Editing Senior Staff of Galactica

== Present Senior Staff  ==

=== CIC  ===

*Admiral [[William Adama]] - Commanding officer 
*Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] - [[Executive officer]] 
*Captain [[Kara Thrace]] - [[Commander Air Group]]
*Lieutenant [[Louis Hoshi]] - Senior Officer of the Watch/Tactical officer
*Unknown (Formerly Lieutenant Hoshi) - [[Communications officer]]

*Lieutenant [[Terry Burrell]] (seen only in "[[Sacrifice]]") 
*[[Unnamed Galactica and Pegasus crew (RDM)#Marine Lieutenant|Unnamed lieutenant]] (seen only in "[[Escape Velocity]]" and "[[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]")

== Chain of Command  ==

The current commander of ''Galactica'' is Admiral Adama, and second-in-command is Colonel Tigh (Tigh has retained this position despite the revelation that he is one of the [[Final Five]] Cylons). Captain Karl Agathon has risen to third-in-command and has frequently filled in as executive officer. Beyond that the hierarchy is unclear. Major [[Cottle|Cottle]] is a medical officer and outside of the chain of command, and Captain [[Aaron Kelly|Aaron Kelly]]'s detention ("[[The Son Also Rises|The Son Also Rises]]") presumably removes him from the order of precedence.
