Naia is the mother of a young boy Gaius, named after his father; both she and her son survive the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.
Following Gaeta's Mutiny circa 4 ACH (2003BYR), Naia and her son reside in Dogsville, and are one of many families calling the refugee camp home while subsisting on meager rations distributed by Galactica crew members.
During his travels through Dogsville with select acolytes, Gaius Baltar is drawn by her beauty and greets her warmly. He asks about her son and she tells him his name is Gaius, after his father. Baltar asks the young Gaius if he is hungry, to which the boy nods. He offers them food from their own stock over Paulla Schaffer's protests; Baltar then makes a grand speech promising to feed all the people of Dogsville. Naia embraces him in gratitude, while his followers look on.
Naia and her son are present as they collect their food from Baltar and his followers, when the Sons of Ares show up armed and steal it all for themselves. This event forces Baltar to beseech Admiral William Adama for weapons to police the civilian population onboard (TRS: "Deadlock").
Notes[edit]
- It is not directly stated if her son Gaius is named after Gaius Baltar directly, but it is strongly implied in light of Baltar's various and well-known proclivities.
- The name Naia originates from the Naiads of Greek mythology. Naiads are a form of nymphs presiding over various sources of fresh water.
