| In ''[[Surrender the Galactica!]]'', the '''Imperious Leader''' appears as a holographic representation to [[Spectre (TOS-BN)|Spectre]], described as having "physical immensity" with "many-eyed, knobby-skinned" features and skin displaying "every possible shade of gray." He tasks Spectre with capturing ''[[Galactica (TOS-BN)|Galactica]]'' and its fleet, demanding that Spectre "turn the ''Galactica'' into a floating derelict and bring [[Adama (TOS-BN)|its commander]] to your pedestal personally... in chains." The Leader expresses weariness with watching "the humans continue to slip out of our grasp" and desires to "parade them through the capital and humiliate them."<ref name="STG41-42">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|authorlink=Glen A.
