Lt. '''Tucker "Duck" Clellan''' is a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilot on the battlestar ''[[Galactica]]'', and according to [[Louanne Katraine|Kat]], is one of the best pilots that ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' has left to offer ([[Scar]]). At the time of the settling of [[New Caprica]], Clellan is an ace with forty confirmed kills. His significant other, [[Nora]], is a fellow pilot. Clellan is a smoker, but chooses to quit upon deciding to start a family with her. | |||
Clellan | Clellan, along with most of ''Galactica's'' pilots, participates in the [[Great Cylon Turkey Shoot|massacre of the disabled Cylon raiders]] ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]). | ||
During a patrol of the [[Big Spud]], Clellan unsuccessfully calls for [[Brent Baxton|BB]] to retreat when their Vipers become on low fuel. BB, a [[nugget]], ignores orders and engages a group of Raiders with fatal results ([[Scar]]). Additionally, Clellan helps account for [[Reilly]]'s belongings after the pilot is killed by Scar ([[Scar]]). | |||
When | When a colony on New Caprica is established, both Clellan and Nora 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 Colonial 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 human collaborators in addition to the Cylons ([[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. | 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.

Give 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|Crashdown]] or another one of the [[nuggets]] trained by [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]]. | ||
