Captain '''Cole "Stinger" Taylor''' is the former [[CAG]] of the [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''. | Captain '''Cole "Stinger" Taylor''' is the former [[CAG]] of the [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''. Like many officers from ''Pegasus'', Taylor is a humorless officer that seems to regard [[Galactica (RDM)|''Galactica''{{'|s}}]] officers as tainted in some way. He feels that Commander [[William Adama|Adama's]] son, [[Lee Adama|Lee]], has been given his responsibilities as CAG through his father's influence. | ||
When Captain Adama is transferred to ''Pegasus'' on Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]]'s orders, Taylor busts Lee Adama's role to a mere [[Raptor]] pilot to accompany him on a recon mission to an [[Resurrection Ship|unknown Cylon ship]] {{TRS|Pegasus (episode)}}. While on the mission, tensions break out between ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus''. Under Cain's orders, Taylor relieves Adama at gunpoint. Adama is allowed to go to the back of the Raptor where he secretly contacts [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] aboard the [[Blackbird]], who has just returned from her own secret reconnaissance effort of the Cylon vessel. | |||
Once tensions between the two battlestars temporarily cool, Cain receives a download of Starbuck's recon photos. Impressed not only by Starbuck's work, but in her brazenness, she promotes Thrace to Captain and to the duties of ''Pegasus'' CAG, replacing Taylor, who had failed to notice Starbuck and Apollo's scheming behind his back {{TRS|Resurrection Ship, Part I}}. | |||
Later, Stinger is placed in the brig after mouthing off to ''Pegasus's'' commanding officer, Commander [[Barry Garner|Garner]]. Whether or not he is released following Garner's death is not known {{TRS|The Captain's Hand}}. | |||
