: ''For the pilot using the callsign "Stinger" on battlestar [[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]], see [[Stinger (Galactica)]].''

Major '''Cole "Stinger" Taylor''' is the [[CAG]] of the [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]). Like many officers from ''Pegasus'', Taylor is a humorless officer that seems to regard ''[[Galactica]]'s'' officers as if tainted in some way. He feels that Commander [[William Adama|Adama's]] son, [[Lee Adama|Lee]], has been given his CAG responsibilities through his father's influence.

When Adama is transferred to ''Pegasus'' on Admiral [[Helena Cain]]'s orders, Taylor busts Lee Adama's role to a mere [[Raptor]] pilot to accompany him on a recon mission to the [[Resurrection Ship|Unknown Cylon Ship]] ("[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]"). While on the mission tensions break out between ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus''. Under Cain's orders, Taylor relieves Adama at gunpoint. Lee is allowed to go to the back of the Raptor where he secretly contacts [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]], who is aboard the [[Blackbird]] stealth craft and has just returned from her own secret reconnaissance effort of the Unknown Cylon Ship.

Once tensions between the two battlestars temporarily cool, Cain receives a download of Starbuck's recon photos. Inpressed not only by Starbuck's work, but in her brazeness, she promotes Thrace to captain and to the duties of ''Pegasus'' CAG replacing Taylor, who had failed to notice Starbuck and Apollo's scheming behind his back ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]).

==Notes==
*Although he wears a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilot's patch on his right sleeve, [[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]] [[Raptor 861]] was marked with his name when [[Helena Cain|Admiral Cain]] is first flown to [[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]].
