'''Bojay''' is a {{TOS|Viper}} pilot in the {{TOS|Colonial Fleet}} during the last years of the [[Thousand-Yahren War]].

== Pre-Battle of Cimtar ==
Bojay was attached as a {{TOS|Viper}} pilot aboard ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'' before being transferred to ''{{TOS|Pegasus}}'' and the [[Fifth Fleet]] two [[yahren]] prior to the [[Battle of Cimtar]].

As with the rest of the ''Pegasus'' crew, Bojay is believed to have died at the [[Battle of Molecay]]. Instead, Commander {{TOS|Cain|Cain}}'s undertook the unorthodox maneuver to take an indirect route to the {{TOS|The Twelve Colonies|Colonies}}, believing that the Cylons were lined up between Molecay and the Colonies. 

Apparently typical of the ''Pegasus'' crew, Bojay finds offensive strikes to be as easy as breathing, and worships Cain as a "living legend". Ever since, he has participated in attacks on [[Gamoray]], thwarting the Cylons' plans to make it the center of their "outer capital" and raiding it for fuel and other supplies.

== Post Exodus ==
Bojay and Lieutenant [[Sheba]] intercept ''Galactica'' Viper pilots {{TOS|Apollo}} and {{TOS|Starbuck}} while they are on a routine recon mission, subsequently escorting them back to ''Pegasus''. 

Bojay brags about the accomplishments of Cain during and after the Battle of Molecay, and is one of the first people (along with Cain's daughter, Sheba) to suggest mutiny after {{TOS|Adama}} relieves the war legend of command. He and Sheba both draw their [[laser pistol]]s on Apollo, Boomer and Jolly during an attempt to transfer fuel to ''Galactica'' and the Fleet, as ordered by Commander Adama.<ref>Any charges for aiming a weapon at a fellow Warrior were not levied against them. A cut of ''[[Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack]]'' does not include this scene.</ref> However, they holster their weapons when {{TOS|Baltar}} and the Cylons begin an attack on the Fleet, and the incident is never brought up again.

He, along with Sheba and a small, but armed, group of ''Pegasus'' pilots hinder Apollo, {{TOS|Jolly|Flight Sergeant Jolly}} and Starbuck from completing a necessary fuel transfer from ''Pegasus'' stores to the Fleet {{OS|The Living Legend, Part I}}. Fortunately the oncoming onslaught of [[Cylon Raiders|Cylon fighters]] diffuses this confrontation.  After thwarting {{TOS|Baltar}}'s devastating attack on the Fleet, plans are drafted to take the Cylon fuel stores on [[Gamoray]]. 

Later, Bojay joins a fire team that takes care of the Cylon control center on Gamoray while ''Galactica'' [[Colonial shuttle|shuttles]] would stock up with [[tylium (TOS)|tylium]] fuel to get the fleet past the besieged "outer colony." He is injured during a ground skirmish with {{TOS|Centurion|Cylon Centurions}}, and has to be evacuated to the nearby battlestar ''Pegasus'', by order of [[Medtech]] [[Cassiopeia]]. He and other injured and non-essential personnel are shuttled to ''Galactica'' prior to ''Pegasus''' attack on two {{TOS|basestar|Cylon basestars}} {{OS|The Living Legend, Part II}}.

Bojay is subsequently absorbed into [[Blue Squadron]]. He is one of the fighter pilots abducted by the [[Beings of Light]] prior to the discovery of [[Iblis]] {{OS|War of the Gods, Part I}}, and is subsequently returned after Iblis' banishment {{OS|War of the Gods, Part II}}.

== Notes ==

* The character of Bojay, portrayed by Jack Stauffer, was very much like [[Laurette Spang-McCook]]'s character of Cassiopeia -- the character was to be killed. However, [[Glen A. Larson]] and his peers elected to keep the character on since Stauffer and [[Richard Hatch]] (Apollo) worked so well together.
* In the opening of {{OS|War of the Gods, Part I|prose=y}}, Bojay was referred to by the rank of captain, though it is uncertain if he was promoted as he was a flight leader at the time.
* Bojay is written into an early version of "[[The Man with Nine Lives]]" entitled "[[The Man with Nine Lives#Free Script|The Furlon]]," however these scenes are cut.
