			Admiral '''Peter R. Corman''' is a high-ranking officer in the [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)\|Colonial Fleet]] circa {{BCH\|6}}<ref name="hero_timeline_continuity_armistice" group="footnotes">While dialogue from "Hero" places these events at 1 BCH, this contradicts previously established dates about the time Adama and others served on ''Galactica''. See [[Hero#Analysis]] for a detailed explanation why ''Battlestar Wiki'' chooses to treat this as a continuity error.</ref>.

	~~Admiral '''Peter R. Corman''' is~~ a ~~high-ranking officer in the [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)\|Colonial Fleet]]. A~~ member of the Colonial Fleet Admiralty, Corman ordered Commander [[William Adama]] and the battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]'' to escort a [[Stealthstar\|recon vessel]] over the [[Armistice Line]] prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] {{TRS\|Hero}}.		As a member of the Colonial Fleet [[Admiralty]], Corman ordered Commander [[William Adama]] and the battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]'' to escort a [[Stealthstar\|recon vessel]] over the [[Armistice Line]] prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] {{TRS\|Hero}}.

			== Mission Authorization ==

			Admiral Corman authorized the classified reconnaissance mission that preceded the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. During a briefing with Commander Adama, Corman emphasized the critical nature of the operation, stating that they might "never have this opportunity again" to gather intelligence on potential [[Cylons (RDM)\|Cylon]] activity beyond the [[Armistice Line]].

			Corman made clear that the mission was highly classified, telling Adama "this conversation did not happen" and ensuring that Adama understood the severe consequences if the operation were discovered by the Cylons. The Admiral granted Adama's request to use his own personnel for the mission, particularly for the [[Stealthstar]] pilot, {{Callsign\|Bulldog}}, acknowledging the specialized nature of the reconnaissance operation {{TRS\|Hero}}.

			=== From Script to Screen ===

			* The October 25, 2006 "Full Collated" version of the "[[Hero]]" script contains an extensive briefing scene between Admiral Corman and Commander Adama that establishes the political context and reconnaissance objectives of the mission.<ref name="eick_hero_script_corman_adama_extensive_briefing_political_context2" group="script">{{cite script\|writer=David Eick\|title=Hero\|series=Battlestar Galactica\|season_number=3\|episode_number=7\|production_code=307-03007\|script_date=October 25, 2006\|version=Full Collated\|page=PDF page 14, script page 8}}</ref> This detailed scene was omitted from the aired episode, which instead conveys the mission background through dialogue and flashbacks.

			* The screenplay depicts Corman's office with specific environmental details, including sunshine and blue sky visible through a picture-frame window, and describes Corman as "drenching his words in grave sincerity" while treating the briefing as his "moment in time."<ref group="script" name="eick_hero_script_corman_office_environment_grave_sincerity">{{cite script\|writer=David Eick\|title=Hero\|series=Battlestar Galactica\|season_number=3\|episode_number=7\|production_code=307-03007\|script_date=October 25, 2006\|version=Full Collated\|page=PDF page 14, script page 8}}</ref>

			* An additional scene in the script shows Corman debriefing Adama after the mission, with rapid-fire questioning about what Adama observed, including Corman insisting "they were Cylons" and pressuring Adama to acknowledge the enemy contact despite Adama's uncertainty.<ref group="script" name="eick_hero_script_corman_debriefing_rapid_fire_cylons_insistence">{{cite script\|writer=David Eick\|title=Hero\|series=Battlestar Galactica\|season_number=3\|episode_number=7\|production_code=307-03007\|script_date=October 25, 2006\|version=Full Collated\|page=PDF page 38, script page 30A}}</ref> This scene was removed from the final version, likely to focus on Adama's personal guilt rather than the political aftermath.
