| '''Bojay''' is a {{TOS|Viper}} pilot in the {{TOS|Colonial Fleet}} during the last years of the [[Thousand-Yahren War]].
| | Rank: Lieutenant |
|
| |
|
| == Pre-Battle of Cimtar ==
| | Position: Viper Pilot, [[Battlestar (TOS)|Battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' |
| 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.
| | Portrayed By: [[Jack Stauffer]] |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | Much of Bojay's past generally remains in the throes of obscurity, however his career seems 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. |

| 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. | | '''Bojay''' used to be attached as a [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] pilot aboard ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' before being transferred to the [[Pegasus (TOS)|Pegasus]] and the [[Fifth Fleet]] two [[yahren]] prior to the [[Battle of Cimtar |Cylon-initiated holocaust]]. |

|
| 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]].
| | 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]]. |
|
| |
|
| 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}}.
| | Apparently typical of the ''Pegasus'' crew, Bojay finds offensive strikes to be as easy as breathing, and worships the "living legend", Commander Cain. |

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

| * 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.

After thwarting [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]'s devestating attack on the Fleet, plans are drafted to take the Cylon fuel stores on [[Gamoray (TOS)|Gamoray]]. |
| * 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.

| | * 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. |
