Council of War

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide

The Council of War is a deliberative body within the Fleet, convened by Commander Adama during times of major crisis.

It is composed of a "senior committee" and holds the authority to make strategic military decisions. The Council's power is significant, as its collective vote can overrule the direct command of Adama. This occurred during the encounter with the Tharian spaceship, when the Council voted in favor of an attack against Adama's wishes (ComicsLook-In Magazine: Storyline 2).[1]

Notes

edit
  • It is possible that the Council of War is another name for the Quorum of Twelve, or a similar civilian/military governing body, though its exact composition is not specified.
