Editing Orin

{{separate continuity|universe=TOS|lcont=Battlestar Galactica (SDS)|cont=Singer-DeSanto continuation}}

In the [[SDS|continuation]] series project concept, produced by [[Tom DeSanto]] and [[Bryan Singer]], the [[The Fleet (TOS)|Fleet]], tired of their space exodus, settle in an asteroid field. Commander {{TOS|Adama}} has passed on. Eventually succeeding Adama as the commander of the battlestar is the man once known as {{TOS|Boxey}} in childhood. As commander of ''[[Galactica (SDS)|Galactica]]'', he is known as Commander '''Orin'''.

The Council directs the outmoded battlestar ''[[Galactica (SDS)|Galactica]]'' to be decommissioned. President [[Mara]] attends the decommissioning ceremonies aboard the battlestar. Just as ''Galactica'' is powered down, a heavily advanced version of the [[Cylons (SDS)|Cylons]] return to attack the colony.

''Galactica'' is heavily damaged by the Cylon attack, but Orin later introduces a new Viper model to fight off the Cylon horde, and reactivates the battlestar.

===Similarities===

In the [[Original Series]], the character of {{TOS|Boxey}} later appears as a [[Colonial Warrior]] with the name of [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] in the spinoff series, ''[[Galactica 1980]]''.

In the [[Re-imagined Series]], an orphaned child named [[Boxey (RDM)|Boxey]] appears, but has very limited screen time.
