			Commander '''Silas Nash''' is the first commanding officer of the [[Galactica type battlestar\|battlestar]] ''{{RDM\|Galactica}}'' during the [[Cylon War]].

			== Service During the First Cylon War ==

			Nash demonstrated a pragmatic approach to command, understanding both the necessity of operational security and the importance of recognizing talent when he saw it. His willingness to entrust a critical covert mission to a fresh Academy graduate showed his ability to assess personnel beyond their formal records, while his later acknowledgment of Adama's performance indicated his fairness as a commanding officer.
