''' | '''Riftis''', who later hides under the alias of '''Chella''', was the administrator of [[Solius]] prior to the [[Battle of Cimtar|Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. | ||
After surviving the initial attack on [[The Twelve Colonies of Man#Caprica|Caprica]], he is slated to board the freighter ''[[Piscon]]'', but misses the transport due to his fears of death at [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] hands. With 8,000 [[cubits]], he bribes Flight Sergeant [[Ortega]] and thus boards ''[[Rising Star (TOS)|Rising Star]]'' while it is being loaded with caretakers and juveniles that could be brought to the [[The Fleet (TOS)|Fleet]]. | After surviving the initial attack on [[The Twelve Colonies of Man#Caprica|Caprica]], he is slated to board the freighter ''[[Piscon]]'', but misses the transport due to his fears of death at [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] hands.

Riftis assumes the name of Chella as part of a ruse to fool people into believing that he died in the attacks. As part of his new life, he becomes Table Three's [[Pyramid (TOS)|Pyramid]] dealer on ''Rising Star'' and frequent spectator to the [[Triad (TOS)|Triad]] tournaments. | |||

Riftis accuses {{TOS|Starbuck}} of the crime, saying that the Warrior was rushing out of the scene of the crime, and was certainly irritated due to Starbuck's ejection from the Triad game. (Unbeknownst to him, Starbuck was catching up to meet [[Cassiopeia (TOS)|Cassiopeia]] before she left on the next transport out.) | ||
Upon information given in the testimonial of Flight Sergeant [[Barton]], Starbuck's defenders—Captain {{TOS|Apollo}} and Lieutenant {{TOS|Boomer}}—visit "Chella" and discover the truth. | Upon information given in the testimonial of Flight Sergeant [[Barton]], Starbuck's defenders—Captain {{TOS|Apollo}} and Lieutenant {{TOS|Boomer}}—visit "Chella" and discover the truth. | ||
