'''Doyle Franks''', captain of ''[[Prometheus (ship)|Prometheus]]''<ref>The [[:Image:PatchPrometheus.jpg|patch]] on her uniform shows the ship's name.</ref>, is one of the five [[the Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] captains chosen at random to be a judge for the trial of [[Gaius Baltar]] ([[The Son Also Rises]]).

During Baltar's trial, she is given the status of head judge {{TRS|Crossroads, Part I}} and is responsible for delivering the tribunal's non-guilty verdict, which she voted for {{TRS|Sine Qua Non}}, much to the outrage of many of the trial's civilian observers {{TRS|Crossroads, Part II}}.

After the trial Franks was approached to run for a political office, but she declined, saying that she has no ambitions in that area {{TRS|Sine Qua Non}}. However, she is later appointed delegate to the [[Quorum of Ships' Captains|Quorum]] after its restructuring and is involved in the motion to begin stripping ''Galactica'' of parts for the benefit of the rest of the fleet ([[Islanded in a Stream of Stars]]).

== Notes == 

* It is ironic that the captain of the [[Black market (organization)|most lawless ship]] in the Fleet should wind up head judge in the most important legal case in the Fleet's history.
* Franks's first name, Doyle, is not mentioned in dialogue, but seen in the credits.
