During the flight to the legendary thirteenth colony, [[Earth (TOS)|Earth]], Adama awards Kronus the [[Distinguished Service Medallion]] at a ceremony on ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'' and the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Quorum]] awards him a [[Star of Kobol]] and command of two additional industrial ships—the parts and [[Textiles Ship|textile]] ships. He retains personal command of ''Celestra'' much to the disgust of his [[XO]] [[Charka]], for he feels that Charka was not ready for command. | During the flight to the legendary thirteenth colony, [[Earth (TOS)|Earth]], Adama awards Kronus the [[Distinguished Service Medallion]] at a ceremony on ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'' and the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Quorum]] awards him a [[Star of Kobol]] and command of two additional industrial ships—the parts and [[Textiles Ship|textile]] ships. He retains personal command of the ''Celestra'' much to the disgust of his [[XO]] [[Charka]], for he feels that Charka was not ready for command. Apparently, despite his grievances with the [[The Fleet (TOS)|Fleet]]—which he calls a convoy—he also follows his duties, and is a strict officer who hasn't lost touch despite his age. He is also quite confident in ''Celestra'' crew, despite being civilian. | ||

Charka, with the help of his accomplices (including [[Hermes (TOS)|Hermes]]), almost sends Kronus to his death. However with the help of the mutineers and the [[Warriors]], they manage to sneak aboard ''Celestra'' and wrest control of it from the traitor. | ||

During the firefight on the bridge, the ships navigation console is shot-up and the ship careens uncontrollably. Kronus rushes to the manual steering column, and is killed at Charka's hand in the act of regaining control of ''Celestra''. Adama commits Kronus to the realms of space, where he thrived, as the Fleet mourns his death just soon after they celebrated him {{OS|Take the Celestra}}. | During the firefight on the bridge, the ships navigation console is shot-up and the ship careens uncontrollably.
