:''"If the crew doesn't hate the XO, then he's not doing his job."'' --[[Saul Tigh]] | |||
The '''executive officer''' (more commonly known as the XO) is the second in command aboard a [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] vessel and is responsible for administrative duties and the detailed management of affairs, giving the commanding officer time to deal with broader issues. | |||

* | * While [[Lee Adama]] is assigned to ''Pegasus'' in "[[The Captain's Hand]]", it is doubtful that he was the official XO at that time. According to dialogue he is only sent over to keep an eye on Garner and assess the situation but Garner doesn't even consider him part of the crew. Moreover, according to a [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)#The Captain's Hand|deleted scene]], his father sends him there over concerns about Garner and the performance of the crew, while being undecided on whether to make him the ship's XO or not. | ||
*A [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)#Black Market|deleted scene]] from "[[Black Market]]" shows Captain [[Renner]] as Fisk's XO. However, he doesn't appear in the aired episode and is never mentioned again in the series. This makes his canonical status questionable. | |||
