Name: Bojay | |||
Rank: Lieutenant | |||
Position: Viper Pilot, [[Battlestar (TOS)|Battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' | |||
Portrayed By: [[Jack Stauffer]] | |||
Much of Bojay's past is generally remained in the throes of obscurity, however his career seemed to be ensured due to his piloting skills. Bojay is more of a fighter, imbued with the [[Cain (TOS)|Commander Cain]] mentality, though is loyal and outgoing. | |||
== | == Biography == | ||
Bojay | Bojay used to be attached as a [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] pilot to the ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' before being transferred to the [[Pegasus (TOS)|Pegasus]] and the [[Fifth Fleet]] two [[yahren]] prior to the Cylon-induced holocaust. | ||
Bojay, as well as the rest of the ''Pegasus'' crew, were presumed dead at the [[Battle of Molecay]], due to Cain's insistence that they take an indirect route to the [[Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Colonies]]. | |||
Apparently typical of the ''Pegasus'' crew, Bojay found offensive strikes to be as easy as breathing, and worshipped the "living legend", Commander Cain. | |||
Bojay | Bojay and Lieutenant [[Sheba (TOS)|Sheba]] intercepted ''Galactica'' Viper pilots [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] while they were on a routine recon mission, subsequently escorting them back to ''Pegasus''. | ||
Bojay had bragged about the accomplishments of Cain during and after the Battle of Molecay, and was one of the first people (along with Cain's daughter, Sheba) to suggest mutiny after [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] relieved the war legend. | |||
He, along with Sheba and a small, but armed, group of ''Pegasus'' pilots hindered Apollo, [[Jolly (TOS)|Flight Sergeant Jolly]] and Starbuck from completing a necessary fuel transfer from the ''Pegasus'' stores to the Fleet. ([[The Living Legend, Part I]]) Fortunately the oncoming onslaught of [[Cylon Raiders|Cylon fighters]] fragmented this confrontation. After thwarting [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]'s devestating attack on the Fleet, plans were drafted to take the Cylon fuel stores on [[Gamoray (TOS)|Gamoray]]. | |||
Later, he was added to the team that would be dropped down to the planet to take care of the Cylon control center on Gamoray while the ''Galactica'' [[shuttle|shuttles]] would stock up with [[tylium]] fuel to get the fleet past the besieged "outer colony". He was injured during the ground skirmish with [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|Cylon Centurions]], and had to be evacuated to the nearby battlestar ''Pegasus'', by order of MedTech [[Cassiopeia]]. He and other injured and "non-essential" personnel were shuttled to the ''Galactica'' prior to the ''Pegasus''' attack on two [[basestar (TOS)|Cylon basestars]]. ([[The Living Legend, Part II]]) | |||
Bojay was absorbed into [[Blue Squadron]] and was one of the fighter pilots that went missing by the intervention of the Beings of Light. ([[War of the Gods]]) | |||
== | == 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, but then saved and added to Battlestar's recurring cast of characters once found to be useful. Since Stauffer and [[Richard Hatch]] (Apollo) worked so well together, [[Glen A. Larson|Larson]] and his peers elected to keep the character of Bojay on. Although the last time we had ever seen Bojay was in [[War of the Gods]] -- where he disappeared in the first act after encountering the [[Ship of Lights|Beings' colossus]] -- Stauffer would've had a strong recurring part like those of [[Herb Jefferson Jr.]], Laurette Spang-McCook, or [[Anne Lockhart]], had there been a second season. | |||
