the ringside during the boxing match between [[Galen Tyrol]] and [[William Adama]], and the final bout between {{callsign|Starbuck}} and {{callsign|Lee Adama}} {{TRS|Unfinished Business}}.

With fellow Marine [[Henry Cheadle]], Nowart provides security in [[Dogsville]], where they witness [[Karl Agathon]]'s arrest of [[Michael Robert]] {{TRS|The Woman King}}. Nowart and Cheadle are subsequently tasked with protecting [[Gaius Baltar]]'s lawyer, [[Romo Lampkin]]. Though Cheadle is killed by [[Aaron Kelly]]'s bomb, Nowart manages to successfully protect Lampkin until the trial {{TRS|The Son Also Rises
}}.

When Kara Thrace unexpectedly returns [[Maelstrom|from the dead]], Nowart and fellow NCO Sergeant [[Brandy Harder]] are assigned to escort her through ''Galactica''. Both are incapacitated when Thrace takes [[Laura Roslin]] hostage {{TRS|He That Believeth In Me}}.

Nowart does take part in [[Gaeta's Mutiny|Felix Gaeta's mutiny]], but is less than fully committed to it, and permits Adama and [[Saul Tigh]] to escape his custody. Adama and Tigh take him hostage, but later permit him to escape, although he narrowly avoids being shot in the back by {{callsign|Starbuck}} {{TRS|The Oath}}. 

Nowart continues to serve after the mutiny, and answers Adama's call for volunteers to rescue [[Hera Agathon]] {{TRS|Daybreak, Part I}}.

As part of {{callsign|Lee Adama}}'s Alpha Team, Nowart boards [[the Colony]] (he is the Marine who informs Lee that the Colony interior is pressurized) to rescue young Agathon. Despite heavy resistance, he returns to ''Galactica'' alive. It is unknown whether or not he survives after rejoining fireteams to repel the Cylon boarders {{TRS|Daybreak, Part II}}.

== Notes ==

* Nowart's first name, Allan, is [[Sources:Henry Cheadle|confirmed]] by cast listing pages from two scripts, "[[The Woman King]]" and "[[The Son Also Rises]]."
* Prior to the events of the last half of [[Season 4]], [[Edward James Olmos]] stated at the 2008 Dragon*Con that Nowart will have a major role in the last episodes of the series.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.doorq.com/Blog.aspx?b=1667|title=DoorQ.com - DRAGON*CON: More Galactica Info from Olmos at Colonial Fleet Party|last=Pedraza|first=Carlos|date=31 Aug 2008|archive=y|accessdate=4 Nov 2023}}</ref>
* Corrigan appeared in [[Season 2]] as a crew member who rushes [[Louanne Katraine]] to [[sickbay]] in "[[Final Cut]]" and as a ''[[Pegasus (TRS)|Pegasus]]'' pilot during a briefing in "[[The Captain's Hand]]." These aforementioned appearances neither confirm nor deny correlation with the character Nowart. Aside from this notation, ''Battlestar Wiki'' does not integrate these appearances into the proper biography of this character.
