'''Ser 5-9''', an abbreviated form of '''Series 5, Culture 9''', is a [[Theta|Theta-class]] life-form on [[Arcta]]. While classified as a worker clone, Ser demonstrates acts of compassion, courage and level-headedness, and is inspired to rebel against [[Vulpa]]'s [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]]. He assists in the recovery of ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'' expedition who had survived Death Point thanks to [[Muffit]]. After their rescue, he leads the ''Galactica''{{'|s}} crew to the Cylon-dominated underground city, secreting {{TOS|Boxey}} and his [[Daggit]] with the Theta children.

Upon [[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]]'s instance, Ser leads Apollo to the "[[Father-Creator]]," [[Ravashol|Doctor Ravashol]]. When Ravashol initially claims that the [[Ravashol pulsar|pulsar]] is manned by Thetas, Ser respectfully informs Ravashol that any Theta approaching the pulsar was whipped.  During this conversation, a contingent of Cylon Centurions interrupt to perform an inspection; Ser hides Apollo in a research computer stack and allows himself to be captured. Since [[Planners]] are only permitted in the laboratory areas, his discovery leads to Ser's punishment via whipping, in spite of Ravashol's claims that he needed someone to do heavy work on short notice.

Despite Ser's apparent willingness to aid the Colonials, he is against destroying the pulsar, as it was the only means to defend themselves against the Cylons. It takes Ravashol to convince him that they must help the surviving Colonials by destroying the pulsar. Once convinced, Ser leads Apollo, [[Wolfe]], [[Croft]] and [[Leda]] to the top of the mountain where the pulsar is housed.  In the attempt, he is injured by an avalanche leaving him unable to lead, though he is able to inform the Colonials on how to enter the pulsar via the air intake vent ("[[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I]]," "[[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part II]]")
