'''Zee''' is a protege of ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}''{{'|s}} Doctor {{alt|Wilker}}, and developer of the [[temporal weapon]]s reluctantly deployed by a desperate Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS}} in the [[Nebula Ambush]] ({{comics|vol2|1}}).  
Doctor '''Gaius Zee''' is a highly intelligent, yet old Colonial scientist whose consciousness and personality are impressed in the body of a young pre-adolescent boy. Zee comes across as slyly condescending, with a juvenile arrogance and is at odds with Commander [[Adama (1980 alternate)|Adama]], particularly given Adama's distaste for Zee's "experiments" on people. Zee is given his own ship, ''[[Rising Star (TOS)|Rising Star]]''.


Zee's is reputed for his abrasiveness and zeal that results in the irritation of those around him. Wilker explains Zee as a "an old mind in a young body" ({{comics|vol2|1}}).  
During a patrol in 1980 C.E., Troy and Dillon recover the [[Voyager spacecraft|''Voyager'' spacecraft]] launched by [[w:NASA|NASA]] several [[Earth (1980 alternate)|Earth]] years prior. After Doctor Zee deciphers the golden disc on ''Voyager'', they find the location of Earth and discover its inhabitants to be primitive and unable to repel a Cylon invasion, should one occur. During his briefing of the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Quorum of Twelve]], Zee advocates subjugation of the Earth's population in order to protect both the Colonial Fleet and, more importantly, the primitive humans of the Thirteenth Tribe. Zee's recommendation control and forced enhancement of Earth's society and technology are overruled by a vehemently, morally outraged Adama, who advocates peaceful contact with the country that sent the ''Voyager'' craft.  


Despite the feasibility of the [[temporal warper]], {{alt|Starbuck|TOS}} tells Zee that its use isn't worth the risk, leaving Zee sufficiently dejected ({{comics|vol2|5}}).
As a result of Adama's optimism about their Earth brothers, ''Galactica'' is destroyed by a nuclear attack, ultimately proving Zee's point about the Earthlings's primitive nature (''[[Galactica 1980 1]]'').


== Notes ==
{{Characters (Comics)|series=1980}}
 
* Zee's origins are unexplained, particularly as [[Zee]]'s [[The Return of Starbuck|original canonical origin story]] is compromised by {{1980|Starbuck}}'s presence.
