'''Athena''' is the only daughter of {{alt|Ila}} and {{alt|Adama|TOS}}, and officer aboard the {{alt|battlestar|TOS}} ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}''.
'''Boxey''' is the son of {{alt|Serina}} who survives the [[Cylon Holocaust]].
 
== Early Life ==
 
During the [[battle of Umbra]] in {{alt|7322}}, Athena and {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} are ferried with their pregnant mother, {{alt|Ila}}, to {{alt|battlestar|TOS}} ''[[Rylon]]'' — where Captain {{alt|Adama|TOS}} is stationed ({{comics|starbuck|1}}).
 
In {{alt|7328}}, living in relative luxury in {{alt|Caprica|TOS}}, Athena pursues a career in the {{alt|Warrior||Colonial military}} with the aim of outranking her brother, Apollo. During this time, they encounter {{alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}} who re-enters Adama's life when asking for sponsorship of his application to the Colonial military academy. Despite a rough start, Apollo and Starbuck become friends, and Starbuck becomes smitten with Athena ({{comics|starbuck|1}}).
 
== Assignment to ''Galactica'' ==
 
Entering the {{alt|Academy}}, Athena becomes proficient in computer technology, and is assigned to ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' under her father's command in {{alt|7346}}. After Starbuck is framed for the death of [[Kandi Trieste]] by Councilor {{TOS|Osiris}}'s daughter and aide, {{TOS|Diana}}, Athena uncovers footage from ''[[Erin Dream]]''{{'|s}} casino that would have proven Starbuck's innocence. Diana subsequently thwarts and captures Athena (aware of Athena's abilities, for she was enrolled at the Academy during the same time period that Athena had been), and absconds with her to the ice moon of {{TOS|Thrace}} to be held as collateral to prevent Adama from acting against her father's interests ({{comics|starbuck|3}}&mdash;{{comics|starbuck|4|short=y}}).
 
Athena frees herself from her cell on the old [[tylium (TOS)|tylium]] mine, sparring with Diana and nearly killing her, were it not for Apollo's intervention and their subsequent escape from the mine before its destruction by its own overloading reactor ({{comics|starbuck|4}}).


== Fleeing the Cylon Tyranny ==
During his early years in {{alt|the Fleet|TOS}}, Boxey resides aboard ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' with his step-father, {{alt|Apollo|TOS}}, following the death of his mother.


Second Lieutenant Athena often handles [[Officer of the Watch]] during [[red shift]], notably during the discovery of a [[storm zone|quantum storm zone]] while Colonel {{alt|Tigh|TOS-DE}} leads a repair team on the old luxury liner ''[[Ariadna]]'' ({{comics|vol2|6}}).
En route to {{alt|Earth|TOS}}, Boxey becomes one of the many denizens of the Fleet to share in the dream of {{alt|Earth|TOS}}, projected by [[delta-class telepath]] [[Xam]] as they traverse an unnamed [[storm zone]]. This concerns both Apollo and Boxey's step-aunt, {{alt|Athena|TOS}} ({{comics|vol2|8}}&mdash;{{comics|vol2|9|short=y}}).


She often trades barbs with {{alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}}, which {{alt|Adama|TOS}} diffuses with patriarchal aplomb ({{comics|vol2|7}}).
After the events of [[Adama's Gambit]], Boxey resumes attempting to find a place to play aboard ''Galactica'', often being shooed from the engine room by Colonel {{alt|Tigh|TOS-DE}} and bouncing around to various parts of the active battlestar, including the {{alt|launch bay}}. Following {{alt|Boomer|TOS}} from the launch bay, he happens upon a funeral ceremony to commemorate the pilots lost, and realizes the sacrifice many {{alt|Warriors}} make to protect them. Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS}} comes across the distraught boy and consoles him, escorting him to [[core command]] and promising him that Boxey will someday grow up to see Earth ({{comics|vol2|12}}).


Athena helps uncover the fact that [[Xam]] is responsible for not only the dreams of {{alt|Earth|TOS}} affecting a great many of the Fleet's denizens but also the phantom "[[artifact]]" that is "discovered" in the storm zone ({{comics|vol2|8}}&mdash;{{comics|vol2|9|short=y}}).
Later, as they transit a [[black hole]], Boxey is briefly seen cavorting about ''Galactica'' with his trusted robotic [[daggit]], {{alt|Muffit}} ({{comics|vol3|1}} & {{comics|vol3|5|short=y}}).
