'''Noel "Narcho" Allison''' is a senior [[Viper Mark VII|Viper]] pilot on the [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', who later transfers to ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' after the destruction of ''Pegasus'' at the [[Battle of New Caprica]].

== Before the Discovery of the Thirteenth Colony ==

He accompanies Admiral [[Helena Cain]]'s delegation to ''Galactica'', and shows off his 48 kill markers to fellow pilots [[Margaret Edmondson|Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson]] and [[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] that earn him scorn from the latter.

Allison also participates in the briefing about the mysterious Cylon ship, and scoffs at Kara Thrace's suggestion to use the [[Blackbird]] for the forthcoming recon mission on the [[Resurrection Ship|Cylon vessel]] {{TRSPegasus (episode)}}.

Allison is later part of the group of ''Pegasus'' alert vipers that launch in response to ''Galactica''{{'|s}} Viper squadron launch. Allison assumes the role of flight leader while their [[CAG]], [[Cole Taylor|Cole "Stinger" Taylor]], is preparing for the Raptor recon mission.

During the Viper engagement, Allison tangles with ''Galactica'' pilot {{callsign|Kat}}, though neither fires a shot {{TRS|Resurrection Ship, Part I}}.

After ''Pegasus''{{'|s}} destruction, he continues as a Viper pilot on ''Galactica'', participating in the botched training mission that leads to Kara Thrace's removal from flight status by ''Galactica''{{'|s}} CAG, Lee Adama. He is also present when [[Brendan Costanza|Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza]] suggests "[[Athena]]" as {{callsign|Athena}}'s callsign {{TRS|Torn}}. 

His name is shown among the active pilots on ''Galactica''{{'|s}} duty roster in "[[The Passage]]" under recently deceased squadron leader [[Louanne Katraine|Louanne "Kat" Katraine]].

During a flight briefing, Allison vocally announces the fact the Fleet has gone 49 consecutive days without a Cylon encounter, earning him a witty retort from Thrace regarding his flying skills {{TRS|A Day in the Life}}.

Two weeks after [[Maelstrom|Kara Thrace's death]], Allison is present during the daily mission brief conducted by {{callsign|Apollo}}, immediately prior to his being taken off flight status and replaced with [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]] as CAG {{TRS|The Son Also Rises}}.

During Lee Adama's retirement party, Allison prompts Adama to hold a speech, combined with a drinking ritual where Adama has to drink a shot of [[ambrosia]] with each toast {{TRS|Six of One}}.

== Post-Thirteenth Colony and the Mutiny ==

Allison assists [[Felix Gaeta]] with his [[Gaeta's Mutiny|mutiny aboard ''Galactica'']] by arming a number of civilians with stolen munitions on C-deck. When [[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] demanding to know why he was in charge, he brusquely tells her to evacuate with the others.  After the mutiny is nearly complete, Allison is flying [[Combat Air Patrol|CAP]] with [[Brendan Costanza|Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza]] when Gaeta orders him to use deadly force to stop the [[Raptor]] with [[Laura Roslin]] and [[Gaius Baltar]] aboard, in order to prevent the Raptor from landing aboard the rebel [[basestar (RDM)|basestar]] {{TRS|The Oath}}.

After learning that Roslin is aboard the Raptor, Costanza refuses to fire, forcing Allison to launch a missile at the Raptor, which misses its target and hits the baseship. The Raptor makes it to the baseship, and Allison breaks off the attack. He is later assigned command of a firing squad ordered to kill Admiral [[William Adama]], showing some reluctance though he goes through with it. Before the execution can be carried out, Adama is rescued by Lee Adama, [[Saul Tigh]], Sharon Agathon, and [[Aaron Kelly]]; Allison is forced at gunpoint by Tigh to report Adama dead and seems a bit relieved not to have to go through with the execution. Adama convinces the [[Marines]] to join him in retaking the ship, however Allison refuses stating that while he highly respects Adama, he hates the Cylons and won't serve under someone who won't fight them; Adama orders him tied up rather than killed as Tigh wants {{TRS|Blood on the Scales}}. 

After the rebellion is put down, Allison is presumably incarcerated on the ''[[Astral Queen]]'' with the other mutineers. Weeks later, Admiral Adama offers the mutineers their freedom in exchange for participating in what is almost [[Battle of The Colony|a suicide mission]] to rescue [[Hera Agathon]] from [[John Cavil]]'s forces, although Allison's participation in this battle is unknown ("[[Daybreak, Part I]]"; "[[Daybreak, Part II]]").

==Notes==

*This character is identified as "Narcho" in the [[Podcast:Resurrection Ship, Part I|podcast]] for the episode "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]," however, he is not listed in the ending credits for that episode. 
*His real name was supplied by [[Bradley Thompson]].
*This character was apparently the first choice as Felix Gaeta's partner, according to the writer commentary for part one of "[[The Face of the Enemy]]" webisodes.
*Given his comment that he has always respected Adama, he likely respected him even when under Cain's command and was just following orders when he tangled with his pilots during the standoff between ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus''.
