Editing Vella

'''Vella''' was a human resident of [[Equellus]], a low-tech agrarian planet.

Vella lived on a ranch raising ovines (cattle), next door to her brother [[Bootes]]' ranch.  She met a [[Colonial Warrior]] named [[Martin]] who had crash landed on Equellus.  She nursed the marooned warrior back to health, after which they fell in love and were married.  They had a son together, named [[Puppis]].  Soon after Puppis' birth, though, her husband was killed by [[Red-Eye]], a likewise-marooned [[Cylon Centurion (TOS)|Cylon Centurion]].  Vella came to abhor violence and guns, which had taken her husband's life.  Like the other oppresed ranchers, she unwillingly paid a monthly "tribute" to Red-Eye, who had become a pawn of [[Lacerta]], a bully and strong arm man.

When [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]]'s Viper ran out of fuel and crash landed on Equellus, Vella helped hide him from Red-Eye, who came investigating the noise of Apollo's landing.  She fed Apollo and gave him appropriate clothing to mix in with the town folk so he could investigate Red-Eye and Lacerta.  Later, Vella revealed to Apollo the whole story of her late husband, despite the pain brought on by the memories.  When she learned that her brother Bootes had ridden into town drunk and looking to pick a fight with Red-Eye, she asked Apollo to help.  Although he didn't arrive in time to save Bootes' life, Apollo was nevertheless able to destroy Red-Eye, freeing Vella and the others from Lacertas' evil reign.

Despite the fact that she was beginning to develop feelings for Apollo, Vella showed him the location of Martin's crashed Viper, enabling Apollo's return to the ''Galactica''.  She was last seen staring up at the stars with her son, just as her husband had done yahrens earlier, wondering if she would ever see Apollo again. ([[The Lost Warrior]])
