Lieutenant '''Mei "Freaker" Firelli''' is an officer on ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''. Firelli delivers the complete ''Pegasus'' digital library to Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta|Gaeta]] to replace the data lost during the computer wipe in "[[Flight of the Phoenix]]" ([[Pegasus (Extended Version)|Extended Version]]). He would call action stations upon orders from Admiral [[Helena Cain]] from a tactical console ([[Pegasus]]).

When [[Kara Thrace|Lieutenant Thrace]] returns with the [[Blackbird]] from her reconnaissance mission to the [[Resurrection Ship]], Admiral Cain demanded to know how she managed to get close enough to the skirmish between ''Pegasus'' and ''Galactica'' without being seen, to which he answered with his own surprise ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]).

During the [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship]] he announces the [[Resurrection Ship]]'s destruction in ''Pegasus's'' CIC ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).

Later, his callsign, "Freaker", appears on a pilot duty roster on ''Galactica'', possibly indicating that Firelli has switched careers and is serving on ''Galactica'' now as a pilot ([[Six of One]]).

== Notes ==

* In the original version of "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]", he is not identified by either name or rank, but Gaeta addresses him as "Lieutenant Firelli" in the [[Pegasus (Extended Version)|extended version]] of the episode. This is the only time that he is identified on screen.
* His callsign is from from the episode credits. While he wears pilot wings, he is not seen in the role of pilot.
* His role is not stated, but he mans the tactical console and relays tactical data to the senior officers. Additionally, while Firelli does not appear in "[[Razor]]", [[Jack Fisk]] is seen manning the same station and performing the same functions as Firelli does in "Pegasus". This implies that Firelli was moved to this position after the [[Battle of the Communications Relay]].
* The actor is also credited for "[[The Captain's Hand]]", but it appears that his scenes were cut. [[Abel Thornton]] carries out the role of Tactical Officer during this episode.
* A character named [[Pirelli]] also appears in the ''[[Battlestar Galactica: Pegasus]]'' one shot comic from [[Dynamite Entertainment]], which may be the comic version of this character.
