| Following the evacuation of New Caprica, Mathias is involved in a number of key actions. She joins a boarding party that investigates an infected basestar discovered at the [[Lion's Head Nebula]]. She is assigned to execute prisoners retrieved from this baseship in a failed plan to infect the entire Cylon race via the download process {{TRS|A Measure of Salvation}}. She also leads the Marine force on the so-called [[algae planet]] and is ordered by Lee Adama to detain Samuel Anders when he attempts to rescue his wife, Thrace {{TRS|The Eye of Jupiter}}. When Thrace later takes President [[Laura Roslin]] hostage, Mathias commands the Marine response team and escorts Thrace to ''{{RDM|Galactica}}''{{'|s}} hangar deck after she is released from the brig {{TRS|Six of One}}.
