'''Tigh''' is a Colonial serving in the [[Colonial Military (TOS)|Colonial Military]] during the last stages of the [[Thousand Yahren War]] and the lone [[battlestar (TOS)|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (TOS alternate)|Galactica]]''{{'|s}} executive officer following the [[Cylon Holocaust]].

== The Thousand Yahren War == 

As a [[Viper (TOS alternate)|Viper]] pilot aboard battlestar ''[[Rylon]]'' in 7322, he and wingman Captain {{alt|Adama|TOS}} are the first Warriors on site during the attack on [[Umbra]], [[Caprica (TOS alternate)|Caprica]]. 

As they attempt to fight off phalanxes of [[Cylon (TOS alternate)|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS alternate)|Raider]], Adama is shot down and crash-lands into the [[Thorn forest]] near Umbra. Before crashing, Adama orders Tigh to return to ''Rylon'' for reinforcements. He does so, and is able to secure a medi-ship to pick up both Adama and [[Starbuck (TOS alternate)|the young orphaned child]] whom saved his life ({{comics|starbuck|1}}).

== The Path to Earth ==

In the aftermath of the [[Nebula Ambush]], Tigh leads a damage control team to the luxury craft ''[[Ariadna]]'', a ship whose engines are failing and leaving {{alt|Athena|TOS}} to determine the next steps as to planning a future evacuation of the craft's passengers. After nursing the ship back to health, Tigh and his team return to ''Galactica'' after escaping into the [[storm zone]], committing himself to keeping ''Ariadna'' operational for as long as possible ({{comics|vol2|7}}). During the travel through the [[storm zone]], Tigh and {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} find themselves at odds over {{alt|Adama|TOS}}'s decline, particularly when Adama fervently professes his belief that {{alt|Earth|TOS}} truly lies at the center of the storm zone ({{comics|vol2|8}}).

Following the [[Battle at Galaxy's Edge]], Tigh assumes command of ''Galactica'' following Adama's incapacitation due to transit through a mysterious [[black hole]] ({{comics|vol3|1}}). During this time, Tigh participates in deliberations over {{alt|Lucifer}}'s request for sanctuary against the [[Meclons]]. Despite his distaste for the Cylons, he coordinates efforts on defense between Lucifer's {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} and the [[Colonial Warriors]], including {{alt|Baltar|TOS}}'s efforts to integrate Cylon programming into {{alt|Viper|TOS}}s ({{comics|vol3|3}} & {{comics|vol3|4|short=y}}).

Tigh is pleased at Adama's recovery and stops {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} from shooting Adama following Apollo's realization that {{alt|Iblis}} possesses him ({{comics|vol3|5}}).
