'''Virgil''' is the tech chief<ref name="ARM229">{{cite book/RH|1|229}}</ref> aboard ''[[Galactica (TOS-RH)|Galactica]]'' in [[7360 (TOS-RH)|7360]].<ref name="ARM158">{{cite book/RH|1|158}}</ref>
'''Marialis''' is the {{TOS-RH|Gemon}} head of the [[Gemon Matriarchs]] in {{TOS-RH|7360}}. She is described as being tall and slender, having "bright and lively eyes" in contrast with her characteristically pale disposition, and a charismatic quality that gave her the ability to make "her every comment seem inarguable"<ref name="p75">{{cite book/RH|1|75}}</ref>.


==Biography==
Marialis, {{TOS-RH|Cassiopeia}} and other members of the Gemon Matriarchs arrange for [[Guinevere]] to be present on ''{{TOS-RH|Galactica}}''{{'|s}} bridge<ref name="p74">{{cite book/RH|1|74}}</ref>, from where Lieutenant Colonel {{TOS-RH|Athena}} would declare her nomination as commander of {{TOS-RH|the Fleet}}<ref name="p76">{{cite book/RH|1|76}}</ref>, a nomination seconded by Marialis herself<ref name="p77">{{cite book/RH|1|77}}</ref> {{RH|Armageddon}}.


Following [[Adama (TOS-RH)|Commander Adama]]'s demise and [[Puck (TOS-RH)|Ambassador Puck]]'s decision to vie for command of [[The Fleet (TOS)|the Fleet]], Virgil leads a labor strike aboard ''Galactica'' in support of Puck's ascension.<ref name="ARM159">{{cite book/RH|1|159}}</ref> The work stoppage necessitates Major [[Sheba (TOS-RH)|Sheba]]'s action to enlist [[Colonial Warrior]]s to fill the workers' spots, including Lieutenant [[Jolly (TOS-RH)|Jolly]]'s assumption of Virgil's role.<ref name="ARM160">{{cite book/RH|1|160}}</ref> Despite Virgil's objections that Sheba does not have that unilateral authority, she forces the issue and orders the striking workers to leave the bay.<ref name="ARM160" />
== Notes ==


Before Virgil leaves, Sheba reminds him that Lieutenant Commander [[Apollo (TOS-RH)|Apollo]] saved his life several [[yahren]] prior, leaving Virgil stricken in shame and prompting his exclamation that he could not help his actions.<ref name="ARM161">{{cite book/RH|1|161}}</ref>
* The name "Marialis" is from the Latin, loosely translated in English as "Marian." Typically, "Marialis" is aligned with the [[w:Mariological|Mariological]] studies within the [[w:Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic Church]], c.f. ''[[w:Marialis Cultus|Marialis Cultus]]''. The name is likely derived from this source, in keeping with the [[Original Series]]' tradition of utilizing names from various mythologies.


Upon his return with [[Starbuck (TOS-RH)|Starbuck]] and [[Baltar (TOS-RH)|Baltar]], Apollo orders Jolly to drag Virgil to his duty station "at laser point, if necessary," so that Jolly is able to join in their defense of the Fleet from [[Lucifer (TOS-RH)|Lucifer]]'s imminent attack.<ref name="ARM229" />

* The name "Virgil" is from the Latin, namely attributed to poet [[w:Publius Vergilius Maro|Publius Vergilius Maro]], whose works are responsible for a trinity of poems: the ''[[w:Eclogues|Eclogues]]'', the ''[[w:Georgics|Georgics]]'', and the ''[[w:Aeneid|Aeneid]]''. The name of this character is likely derived from this source, in keeping with the [[Original Series]]' tradition of utilizing names from various mythologies.
