Ila was Adama's only wife, and mother to Apollo, Athena, and Zac.

While Ila's body isn't found in the ruins of Adama's home, Adama feels sure that she was in the home when she died. All that Commander Adama finds of his wife in the bombed-out remains of his Caprican home is a picture of her, along with pictures of their children (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").

Not much is known about her, except that during their marriage Adama used to irritate her when he bent tableware telekinetically during his evaluation by the Colonial Military Institute (TOS: "War of the Gods, Part II").

Notes[edit]

  • The actress used for the photo of Ila was not credited, but was identified via computer-aided facial recognition as Diane Jones. Jones' appearances are mainly background roles during the 1970s, outside of her debut appearance in the 1970's sexploitation flick The Psycho Lover. Outside of her role as Ila that had been relegated to portraiture, she appeared in live action sequences as one of the bar maidens at Lacerta's bar in "The Lost Warrior," and can first be seen when Apollo first walks in to make Lacerta's, Marco's and Red-Eye's acquaintance. Later, she is seen one final time behind Marco when Vella grieves over the table where Bootes body is splayed, having met a bad end at Red-Eye's stolen laser pistol.
  • This character, and her Re-imagined Series counterpart, Carolanne Adama, share one commonality: both die in their respective attacks on the Colonies, and both are seen only after their deaths.
