| In ''[[Surrender the Galactica!]]'', Athena has evolved into a multifaceted officer serving on ''[[Galactica (TOS-BN)|Galactica]]''. She has come a long way from the uncertain young woman who had been embarrassed by her responsibilities as a bridge officer, now commanding respect and acquiring a fine record as a fighter pilot.<ref name="STG32">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|last2=Thurston|first2=Robert|title=[[Surrender the Galactica!]]|publisher=Ace Books|year=1988|page=32}}</ref>

| =====Teaching and Academic Responsibilities=====
| |
| Athena serves as a teacher for children aboard ''[[Galactica (TOS-BN)|Galactica]]'', conducting classes every fifth duty-period. Her classroom activities include hosting guest lectures, such as when [[Cassiopeia (TOS-BN)|Cassiopeia]] presents a talk on basic hygiene.<ref name="STG90">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|last2=Thurston|first2=Robert|title=[[Surrender the Galactica!]]|publisher=Ace Books|year=1988|page=90}}</ref> She also lectures on tactics at Cadet Academy, writes manuals, and maintains her own studies while continuing her bridge duties.<ref name="STG91">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|last2=Thurston|first2=Robert|title=[[Surrender the Galactica!]]|publisher=Ace Books|year=1988|page=91}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| During her teaching, Athena demonstrates care for her students, particularly [[Boxey (TOS-BN)|Boxey]], whose absence from class due to his disappearance deeply concerns her. She becomes visibly emotional when discussing his situation, with her eyes misting over when expressing hope that he remains safe.<ref name="STG91" />

|
| |
| =====Bridge Officer and Fighter Pilot=====
| |
| Athena serves as a bridge officer under her father, [[Adama (TOS-BN)|Commander Adama]], and has established herself as a capable fighter pilot. She participates in search and rescue operations, including the mission to locate the missing [[Apollo (TOS-BN)|Apollo]] and [[Boxey (TOS-BN)|Boxey]] in the lower tunnels of ''[[Galactica (TOS-BN)|Galactica]]''.<ref name="STG109">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|last2=Thurston|first2=Robert|title=[[Surrender the Galactica!]]|publisher=Ace Books|year=1988|page=109}}</ref>

| When alerts are called, Athena demonstrates her commitment to duty, understanding the conflict between personal and official obligations. She helps guide her fellow warriors to their duty stations during emergency situations.<ref name="STG110">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|last2=Thurston|first2=Robert|title=[[Surrender the Galactica!]]|publisher=Ace Books|year=1988|page=110}}</ref>

|
| |
| =====Relationships and Personal Life=====
| |
| Athena maintains a complicated history with [[Starbuck (TOS-BN)|Starbuck]], describing herself as "one of the throwaway pages from his little black book." When questioned about this by [[Hera (TOS-BN)|Hera]], Athena displays a pragmatic attitude about Starbuck's womanizing ways, advising that it's "best to ignore it, ignore him" while acknowledging that "he's a good guy, really."<ref name="STG93">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|last2=Thurston|first2=Robert|title=[[Surrender the Galactica!]]|publisher=Ace Books|year=1988|page=93}}</ref><ref name="STG94">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|last2=Thurston|first2=Robert|title=[[Surrender the Galactica!]]|publisher=Ace Books|year=1988|page=94}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| When [[Hera (TOS-BN)|Hera]] and [[Cassiopeia (TOS-BN)|Cassiopeia]] plan a theatrical revenge against Starbuck, Athena declines to participate, stating it's "not my style" and explaining that as the commander's daughter, "some dignity was required of her." She wonders if this makes her pompous but ultimately chooses to support her friends rather than join their scheme.<ref name="STG96">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|last2=Thurston|first2=Robert|title=[[Surrender the Galactica!]]|publisher=Ace Books|year=1988|page=96}}</ref><ref name="STG97">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|last2=Thurston|first2=Robert|title=[[Surrender the Galactica!]]|publisher=Ace Books|year=1988|page=97}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Athena also shows a close relationship with [[Boxey (TOS-BN)|Boxey]], who affectionately calls her "Auntie Athena," though she prefers "Aunt Athena" as the former makes her feel old. Their conversations reveal her ongoing single status, with Boxey noting that she hasn't "had a date since [[Muffit (alternate)|Muffy]] was a pup," and their discussion touches on her past relationship with Starbuck.<ref name="STG17">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|last2=Thurston|first2=Robert|title=[[Surrender the Galactica!]]|publisher=Ace Books|year=1988|page=17}}</ref>

|
| |
| =====Physical Description=====
| |
| Athena is described as having black hair, soft blue eyes, and pale complexion. Her appearance is enhanced by the unreal bright light of the bridge. She is notably shorter than [[Hera (TOS-BN)|Hera]], feeling "like a shrimp" next to the tall [[Vailean (TOS-BN)|Vailean]] woman.<ref name="STG32" /><ref name="STG93" />
