Brett Somers as Siress Belloby

Name: Belloby

Title: Siress

Portrayed By: Brett Somers

Biography

Noted for getting anything she wants, Belloby is a hardened woman on the freighter Gemini who would make the Cylons want to turn back home. She had, much to Adama's dismay, previously met when they were younger. When the Cylons hulled the Agro Ship 9, thus destroying the crops, the Fleet's representatives (Adama, Boomer, Starbuck, and Apollo) needed an unmarked energizer to trade for agricultural seed.

Needless to state, Belloby was the only known person to have an unmarked energizer; the unmarked energizer necessary, so that no one would know who they were.

Of course, she would comply… if Adama would court her. Indeed, Adama found the prospect nauseating, but with no other choice he had to accept. After landing on Sectar and getting to Serenity, Serenity's locals stole her generator from Starbuck and Boomer. After Starbuck had been conned into being Serenity's constable, the Siress found the energizer in a nearby agricultural storehouse.

When the Borays under Boss Nogow's command raided Serenity once more, Belloby was taken prisoner. The quartet of warriors pursued the Borays to their staging camp. After Starbuck makes a risky deal with Nogow -- the Borays can run the town and Nogow could be the constable -- the Colonials received their seed.

Belloby decided to stay on Sectar for what she claims she needs: a real animal. (The Magnificent Warriors)

Notes

We can only presume the "real animal" to be Nogow… however Adama found no problem with that, as his sentence of a living death hath been lifted.

Original Series definition: a title of nobility, typically ascribed to a civilian of the female gender (e.g. Siress Tinia, Siress Blassie)

Galactica 1980 definition:  a power source (see: energizer); Dillon voices his concern that the energizer feeding power to the invisibility field hiding their Vipers needs to be recharged before the ships are rendered visible (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I")
