| Lieutenant '''Tucker "Duck" Clellan''' is a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilot on ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' circa {{ACH|1}} who, according to [[Louanne Katraine]], is one of the best pilots that ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' has left to offer {{TRS|Scar}}. Clellan is an ace with forty confirmed kills, according to [[Saul Tigh]].
| |
|
| |
|
| Along with most of ''Galactica''{{'|s}} pilots, Clellan participates in the [[Great Cylon Turkey Shoot|massacre of the disabled Cylon raiders]] and the celebration after the christening of the [[Blackbird]] {{TRS|Flight of the Phoenix}}.
| | Lt. '''Tucker "Duck" Clellan''' is likely a former [[nugget]] trained by [[Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] or a refugee from another Colonial unit like [[Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo]] as he is a new face to [[Karl Agathon]] who tries to introduce himself during Duck's card game with [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]], [[Margaret Edmondson|Racetrack]] and [[Brendan Constanza|Hot Dog]]. Duck later participates in the [[Great Cylon Turkey Shoot|massacre of the disabled Cylon raiders]] ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]). |
|
| |
|
| Clellan is later part of the honor guard present on the [[hangar deck]] when [[Admiral]] [[Helena Cain]] arrives on ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' {{TRS|Pegasus (episode)}}.
| | According to [[Louanne Katraine|Kat]], he is one of the best pilots that ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' still has. Clellan helps put [[Reilly]]'s things away after he's killed by Scar ([[Scar]]). |
| | Later, during a patrol of the [[Big Spud]], Duck unsuccessfully calls [[Brent Baxton|BB]] to retreat when their patrol's fuel is too low. BB, a [[nugget]], ignores orders and engages a group of Raiders with fatal results ([[Scar]]). |
|
| |
|
| Later, Clellan takes part in a [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship| joint operation]] which required all available pilots from both the ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' and ''[[Pegasus (RDM)| Pegasus]]'' air wings {{TRS|Resurrection Ship, Part II}}.
| | In "[[The Captain's Hand]]" he tries to enter the [[Pilots Duty Locker|pilots' duty locker]] several times, but [[Lee Adama]] and [[Anastasia Dualla]] have locked it after spending the night together there. |
|
| |
|
| When ''Galactica'' provides protection for an asteroid mining operation, Clellan is among those taking part in regular picket patrols of the area. He is also present during marksmanship training for [[Viper]] [[nugget]][[Joseph Clark| Joseph "Jo-Jo" Clark]], commenting that his first attempt at the same training fared worse than Clark's.
| | At the time of the settling of [[New Caprica]], Duck is an ace several times over with forty confirmed kills. His significant other is a woman called [[Nora]], who wants to have a child with him. He is later approached by his friends, [[Galen Tyrol]] and [[James Lyman]], in an attempt to recruit him into [[New Caprica Resistance|their resistance efforts]], but declines due to his plans with Nora. He is also a smoker, but quits due to his family plans. |

|
| During a patrol of the [[Big Spud]], Clellan unsuccessfully calls for [[Brent Baxton|Brent "BB" Baxton]] to retreat when their Vipers become on low fuel. Baxton, another [[nugget]], ignores orders and engages a group of Raiders with fatal results. Additionally, Clellan helps account for [[Reilly]]'s belongings after the pilot is killed by Scar and he is later present in the pilot's rec room when [[Kara Thrace]] toasts to the deceased pilots {{TRS|Scar}}.
| | Following Nora's death in a Cylon attack on a temple, Duck is clearly upset at the revelation that the resistance was hiding weapons there. After a brief period of mourning, he relents and agrees to join the resistance by infiltrating the New Caprica Police and keeping an eye on the Cylons ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]). |
|
| |
|
| His significant other, [[Nora Farmer]], is a fellow pilot that mustered out of the Colonial Fleet. Clellan is a smoker, but chooses to quit upon deciding to start a family with her {{TRS|Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance}}.
| | Clellan later agrees to become a suicide bomber when the resistance learns about a NCP graduation ceremony, believing that [[Gaius Baltar]] will also be present; when [[Samuel Anders]] asks whether Clellan is comitted, he states that without Nora, he has nothing left to live for. |
| | | Despite Baltar's last-minute withdrawl from attending, Clellan executes the plan ([[Occupation]]), which results in the deaths of 33 people and Cylon VIPs and, eventually, a crackdown including mass abductions of suspected insurgents by the surviving NCP members ([[Precipice]]). |
| == New Caprica ==
| |
| When a colony on New Caprica is established, Clellan is in attendance during the ground breaking ceremony {{TRS|Unfinished Business}}. As settlement operations transpire, both Clellan and Farmer muster out of Colonial Fleet service, as she wants to settle down and have a family. He is approached by [[Galen Tyrol]] and [[James Lyman]] to join the [[New Caprica Resistance|resistance efforts]] when New Caprica is occupied by Cylons, but declines over the desire to be a husband to Nora.
| |
| | |
| Following Nora's death in a Cylon attack on a temple, Clellan becomes violently upset at the revelation that the resistance was hiding weapons there. After a brief period of mourning, he relents and agrees to join the insurgents. His first assignment as a resistance member involves infiltrating the New Caprica Police, where he keeps an eye on both the Cylons and their human collaborators {{TRS|Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance}}.

| |
| He later agrees to become a suicide bomber when the resistance learns about an NCP graduation ceremony, believing that [[Gaius Baltar]] will also be present. When [[Samuel Anders]] asks whether Clellan is committed, Clellan replies that, without Nora, he has nothing left to live for.
| |
| | |
| Despite Baltar's last-minute withdrawal from the ceremony, Clellan detonates his bomb, killing 33 people and several Cylons in the process {{TRS|Occupation|Crossroads, Part I}} . Subsequently, the Cylons begin a crackdown on all individuals thought to be resistance members. They orchestrate mass abductions and executions of suspected insurgents; surviving NCP members, lead by his former friend, Lyman, carry them out {{TRS|Precipice|Exodus, Part I|Exodus, Part II}}. | |
| | |
| Later on ''Galactica'', [[Lee Adama]] and [[Kara Thrace]] make a pact about where to place each other's photos on the wall of memories should either die. Adama requests to have his photo placed next to Duck and Nora, commenting: "Good card players. Nice way to spend eternity." {{TRS|Maelstrom}}

| * It can be inferred by {{callsign|Karl Agathon}}'s apparent need to introduce himself to Clellan that he is a post-[[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Fall]] addition to ''Galactica''{{'|s}} air wing. Given the pilots' close-knit community, the two would probably know each other had they served together before. He is possibly a refugee from another Colonial unit like [[Alex Quartararo|Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo]], or another one of the [[nuggets]] trained by [[Kara Thrace]]. | | *Christian Tessier's last prominent role in a SF series was as Marmaduke "Megabyte" Damon, in the 1992-95 revival of the British series ''[[Wikipedia:The Tomorrow People|The Tomorrow People]]''. |
| * [[Christian Tessier]] would later appear in ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]'' as [[Francis]].
