[[Image:leiter.jpg|thumb|Commandant Leiter of the Eastern Alliance]]
Commandant Leiter commanded the [[Eastern Alliance destroyer]] that discovered the [[Viper (TOS)|Colonial Vipers]], he is a stringent military officer that fit snuggly in with the persona of the [[Eastern Alliance]]: ruthless and fascist. He commented that the people on Destroyer Two were incompetent and unworthy of the ship they were bestowed.

Leiter ordered subordinate [[Krebbs]] to alter course to [[Paradeen]] after the latter reported ships of unidentified silhouette and with power consumption of immeasurable scale. They subsequently tracked the beacon -- left on by [[Hector]] who forgot to shut it down and destroy it -- and attempted to threaten [[Sarah]] with [[Walker]]'s life, hoping to reveal the locations of the Viper pilots. [[Michael]], [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]], [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and others had other ideas in mind and manage to overpower the dozen Alliance officers.

The commandant attempted to brag about the power of his Eastern Alliance, but Starbuck cheerfully pointed out to him the [[Battlestar (TOS)|Battlestar]] [[Galactica (TOS)|''Galactica'']], which left Leiter in amazement after Krebbs pointed out that the ship was the largest that they have ever seen before ([[Greetings from Earth (TOS)|Greetings from Earth]]).

The Alliance officers were deposited on the [[Prison Barge]], with [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] attempting to question the commandant on [[Terra]] and other aspects of the Eastern Alliance. Typical of his type, Leiter revealed little of worth before [[Reese]], who informed Adama that the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Quorum]] requested his presence, interrupted Adama's interrogation.

Leiter was later involved with the escape of the [[Borellian Nomen]], [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]], and his officers. Thanks to Baltar and the captured Quorum members, he managed to get his crew and ship back, lifting off ''Galactica'' with the three Nomen ([[Bora]], [[Maga]], and [[Taba]]) ([[Baltar's Escape (TOS)|Baltar's Escape]]).

-Upon discovery of the Vipers, Leiter orders [[Krebbs]] to alter course to [[Paradeen]] after the latter reported the fighters as having a power consumption of immeasurable scale. They subsequently track the landing beacon&mdash;left on by [[Hector]] who neglected to deactivate and destroy the device&mdash;and attempts to threaten [[Sarah]] with [[Walker]]'s life, hoping to reveal the locations of the Viper pilots. Much to Leiter's misfortune, [[Michael]], {{TOS|Apollo}}, {{TOS|Starbuck}} and their group had other ideas in mind and manage to overpower the dozen Alliance officers.

-When the destroyer is escorted to ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'' by Apollo and Starbuck, Leiter attempts to boast about the power of the Eastern Alliance, to which Starbuck cheerfully points out [[Battlestar (TOS)|battlestar]] ''Galactica''.
