| |
| Lieutenant '''Zac''' is an inexperienced [[Colonial Warrior|Colonial Warrior]] and {{TOS|Viper}} pilot assigned to ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'', which is commanded by his father, Commander {{TOS|Adama}}. He is the youngest of Adama's and [[Ila|Ila]]'s children; his older siblings, [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and {{TOS|Athena}}, are also assigned to ''Galactica''.
| |
|
| |
|
| Despite the lack of experience, Zac has received high marks at the academy, which outstripped even his father's ([[List of Deleted Scenes (TOS)#Saga of a Star World|deleted scene]], "[[Saga of a Star World|Saga of a Star World]]").
| | Youngest biological brother of [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Athena (TOS)|Athena]], son of [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] and [[Ila]], he sacrificed his life for his brother in an attempt to stall the [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raider]] [[phalanx|phalanxes]] from their hidden attack platform, the lunar body [[Cimtar]]. ([[Saga of a Star World]]) |
|
| |
|
| Zac works with [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] to convince his brother, [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]], that Starbuck was too ill to go on patrol, suggesting that Zac take patrol instead. Apollo sees through the ruse and allows Zac to come anyway.
| | Portrayed by [[IMDB-person:Rick Springfield|Rick Springfield]] |
|
| |
|
| On patrol with his brother as Blue Flight Two, Apollo discovers several [[Cylon tanker]]s within a cloud body near the lunar body of [[Cimtar]], which soon leads to a fight with [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raiders]].
| | == Notes == |
|
| |
|
| Zac's Viper is damaged and unable to keep up with his brother. Zac encourages Apollo to go ahead to warn the battlestar fleet of the massive Cylon fighter squadron.
| | * Contemporary of [[Adama, Zak|Zak Adama]] in the [[re-imagining]]. |
|
| |
|
| Zac's fighter falls behind as he is chased by the Cylons. While in sight of the battlestar fleet but with no Vipers scrambled to assist, despite Commander {{TOS|Adama}}'s pleas for fleet defensive measures to President [[Adar (TOS)|Adar]], Zac's Viper is destroyed. This makes him the first known casualty of the [[Battle of Cimtar|decisive, genocidal attack]] on the [[The Twelve Colonies of Man|Twelve Colonies]] {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}.

| *Zac's rank of lieutenant, despite a lack of any real flight experience, may be explained by his high marks at the academy, which are revealed in a [[List of Deleted Scenes (TOS)|deleted scene]].
| |
| *After his brief appearance in the ''Battlestar Galactica'' pilot, actor [[Rick Springfield]] enjoyed stardom in the 1980s in the soap opera ''[[:w:General_Hospital|General Hospital]]'' as well as a recording career.
