Palladino' | Lieutenant '''Joe Palladino''', callsign "Hammerhead", was a [[Viper]] pilot aboard the [[Battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]''. He was assigned to lead a detachment of [[Colonial Marine Corps|marines]] to the civilian cargo ship ''[[Gideon]]''. [[Saul Tigh|Colonel Saul Tigh]] ordered him to retrieve desperately needed supplies from the ''Gideon'', which was withholding them from ''Galactica'' in protest of Tigh's declaration of Martial Law. | ||
Due to his inexperience at riot control, he was unable to maintain control of his forces and the irate civilian crowd during the food transfer. When the situation grew violent, one of his marines fired his weapon and other marines under his command began shooting at random into the panicked crowd. Despite repeatedly ordering his marines to cease fire, four civilians were killed during the incident and he was reprimanded by Colonel Tigh for his failure. ("[[Resistance]]") | |||
The killings aboard the ''Gideon'' began to exact a mental toll on Palladino. He began to project the blame for the incident onto Tigh and developed a deep and brooding hatred of the Colonel. When reporter [[D'anna Biers]] began investigating the ''Gideon'' incident, Palladino was forced to relive the nightmare all over again. He eventually snapped and decided to be the one to punish Tigh for incident when no one else would. After a threat, and an attempt to sabotage the Colonel's Raptor, Palladino invaded Tigh's quarters, bound and gagged his wife [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen]] then waited for the Colonel to return. When Tigh returned, Palladino confronted him with a gun and seemed ready to shoot him, however, he lost his nerve and Tigh was able to talk him down. ''Galactica'''s marines then escorted him away in handcuffs while D'anna and her camera crew looked on. Palladino is now in the ''Galactica'' brig, most likely serving a lengthy sentence as a result of his attempt on Colonel Tigh's life. ("[[Final Cut]]") | |||
