=== Pre-Exodus === | |||
During his teenage years in {{Alt|7328}}, Apollo first meets Starbuck following Starbuck's attempt to secure Flight-Major {{Alt|Adama|TOS-DE}}'s sponsorship to the Academy. Starbuck does not react well to Adama's rejection and, witnessing this, an incensed Apollo pursues Starbuck on his [[turbocycle]] and challenges the orphan to a race near the treacherous [[Mount Colicos]]: if Starbuck loses, he leaves Adama and his family alone, but if Starbuck wins Apollo is to convince his father to be Starbuck's sponsor. The race turns badly, destroying both cycles and being rescued by a irritated Adama, but results in a life-long friendship ({{Comics|starbuck|1}}). | During his teenage years in {{Alt|7328}}, Apollo first meets Starbuck following Starbuck's attempt to secure Flight-Major {{Alt|Adama|TOS-DE}}'s sponsorship to the Academy.

=== Post-Exodus === | |||
After the immediate exodus from their homeworlds, Apollo and his strike team of Lieutenants Boomer and Starbuck are tasked with recovering ancient Sagittarian texts that may help in their search for {{Alt|Earth|TOS-DE}}. Located upon an outermost planet of their home solar system, the strike team utilizes {{Alt|Viper|TOS-DE|Vipers}} equipped with [[Stealth drive|stealth drives]] to approach the major city on [[Maytoria]], but this results in catastrophe and forces Apollo to leave behind Boomer and Starbuck, believing them to be dead ({{Comics|vol1|1}}). | After the immediate exodus from their homeworlds, Apollo and his strike team of Lieutenants Boomer and Starbuck are tasked with recovering ancient Sagittarian texts that may help in their search for {{Alt|Earth|TOS-DE}}.

=== The Many Deaths of Apollo === | |||
Following the discovery of the long-lost ship ''[[Taurella]]'' and the [[psionic]] Countess [[Sephoni]], Major Apollo leads a recon flight to the coordinates that she divined were of Earth. The divination had been [[Encounter with the Super Basestar|uncovered as a trick by the Cylons]], leading to both wingmen's deaths and his subsequent injury and capture by the Cylons ({{comics|doa|1}} — {{comics|vol3|2|short=y}}). | |||

Apollo is written off for dead by Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS-DE}}, leaving the crew, family and friends in various degrees of mourning. Captain {{alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}} takes it poorly, nearly killing Sephoni in the process before being subdued by security and after a stern talking to by Adama—expressly forbidding Starbuck from pursuing any search-and-rescue attempts ({{comics|doa|2}} — {{comics|vol3|3|short=y}}). | Apollo is written off for dead by Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS-DE}}, leaving the crew, family and friends in various degrees of mourning.

The gifted psionic [[Xam]] divines Apollo's presence and, with a clandestine team lead by Starbuck, Athena and Sephoni, [[Rescue of Apollo|recover Apollo]]. Upon his return, Dr. {{alt|Salik|TOS-DE}} discovers a micro-fissure within Apollo's head caused by the trauma of the battle, thus rendering him unable to actively serve on the front lines ({{comics|doa|3}} — {{comics|vol3|4|short=y}}). In order to reduce the risk of a stroke-event or brain hemorrhage, he is assigned to duty in [[core command]] and has a tumultuous time adjusting to the new role | The gifted psionic [[Xam]] divines Apollo's presence and, with a clandestine team lead by Starbuck, Athena and Sephoni, [[Rescue of Apollo|recover Apollo]].

'''Apollo''' is the eldest son of {{alt|Adama|TOS}} and {{alt|Ila}}, serving aboard Adama's {{alt|battlestar|TOS}} ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' alongside his siblings, {{alt|Athena|TOS}} and {{alt|Zac}}. | '''Apollo''' is the eldest son of {{alt|Adama|TOS}} and {{alt|Ila}}, serving aboard Adama's {{alt|battlestar|TOS}} ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' alongside his siblings, {{alt|Athena|TOS}} and {{alt|Zac}}. | ||

Apollo joins Zac on his ill-fated recon patrol, believing that the {{alt|armistice}} would result in reduction of the {{alt|Warrior}} corps via {{alt|liesuron}}. Apollo detects an empty {{Alt|Cylon tanker}}, uncovering a mass of {{alt|Cylon|TOS}} {{alt|raider|TOS}}s and leading to a pursuit that ends with Zac losing an engine, and inevitably his life after Apollo relents to Zac's pleas to leave him behind, so the Colonial Fleet could be forewarned about {{alt|Battle of Cimtar||the Cylons' deception}}. | Apollo joins Zac on his ill-fated recon patrol, believing that the {{alt|armistice}} would result in reduction of the {{alt|Warrior}} corps via {{alt|liesuron}}.

Apollo later reports to his father, learning of Zac's death just short of the fleet, and later escorts his father to their burned-out family home on {{alt|Caprica|TOS}}, leading to his first meeting with {{alt|Serina}} and {{alt|Boxey|TOS}} in the nearby foothills {{comics|marvel|1}}. | Apollo later reports to his father, learning of Zac's death just short of the fleet, and later escorts his father to their burned-out family home on {{alt|Caprica|TOS}}, leading to his first meeting with {{alt|Serina}} and {{alt|Boxey|TOS}} in the nearby foothills ({{comics|marvel|1}}). | ||
