'''[[Sire]]ss Belloby''' is a hardened woman on the freighter ''{{TOS|Gemini|Gemini}}'' noted for getting anything she wants.  Much to [[Adama (TOS)|Adama's]] dismay, he had encountered her when they were younger. When the {{TOS|Cylons}} hulled the [[Agro Ship 9]], thus destroying the crops, the {{TOS|the Fleet|the Fleet}}'s representatives ({{TOS|Adama}}, {{TOS|Boomer}}, {{TOS|Starbuck}}, and {{TOS|Apollo}}) needed an unmarked [[energizer]] to trade for agricultural seed. A search of the Fleet's inventory lead the [[Warrior]]s to Belloby, who is the only person to have an unmarked energizer; the unmarked energizer necessary, so that no one would know who they were.

In exchange for the energizer, Belloby demands that Adama would court her. Indeed, Adama found the prospect nauseating, but with no other choice he accepts. After landing on [[Sectar (planet)|Sectar]] and getting to [[Serenity]], Serenity's locals steal her generator from Starbuck and Boomer; later resulting in Starbuck being conned into being Serenity's [[constable]] as he attempts to win enough money to buy the agro seed. Despite the presence of ''Galactica'''s Warriors, the Siress finds the energizer in a nearby agricultural storehouse.

When the [[Borays]] under [[Nogow|Boss Nogow]]'s command raid Serenity once more, Belloby is taken prisoner.  The quartet of warriors pursue the Borays to their staging camp, where Starbuck makes a risky deal with Nogow where the Borays can run the town and Nogow could be the constable. After the deal is struck, the Colonials received their seed, though Belloby elects to stay on Sectar for what she says she needs: a real animal in the form of Nogow {{OS|The Magnificent Warriors}}.

== Notes ==

* ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'', a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979:''
: Belloby is a [[The Twelve Colonies of Man#Caprica|Caprican]] [[bureautician]] born into a "distinguished, but impoverished family". She was said to be "the likely bride" of a younger {{TOS|Adama}}, but he had married [[Ila]] instead. 

: After this, she "pursued her business interests" that lead to her being "one of the Galaxy's (sic) leading dealers in recycled parts and equipment". Her prosperous business also backed Adama's political career.

: She was 135 [[yahren]] when the [[Battle of Cimtar]] occurred.<ref>{{cite_book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=20}}</ref>
