Flight Sergeant '''Ortega''' is a [[Warrior]] who is part of [[Battlestar (TOS)|battlestar]] ''{{TOS|Galactica}}''{{'|s}} {{TOS|Viper}} corps. He is reputed to be an aggressive loner, who engages in illegal activities, yet manages to keep quiet about his personal beliefs otherwise.
Flight Sergeant '''Ortega''' is an immature [[Warrior]] and loner who is aggressive and engaged in illegal activities, but somehow manages to keep his mouth shut about personal issues.


== A Life of Self-Service ==
Ortega had previously met Lieutenant [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] at the Colonial Academy, probably at flight training, and loathed him ever since. He is a member of  [[Battlestar (TOS)|battlestar]] [[Galactica (TOS)|''Galactica's'']] [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] corps. He teams up with [[Barton|Flight Sergeant Barton]], who personally dislikes but tolerates Ortega as he is a good [[Triad (TOS)|Triad]] player.
Ortega had previously met Lieutenant {{TOS|Starbuck}} at the [[Academy|Colonial Academy]], probably at flight training, and loathed him ever since. They often engage in an unhealthy, unfriendly rivalry.  


''W''hile evacuating from [[Caprica (TOS)|Caprica]] in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Cimtar]], three people bribe Ortega for places aboard ''[[Rising Star (TOS)|Rising Star]]''—places reserved for children and their caretakers. Ortega unwisely blackmails [[Karibdis]] along with two others: [[Elias]] and [[Rifkus]].
During the loading of the ''[[Rising Star (TOS)|Rising Star]]'', three people bribe Ortega for places aboard the starliner -- places reserved for children and their caretakers. Ortega unwisely blackmails [[Karibdis]], [[Elias]], and [[Riftis]] afterward.


Rifkus, who assumes an alias as [[Chella]], works as a dealer at a [[chancery]] table on ''Rising Star.'' Ortega often sits at his dealer's table to continually extort money.  
Riftis, who assumes an alias as [[Chella]], works as a dealer at a [[chancery]] table on the ''Rising Star'', which Ortega sits often and extorts money.


During a long recon mission, Ortega reveals to Flight Sergeant [[Barton]] that the only person with enough gall to kill him was Karibdis (a.k.a. [[Pallon]]). Outside of their duty patrols, Barton is part of Ortega's [[Triad (TOS)|Triad]] team, despite his personal dislike.
During a long recon mission sometime before his death, Ortega reveals to Barton that the only person with enough gall to kill him was Karibdis (who chooses the alias of [[Pallon]]).


== Death ==
Before Ortega's death by Karibdis, he manages to eject both himself and Starbuck out of the Triad game. Karibdis, tired of the continual blackmail, uses Starbuck's [[laser pistol]] to kill Ortega before the corrupt Warrior has a chance to fire.

Ortega is likely missed by few, but the Colonial Warrior is given a proper burial nonetheless {{OS|Murder on the Rising Star}}.
