Stoffa

Dr. Stoffa is a member of the Fleet following the Second Exodus.

Aboard Galactica, Dr. Cottle instructs Daniel Novacek, boarding a Raptor bound for another ship in the Fleet, to have Dr. Stoffa contact Cottle after Novacek arrives at his destination ^{(TRS: "Hero")}.

Notes

• Before the episode "Hero," no information was available on the availability of another physician aside from Doctor Cottle. While never explicitly stated, many people assumed from Cottle's off-ship duties ^{(TRS: "Scattered")}, that he is the only physician in the Fleet. Stoffa could be a physician from Pegasus, but based on the context of Cottle's dialogue and the nature of Novacek's ordeal, Stoffa may be a clinical psychologist and not a medical doctor.
• The October 25, 2006 "Full Collated" version of David Eick's "Hero" screenplay provides no additional details about Dr. Stoffa beyond what appears in the final aired episode. The character appears only as part of Cottle's instruction to Novacek, suggesting Stoffa's role was conceived specifically as a specialist for trauma counseling rather than general medical practice.
