Lieutenant '''Louis Hoshi''' is the [[communications officer]] on the [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', and later becomes the communications officer on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' in a similar role as Lieutenant [[Anastasia Dualla]]. During his time aboard ''Pegasus'', he at times carries out duties usually done by the [[tactical officer]].

During the opening salvos of the Cylon attack on the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]], Hoshi is showing Lieutenant [[Kendra Shaw]] to her quarters and explaining the basics of the ship's computer network to her before he is knocked unconscious when ''Pegasus'' is hit. He is later seen back on duty in the CIC when Cain announces the colonies' destruction to the crew. He is also there when Shaw orders the security camera feed pulled up, revealing a dead [[Number Six]] and unmasking [[Gina Inviere]] as a Cylon agent ([[Razor]]).

Hoshi handles the [[wireless]] traffic between ''Pegasus'' and her Vipers during the [[Standoff Between Galactica and Pegasus|stand-off between the two battlestars]] ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]), and between ''Pegasus'' and the strike team during the [[Battle of the Guardian Basestar|attack on the Guardian basestar]], where he also reports the damage control status. He also mans nuclear the launch key station when Commander [[Lee Adama]] prepares a nuclear strike on the basestar (Razor).

With the settlement of [[New Caprica]], Hoshi remains on ''Pegasus'' and is serving in the CIC when the Cylons arrive and force the remaining [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] to abandon the colony ([[Occupation]]). After the destruction of ''Pegasus'', Hoshi is assigned to ''Galactica'''s CIC ([[The Passage]]).

During a standoff with the Cylons above the [[algae planet]], Admiral [[William Adama]] orders Hoshi to arm missile tubes 4 through 10, threatening to destroy the [[Temple of Five]] ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]) with nuclear warheads.

Hoshi takes over Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta]]'s duties when Gaeta joins Captain [[Kara Thrace]]'s search for [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] aboard the ''[[Demetrius]]''. When the [[Cylon Civil War|Cylon rebel]] [[basestar]] found by the ''Demetrius'' jumps to the Fleet without her, he relays Admiral Adama's order to the Fleet to make an [[Emergency jump coordinates|emergency jump]] and announces when the [[Battery|main batteries]] have acquired a firing solution on the baseship ([[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]).

After Lieutenant [[Anastasia Dualla]]'s death, Hoshi replaces her as ''Galactica'''s [[communications officer]] ([[Sometimes a Great Notion]]).

In the webisode series "[[The Face of the Enemy]]", Hoshi is revealed to be in a romantic relationship with [[Felix Gaeta]]. When the Gaeta's [[Raptor]] goes missing en route to the ''[[Zephyr]]'', Hoshi and [[Margaret Edmondson|Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson]] mount a [[SAR]] mission to find him, which they eventually do. Once back aboard ''Galactica'', Gaeta ends their relationship in order to protect Hoshi from any repercussions from his meeting with Admiral Adama.
