| actor=[[Sebastian Spence]]
}}

'''Jim "Sunshine" Kirby ''' is a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilot on detachment from the [[Valkyrie type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Valkyrie]]''. He is an old friend of [[Coker Fasjovik]], and was thought to be killed after the apparent destruction of the Battlestar at the hands of the Cylons near [[Canceron|Canceron Prime]].

Officially, he is listed as [[KIA]] by the [[Colonial Fleet]]. He sacrificed his past life for an opportunity to strike the Cylons when they least expected it. His wife, Janey, had a baby boy, [[Anslem]], who was named after his father.

He participates in the [[Battle of Djerba]], escorting the ''[[Wild Weasel]]'' down to rendezvous with a marine spec ops team. On the way, three raiders follow them, and Kirby engages, destroying a raider. After his wingman, Lieutenant [[Decklan Elias]], is killed, and his Viper takes damage, Kirby suddenly disengages from battle and claims he's going home. Without ''Osiris'' in orbit, it is unknown how he plans to accomplish this (''[[Blood and Chrome]]'').

}}

'''''Osiris''''' (0913) is an [[Orion Class Battlestar|''Orion'' class Battlestar]]<ref>Designation revealed on the ship's patch.</ref> in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]], belonging to Battlestar Group 54, during the First [[Cylon War]]. It carries a typical crew complement of 150, not counting assigned [[Viper Mark III|Viper]] pilots.

==History==
''Osiris'' is generally believed to have been destroyed in an earlier engagement, when in fact it is part of a Colonial "ghost fleet" hiding in Cylon held space, along with the battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]'', the heavy cruiser ''[[Loki]]'', and other vessels. It is tasked with a combat jump to the ice planet [[Djerba]], a former winter resort moon in [[Sector 12]]. When a [[Basestar_(TRS)#Second_Variant|Cylon basestar]] jumps in nearby, the ship demonstrates possible stealth characteristics that afford it a small window of opportunity to operate within enemy DRADIS range. The ship is eventually detected and [[Battle of Djerba|engaged by]] Cylon [[Raider_(RDM)#Cylon_War-era_Raider|Raiders]] and ship to ship missiles. ''Osiris'' takes heavy damage at the onset of the battle, which destroys its missile launch capabilities. Commander [[Ozar]] makes the decision to ram the ship into the basestar and manually detonate the on-board nuclear warheads instead. ''Osiris'' and the attacking basestar are instantly destroyed with the loss of all hands, minus [[Jim Kirby]] (''[[Blood and Chrome]]'').

==Crew==
*Commander [[Ozar]] - Commanding officer
*Lieutenant [[Decklan Elias]] - Viper pilot
*Lieutenant [[Jim Kirby|Jim "Sunshine" Kirby]] - Viper pilot
* Unnamed tactical officer played by [[Ty Olsson]]
* Unnamed [[Marine]] played by [[Leo Li Chiang]]

Blood and Chrome

2011-08-30T18:10:10Z

Pedda: /* Cast */ +Jill Teed as Commander Ozar

{{spoiler}}
'''''Blood and Chrome''''' is a television pilot (in production as of February, 2011) that follows the exploits of a young [[William Adama]] during the [[Cylon War|First Cylon War]].

''Blood and Chrome'' is a sequel to ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]'' and a prequel to the [[Re-imagined Series]].<ref name=greenlit>[http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/10/22/syfy-greenlights-battlestar-galactica-blood-chrome/69283 Syfy Greenlights "Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome"], ''TV By the Numbers'', October 22, 2010</ref>

According to the initial announcement<ref name="mo_ryan">{{cite_web|url=http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2010/07/battlestar-galactica.html|title=Exclusive: 'Battlestar Galactica' sets up a Young Adama spinoff|date=27 July 2010|accessdate=27 July 2010|last=Ryan|first=Maureen|format=|language=}}</ref> from [[Syfy Channel]]'s executive vice president of programming Mark Stern and ''Blood and Chrome'''s co-producer [[Michael Taylor]], the feature has been greenlit.<ref name=greenlit/>

The plan is for the series to have a two-hour backdoor pilot. <ref name=greenlit/> The pilot's director is [[Jonas Pate]].<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.deadline.com/2010/11/three-drama-pilots-land-directors/|title=Deadline.com: Four Drama Pilots Land Director|date=22 November 2010|accessdate=23 November 2010|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|format=|language=}}</ref>

Depending on the success of this pilot, it may lead to a television series.

As of February 10, 2011, production had begun on the pilot.<ref name=B&CFilmingBegins>[http://blastr.com/2011/02/filming-begins-on-battles.php Blastr.com Article on Production Starting]</ref> Principal photography wrapped at the end of February, and the pilot is currently in extensive post-production.

The pilot is slated to air in late 2011, or early 2012.

== Plot ==

According to Taylor, the series is "about a young man's [William Adama] initiation into war: both the realities of war as fought by soldiers on the ground (and in [[Battlestar (RDM)|Battlestars]] and [[Viper (RDM)|Vipers]]), and the somewhat less real version portrayed in the media."<ref name="mo_ryan"/>

Further, Taylor points out that the scope of the series "isn't confined to ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. Far from it. It's a story that will take us to new corners of the ''Battlestar'' world (or [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|worlds]]), and yet it aims to be a very contemporary war movie in a lot of ways. I would say I'm thinking as much of [[w:Afghanistan|Afghanistan]] and [[w:Iraq|Iraq]]--the reality of ''[[w:The Hurt Locker|[The] Hurt Locker]]'', [[w:Sebastian Junger|Sebastian Junger]]'s ''[[w:Restrepo (film)|Restrepo]]'', and similar movies--as I am about about the largely implied past of ''Battlestar''."<ref name="mo_ryan"/>

''Blood and Chrome'' was also meant to feature adult situations as, according to Taylor, the series will not "[shy] away from R-rated blood and guts and sex" due to it being initially meant for online consumption.<ref name="mo_ryan"/> Given its status as a televised feature, it is possible that the "adult situations" may be retooled to make it appropriate for broadcast with an unrated version appearing on DVD. This was the case with ''[[The Plan]]'', which featured nudity and near-explicit sexual situations.

Blood and Chrome

Pedda: /* Cast */ name of Holmes' role

{{spoiler}}
'''''Blood and Chrome''''' is a television pilot (in production as of February, 2011) that follows the exploits of a young [[William Adama]] during the [[Cylon War|First Cylon War]].

''Blood and Chrome'' is a sequel to ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]'' and a prequel to the [[Re-imagined Series]].<ref name=greenlit>[http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/10/22/syfy-greenlights-battlestar-galactica-blood-chrome/69283 Syfy Greenlights "Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome"], ''TV By the Numbers'', October 22, 2010</ref>

According to the initial announcement<ref name="mo_ryan">{{cite_web|url=http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2010/07/battlestar-galactica.html|title=Exclusive: 'Battlestar Galactica' sets up a Young Adama spinoff|date=27 July 2010|accessdate=27 July 2010|last=Ryan|first=Maureen|format=|language=}}</ref> from [[Syfy Channel]]'s executive vice president of programming Mark Stern and ''Blood and Chrome'''s co-producer [[Michael Taylor]], the feature has been greenlit.<ref name=greenlit/>

The plan is for the series to have a two-hour backdoor pilot. <ref name=greenlit/> The pilot's director is [[Jonas Pate]].<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.deadline.com/2010/11/three-drama-pilots-land-directors/|title=Deadline.com: Four Drama Pilots Land Director|date=22 November 2010|accessdate=23 November 2010|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|format=|language=}}</ref>

Depending on the success of this pilot, it may lead to a television series.

As of February 10, 2011, production had begun on the pilot.<ref name=B&CFilmingBegins>[http://blastr.com/2011/02/filming-begins-on-battles.php Blastr.com Article on Production Starting]</ref>

== Plot ==

According to Taylor, the series is "about a young man's [William Adama] initiation into war: both the realities of war as fought by soldiers on the ground (and in [[Battlestar (RDM)|Battlestars]] and [[Viper (RDM)|Vipers]]), and the somewhat less real version portrayed in the media."<ref name="mo_ryan"/>

Further, Taylor points out that the scope of the series "isn't confined to ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. Far from it. It's a story that will take us to new corners of the ''Battlestar'' world (or [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|worlds]]), and yet it aims to be a very contemporary war movie in a lot of ways. I would say I'm thinking as much of [[w:Afghanistan|Afghanistan]] and [[w:Iraq|Iraq]]--the reality of ''[[w:The Hurt Locker|[The] Hurt Locker]]'', [[w:Sebastian Junger|Sebastian Junger]]'s ''[[w:Restrepo (film)|Restrepo]]'', and similar movies--as I am about about the largely implied past of ''Battlestar''."<ref name="mo_ryan"/>

''Blood and Chrome'' was also meant to feature adult situations as, according to Taylor, the series will not "[shy] away from R-rated blood and guts and sex" due to it being initially meant for online consumption.<ref name="mo_ryan"/> Given its status as a televised feature, it is possible that the "adult situations" may be retooled to make it appropriate for broadcast with an unrated version appearing on DVD.

Further, Taylor points out that the scope of the series "isn't confined to ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. Far from it. It's a story that will take us to new corners of the ''Battlestar'' world (or [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|worlds]]), and yet it aims to be a very contemporary war movie in a lot of ways. I would say I'm thinking as much of [[w:Afghanistan|Afghanistan]] and [[w:Iraq|Iraq]]--the reality of ''[[w:The Hurt Locker|[The] Hurt Locker]]'', [[w:Sebastian Junger|Sebastian Junger]]'s ''[[w:Restrepo (film)|Restrepo]]'', and similar movies--as I am about about the largely implied past of ''Battlestar''."<ref name="mo_ryan"/>

''Blood and Chrome'' was also meant to feature adult situations as, according to Taylor, the series will not "[shy] away from R-rated blood and guts and sex" due to it being initially meant for online consumption.<ref name="mo_ryan"/> Given its status as a televised feature, it is possible that the "adult situations" may be retooled to make it appropriate for broadcast with an unrated version appearing on DVD. This was the case with ''[[The Plan]]'', which featured nudity and near-explicit sexual situations.

Admiral '''William Adama''', a veteran of the [[First Cylon War]], is the commanding officer of the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'', and has the longest tenure as the highest ranking officer in the Colonial Fleet after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].

== Background ==
*William Adama was born in 57-58 BCH on Caprica, the son of [[Joseph Adama|Joseph]] and [[Evelyn Adama]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]") He was named after his [[Willie Adama|deceased half-brother]] and their paternal [[William Adama Sr.|grandfather]] ([[CAP]]: "[[Apotheosis (episode)|Apotheosis]]"). His father was a criminal defense lawyer who later specialized in civil liberties cases, while his mother was an accountant ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]") and Joseph's personal legal assistant ([[CAP]]: "[[Reins of a Waterfall]]"). He was raised in [[Qualai]], a small coastal community ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]").
*The extent of William Adama's knowledge regarding his half-siblings and his father's previous marriage, or his father's involvement with [[Daniel Graystone]] and the creation of the [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylons]], is not known.
* He was still in school at the beginning of the [[Cylon War]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 1). During his childhood, he was considered small for his age and would often be beaten by his peers ([[TRS]]: [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)/Season 3#99|deleted scene]], "[[Exodus, Part II]]").
*Adama served late in the [[Cylon War]] as both a [[Raptor]] and [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilot, his first assignment being on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. His first mission behind enemy lines was in a Raptor undergoing an unknown mission ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 1; "[[Sine Qua Non]]"). He allegedly gained the call sign of "Husker"<ref>Adama's callsign is misspelled as "Husher" in the [[Battlestar Galactica (2005 Novel)|Miniseries novelization]], which is considered a [[BW:SEPCON|separate continuity]] source.</ref> on account of his baritone "graveled" voice. During his time on ''Galactica'', he had a romantic relationship with [[Jaycie McGavin]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]", Episode 1). He proved a gifted pilot, shooting down his first [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] on his very first combat mission, for which he received a commendation ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]", Episode 3; "[[Hero]]").
*In the last week in the war, Adama served on ''[[Galactica]]'' when the battlestar was boarded by Cylon forces. He recalled to his friend [[Saul Tigh]] a dangerous Cylon tactic that tried to turn the battlestar's power against itself ([[TRS]]: "[[Valley of Darkness]]", [[List of Deleted Scenes - Season 2 (RDM)#Valley of Darkness|deleted scene]]).
*Furloughed by [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] after the war's end, Adama found work as a deck hand on a [[Sedulana|merchant fleet civilian freighter]], where he met [[Saul Tigh]], who became a long-time friend ([[TRS]]: "[[Scattered]]", "[[Valley of Darkness]]").
*Adama married [[Carolanne Adama]], whose family had political influence with the defense subcommittee and pulled to get Adama reinstated to the Colonial Fleet. Adama (now a major) himself arranged for Tigh's reinstatement two years later.
*William and Carolanne Adama had two sons, [[Lee Adama|Lee]] and [[Zak Adama|Zak]], before the pressures of Adama's career and the time he spent away from home in active service began to place a strain on their marriage, and the two eventually divorced ([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]], "[[A Day in the Life]]").
*While elder son Lee showed promise as a Viper pilot, younger Zak Adama did not. [[Kara Thrace]], Zak's flight instructor and lover, certified him for basic flight despite his poor flight skills. Later, Zak Adama was killed in an operational flight. Zak's death would cause a rift between Commander Adama and his older son for nearly [[Act of Contrition|three years]] until Thrace admits her error to both of them.
*Adama rose through the ranks of the peacetime fleet, becoming the executive officer of the battlestar ''[[Columbia (RDM)|Columbia]]'', before becoming the commander of the battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]''. About six years <ref name="hero">While dialogue from "[[Hero]]" places these events at 1 BCH, this contradicts previously established dates about the time Adama and others served on ''Galactica''. See [[Hero#Analysis]] for a detailed explanation why ''Battlestar Wiki'' chooses to treat this as a continuity error.</ref> prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], he was ordered by Admiral [[Peter Corman]] to escort a [[Stealthstar|stealth scout ship]] over the [[Armistice Line]]. The mission was a failure, and in an attempt to cover up, he ordered the ship and its pilot shot down. Ever since, he had felt guilt, both over shooting down his own pilot and over the possibility that his actions resulted in the holocaust. According to Tigh, this mission brought his star into descent, and he was given command of ''Galactica'' as a graceful way of easing into retirement.
*Adama has the rare combination of qualities that make up a good leader: insight, the ability to naturally command respect, a common touch that enables him to relate to the enlisted personnel under his command as well as his officers, intuition, intelligence, a strong belief in his own abilities, and the ability to take the advice of others. These qualities are reflected in the fact that personnel of all ranks aboard ''Galactica'' hold him in high regard, and know that he is approachable ([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]]).
*Adama mistrusts politicians, and sometimes places too strongly a value of loyalty to those he regards as family and friends. From his uneasiness to [[Laura Roslin]]'s unexpected assumption of the Presidency, to the tolerance and patience of his friend, Saul Tigh, and [[You Can't Go Home Again|his stubbornness to save Kara Thrace]], Adama shows a dogged determination that few others care to confront.
*Adama does not share the majority of Colonial beliefs in the gods ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor]]"), although he has come to accept that his people's scripture may have relevance to the search for Earth ([[TRS]]: "[[Home, Part II]]").
*Several notable assignments and reassignments during his 45-year career in the Colonial Fleet ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]"):
**D6/21311 - First commission: battlestar ''Galactica'' fighter squadron
**E4/21312 - Commendation for shooting down Cylon fighter in first combat mission
**D5/21314 - Mustered out of service post-armistice
**R6/21317 - Served as deckhand in merchant fleet and as common [...] aboard inter-colony tramp freighters
**D1/21331 - Recommissioned to Fleet
**D6/21337 - Major: battlestar ''[[Atlantia (RDM)|Atlantia]]''
**R8/21341 - Executive Officer: battlestar ''[[Columbia (RDM)|Columbia]]''
**C2/21345 - Commander: battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]''
**C2/21348 - Commander: battlestar ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''

== Character History==

=== Childhood ===

* He was still in school when the First [[Cylon War]] started ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 1). During his childhood, he was considered small for his age and would often be beaten by his peers ([[TRS]]: [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)/Season 3#99|deleted scene]], "[[Exodus, Part II]]").

=== The Fall of the Twelve Colonies ===

[[image:Mini_Adama_Tigh_DRADIS.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Commander Adama and Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] plot a course to [[Ragnar Anchorage]] in the [[Miniseries]].]]

*At the time just prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Fall]], William Adama serves out his final weeks as commander of the battlestar ''[[Galactica]]''. After some 50 years of service, the historic warship is in the process of being decommissioned, and it is one of Adama's final duties to formally hand her over to the [[Colonial Ministry of Education]], which would operate the ship as a living museum and educational center commemorating the [[First Cylon War|original Cylon War]].
*As a retirement gift, several members of [[Galen Tyrol]]'s deck crew find and restore Adama's old [[Viper Mark II]].
*On news of a renewed Cylon attack, Adama's first thoughts are, "Dead. We're all dead" ([[TRS]]: "[[Home, Part II]]"). Despite this, as well as the presumed loss of his [[Carolanne Adama|ex-wife]] in Caprica City, he unhesitatingly takes control of the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] after [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Picon|Picon]] Fleet Headquarters is destroyed and Admiral [[Nagala]] is killed.
*At Ragnar Anchorage, Adama deduces that [[Number Two|Leoben Conoy]]'s "allergies" are really the effect of Ragnar's cloud's electro-magnetic radiation upon the [[silica pathways]] composing a Cylon brain, despite the fact that the existence of [[Humanoid Cylon|biological Cylons]] is presumably unknown to humans at that time.<ref>See [[Miniseries, Analysis#Commander William Adama|Miniseries, Analysis]] for hypotheses concerning Adama's curious ability to quickly deduce Conoy's real nature.</ref>
*Once President Roslin convinces Adama the futility of fighting against overwhelming odds, and with what may be the last 50,000 humans who remain anywhere, he makes the switch to the more tactical thinking that keeps the Colonial Fleet at least one step ahead of their Cylon pursuers.
*From the outset, he is savvy enough to give every single survivor of the devastating attack on the Colonies a reason for hope for the future: the legend of [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]. This falsehood [[Tomb of Athena|comes back to haunt him]] as the weeks continue, as Roslin is aware of this lie to the crew and states this privately to Adama.

=== From the Colonies to Kobol ===

*Adama continues to face the problem of infiltration within the Fleet by [[humanoid Cylon]]s as well as [[Demand Peace|dissenting humans]] who protest or terrorize others in the Fleet. Adama continually redefines the boundaries of military and civil leadership. After some [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II|serious missteps between he and President Roslin]], the two later become friends as well as influential leaders.
*[[Sharon Valerii]], a trusted [[Raptor]] pilot who served with Adama for two years, reveals herself unwittingly as a Cylon sleeper agent and shoots Adama at point blank range after a [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II|critical mission near Kobol]]. Cottle [[Fragged|eventually repairs]] the damage to Adama's body, but Adama's psyche takes the larger hit while he repairs the [[Resistance|damage to the Fleet]] he and Col. Tigh have caused in arresting President Roslin, as well as the existence of a [[Sharon Agathon|second copy of Valerii]].
*While at first Adama takes a similar stance to Tigh in assuming a hard military posture, a conversation with [[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]] helps him realize that, despite the problems, the Fleet is his family, and the family must stay together. After finding the [[Tomb of Athena]] with Roslin and reuniting a [[Laura Roslin faction|factioning of the Fleet]], Adama firmly buries the hatchet between himself and Roslin publicly.
*In a desperate plan, Adama trusts the second Valerii to help [[Flight of the Phoenix|ward off]] a [[Great Cylon Turkey Shoot|massive Cylon fleet]]. Despite his "gut" feelings about the Cylon, he finds common ground often with her, even apologizing to her after a [[Resurrection Ship, Part I|distasteful incident]].

image:Home_pt1-Adama.jpg|Adama paints a model naval ship while talking to [[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Home, Part I]]").
</gallery>

=== ''Pegasus'' ===

*Adama stoically accepts Admiral [[Helena Cain]]'s overall command. Wary of her behavior and her crew, Adama follows his own truism: stick to what you know, until you find something better.
*Matters with Cain's unusually totalitarian command style come to a head when Cain makes [[Pegasus (episode)|several highly questionable orders]] that lead him to face off with her battlestar and her command in a [[Standoff Between Galactica and Pegasus|military challenge]]. While the issue is [[Resurrection Ship, Part I|temporarily defused]], Adama is told by, of all people, President Roslin that Cain is a threat to the safety of the Fleet's citizens and must be eliminated.
*Adama avoids killing Cain after realizing that he would become the monster that the Cylons believed they were, unaware that she has plotted his demise as well.
*With Cain's fate sealed not by Adama but [[Gina Inviere]], a frail President Roslin promotes Adama to Admiral. He gives her a simple, affectionate kiss, which she returns, signifying another change in their turbulent association ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).

=== New Caprica ===

[[Image:Adama being carried Exodus-Pt-II.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Adama being carried by crew and civilians after the [[Battle of New Caprica]] (mid left).]]

*Adama's sense of justice with Roslin holds when he confronts her about [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|a conspiracy]] involving her re-election. Roslin admits the conspiracy but she is certain disaster will strike if [[Gaius Baltar]] becomes president. He agrees, but convinces Roslin that the correct course of action is to acknowledge a miscount and cover the conspiracy.
*When ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' and two other ships blow up as a result of [[Gina Inviere]]'s last effort of sabotage, Adama is privately infuriated at new President Baltar's refusal to investigate, and begins to wonder if he hadn't made a mistake.
*A year later, Adama commands ''Galactica'' manned by a skeleton crew as the flagship of a defense fleet, consisting of all ships unable or unwilling to make planetfall on [[New Caprica]]. He now sports a thick mustache, and has apparently taken up smoking. Adama feel lonely in command after he allowed many people close to him to settle on the planet despite his initial refusal. Eventually he grants [[Saul Tigh]] leave to take his wife [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen]] and go as well. His friendship to [[Laura Roslin]] appears to have deepened and the two share a carefree day during Founders' Day celebrations on the planet, marking the formal ground-breaking of New Caprica City ([[TRS]]: "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]", "[[Unfinished Business]]").
*Shortly after the election, Adama and/or President Baltar commissions Petty Officer Anastasia Dualla a lieutenant (junior grade), skipping the initial commissioned rank of ensign. Aside from pilots, she is the only NCO shown to receive a commission. On the morning after the Founders' Day celebration, Adama approves her transfer to Battlestar ''Pegasus'' to join his son and her lover, Commander Lee Adama.
*During the year in orbit, he mends fences with [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon]]. Although he valued her advise earlier, he called her a "thing" or "it" and treated her such. While becoming estranged from the people around him, Adama grows much closer to Agathon, having personal conversations with her and he allowing her to decorate her cell with chairs, tables and other amenities and she has apparently become an advisor of sorts to him ([[TRS]]: "[[Precipice]]"). He permits [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] to marry her, and she adopts his surname, Agathon, thereby further separating herself from the identical Sharon Valerii who shot Adama.
*With Colonel Tigh released from active duty and beached on New Caprica, Adama promotes Lt. Karl Agathon (Helo) to captain and appoints him Executive Officer of ''Galactica,'' thereby demonstrating both the trust he has in Helo despite the latter's marriage to the Cylon prisoner, and his unwillingness to split families.
*Not long after Tigh leaves, a massive Cylon fleet bears down on New Caprica. After a brief discussion with [[Lee Adama|his son]] aboard ''Pegasus'' they order the understaffed Fleet to escape to pre-arranged Jump coordinates. The admiral issues the jump order with a reminder: "We're leaving... but we'll be back."
* Frustrations over the lack of a plan and problems during exercises lead to a conflict with his son whom he attacks over his weight gain and perceived softness. While Lee is pragmatic and doesn't believe that they can rescue the people on New Caprica in their state, his father drives everyone to their limit, thinking it is his misjudgments that brought them into the situation.
*He only forgives himself for leaving almost everyone behind after a conversation with Agathon, where she explains that, after being through so much herself, she discovered that she first had to forgive herself in order to get through it. In her opinion, the human race can't survive if Adama can't forgive himself.
*He commissions Agathon as a Colonial officer shortly after making contact with the [[New Caprica Resistance]], showing complete trust in her. She asks how he knows that she won't betray him and he replies he doesn't, stating "that's what trust is." Eventually a rescue plan takes shape, but Adama decides to go to New Caprica alone, ordering his son to take over as guardian of the Fleet should he not return. Despite their differences of opinion, the two have a heartfelt goodbye.
*Although sustaining losses, and with the last-minute assistance of Lee and ''Pegasus'', Adama is able to [[Battle of New Caprica|successfully pull off the rescue attempt]]. He is lauded by his crew and the civilians for this. He also shaves off his mustache, signifying a new beginning ([[TRS]]: "[[Occupation]]" through "[[Exodus, Part II]]").

=== Flight from New Caprica to "Maelstrom" ===
*Adama is awarded the [[Medal of Distinction]] for his 45 years of distinctive service in the Colonial Fleet. To him this is a penance for the harm that he caused in the past, and his belief that he might have been the cause of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]").
*In an effort to alleviate tensions on ''Galactica'', Adama [[Unfinished Business|holds a boxing tournament]], disregarding rank, allowing people to work out built up frustrations. He himself joins the festivities by challenging Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]]. Beaten, he declares that he let everyone too close to him, which ultimately led to the fracturing of their family on New Caprica, and vows to not make that mistake again.
*After the discovery of the [[Temple of Five]] on the [[algae planet]], four Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] jump into orbit. A meeting with the Cylons occurs on ''Galactica'', but Adama threatens to nuke the planet should the Cylons make a claim to it. A standoff occurs, and when the Cylons try to launch six Heavy Raiders, Adama orders the arming the ship's [[missile tubes]]. This frightens the Cylons, who recall five of the six and Adama orders a stand down ([[TRS]]: "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", "[[Rapture]]").
*With the capture of [[Gaius Baltar]], Adama and President Roslin are faced with a dilemma of what to do with Baltar. They try various methods of interrogation, including food and sleep deprivation, threats, and even an [[interrogation drug]], to find out what the Cylons know about the location of Earth. Adama apparently has previous experience with the drug and, after suggesting its use, acts as the interrogator, showing his darker side ([[TRS]]: "[[Taking a Break From All Your Worries]]").
*On his wedding anniversary, Adama is plagued by memories of his [[Carolanne Adama|ex-wife]]. He wonders about the nature of his relationship to Roslin, not admitting that it could turn into a romantic one. He is also unsure how to treat his son, having a hard time telling him his personal feelings: "proud, stubborn and angry", but "coming into his own". While loving his son, he prefers to interact with him as an admiral to a subordinate officer, believing Lee knows how he feels. Upon Roslin's recommendations, he offers his son to organize Baltar's upcoming trial. Although not sure if Lee will have the time, he gives him [[Joseph Adama]]'s old [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies#Law books|law books]]. It is also revealed that Adama does memory exercises to enable him to know everyone on his crew by name ([[TRS]]: "[[A Day in the Life]]").

=== [[Kara Thrace]]'s death, resurrection and the final leg of the journey to Earth ===
* By chance, Adama is selected to be a judge at the trial. Two weeks after [[Kara Thrace]]'s [[Maelstrom|death]] he is still distraught, having considered her as a daughter—after her resurection/return/rebirth, he tells her, "You are my daughter" ([[TRS]]: "[[Daybreak, Part I]]"). In anger, he breaks his model ship. Adama places [[Lee Adama|Lee]] in charge of security for [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]]'s new lawyer, [[Romo Lampkin]], but Lee develops a desire to actively help defend Baltar much to Adama's outrage. The two also come to blows over their dealing with Thrace's loss ([[TRS]]: "[[The Son Also Rises]]"). This results in a break between the father and son, with Lee resigning his commission and Adama questioning his son's integrity after Lee contributed to humiliating his friend [[Saul Tigh]] in court, not able to understand how he could do such things in order to defend a traitor, whom he believes is undeserving of a trial ([[TRS]]: "[[Crossroads, Part I]]").
*Adama reconsiders his relationship with his son after Lee's [[Crossroads, Part II#Noteworthy Dialogue|impassioned speech]] about justice, itself swaying his vote in favor of an acquittal of Baltar. He is further pleased that his son participated in the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]], offering him his wings back, which Lee refuses as he believes that he can do better in his new role as the new [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum]] delegate from [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Crossroads, Part II]]", "[[He That Believeth In Me]]").
* Adama comforts Laura Roslin throughout her [[Doloxan]] treatments on ''Galactica''. The two bond further and share some of their most intimate thoughts. During this, Roslin manages to convince Adama that they will truly find Earth despite his earlier skepticism. Roslin's remarks that Adama is afraid to lose people close to him hit a mark, and he gives Thrace command of the ''[[Demetrius]]'' on a mission to search for Earth. He wants to believe in her despite serious questions regarding her sudden resurrection, even after her attack on Roslin ([[TRS]]: "[[He That Believeth In Me]]", "[[Six of One]]").
*Adama and Roslin later discuss Lee's choices, including his decision to support the right of Baltar's [[Cult of Baltar|cult]] to assemble without stricture. Adama seems to appreciate his son's idealism to a certain extent, despite having been on its opposing side several times. He also attempts to comfort Galen Tyrol after Cally's [[The Ties That Bind|sudden death]], but Tyrol rejects the efforts and Adama demotes him to specialist before Tyrol can endanger any other pilots ([[TRS]]: "[[Escape Velocity]]").
* While Roslin continues her Doloxan treatments aboard ship, he continues to comfort her by reading various books, including ''[[Searider Falcon]]'', to her and generally being present to discuss matters of faith. He later admits to her that she is the reason why he has faith in their mission to find Earth ([[TRS]]: "[[Escape Velocity]]", "[[Faith]]").
[[Image:410 Adama sees the Fleet off.jpg|thumb|William Adama sees the Fleet off.]]
* After [[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?|Roslin's abrupt abduction]] by the rebel Cylon baseship, as well as [[Sharon Agathon]]'s murder of [[Natalie Faust]], he initiates a search for Roslin while ignoring the Fleet's safety and interests. His dismissal of both the Quorum and [[Tom Zarek]] raise tensions in the Fleet that force his son to search for—and become—the interim president in Roslin's place. Further, tensions between Adama and Tigh to boil, notably after Dr. [[Sherman Cottle]] reports that [[Caprica Six]] is impregnated by Tigh. The two come to blows over their decisions regarding the women currently in their lives. Adama admits that he can't live without Roslin and decides to stay behind in a Raptor to wait for Roslin's return. As a result, he hands command of the Fleet over to newly-promoted Admiral Tigh, acknowledging that Tigh has become more knowledgeable about himself and is not the same man who [[Scattered|commanded the Fleet disastrously]] over two years ago ([[TRS]]: "[[Sine Qua Non]]"). After reconnecting with the missing basestar and reuniting with President Roslin on the hangar deck of the basestar, she finally admits having feelings for him, to which he replies, "About time" ([[TRS]]: "[[The Hub]]").
*When [[Saul Tigh]] confesses that he is a Cylon, [[Revelations|Adama doesn't take it well]]. He can't believe that his decades-long friend is a Cylon and thinks that he was brainwashed on New Caprica. After ordering Marines to arrest Tigh, Adama breaks down in his quarters, hitting a mirror with his fist and sobbing on the floor. His son finds him in this state and tries to get him to pull himself together.

=== Discovery of Earth ===
*After Lee Adama defuses the following crisis with the [[Cylon Civil War|Cylon rebels]], Adama has sufficiently recovered to lead the Fleet on its final jump to Earth, holding a rousing speech [[Revelations|after the arrival]].
* Unfortunately, when the Colonials land on Earth, they discover that the whole planet is a burnt out wasteland ([[TRS]]: "[[Revelations]]"). Baltar confirms that the planet suffered a nuclear holocaust 2000 years ago. There is still enough radiation left to make the planet uninhabitable. Adama leaves the planet's surface in disgust.
* Back on ''Galactica'', Adama receives even more disturbing news. The Rebel Cylons have found evidence on Earth that the Thirteenth Tribe were not human. They were Cylons.
* Adama tries to get Roslin to address the Fleet, but Roslin has completely lost faith in the Scriptures and no longer has the will to lead the people.
* After Dualla commits suicide, Adama breaks down in tears over her body and believes he's failed everyone. He starts drinking excessively and eventually makes his way to Saul Tigh's quarters.
* Tigh tries to apologize for not telling him the truth, but Adama ignores him and instead starts drinking more and insulting Tigh. He questions whether Tigh was "programmed" to be his friend all these years. Adama then comments that Ellen must have realized the truth about her husband long before he did, which is why she slept around with half the Colonial Fleet. Tigh tells him to shut up, but Adama keeps goading him. Tigh finally can't take it anymore and points his pistol at Adama. Adama draws his own weapon which he points to his own head. He tells Tigh to kill him or he'll do it himself.
* Tigh suddenly realizes that Adama wants to die, but he doesn't have the guts to pull the trigger himself. Tigh calms down and sternly tells Adama that he still has a duty to this ship and that his death won't make things any better. Adama slowly comes to terms with everything that has happened.
* Later, Adama walks onto CIC and addresses a thoroughly demoralized crew. He acknowledges that they can't stay on Earth, but he promises they will find a new home. Adama then orders the CIC personnel to begin jump preparation and to plot a course for an area of space likely to contain a habitable planet. He reinstates Tigh to his rank and posting, despite the latter's Cylon nature.

=== Mutiny ===
* Adama approves an alliance between rebel Cylon faction without the consent of the Quorum of Twelve. These Cylons are given them full colonial citizenship an Quorum seat in exchange for Cylon technology and accepting the colonial command structure.
* Adama integrates the Cylon heavy raiders (piloted by humanoid Cylons who thus can communicate directly with the humans) into ''Galactica''’s combat air patrols (CAPs), their Six and Eight pilots assigned to Colonial squadrons.
* Adama orders the fleet to allow Cylons to install their more efficient technology aboard the various ships of the Fleet ([[TRS]]: "[[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]").
* This unpopular decision ferments a [[Gaeta's Mutiny|mutiny attempt]] led militarily by [[Felix Gaeta]] and politically by [[Tom Zarek]].
* Adama is ''de facto'' removed from command, but before he is taken out of the CIC, Adama speaks of a reckoning of traitors.
* The admiral is able to escape the rebels temporary, and helps Laura Roslin and Baltar escape to the Cylon Basestar, but is recaptured in doing so ([[TRS]]: "[[The Oath]]", "[[Blood on the Scales]]").
* Against the advise of Tom Zarek, Gaeta attempts to have an informal trial of Adama charging him with treason.
* Adama is sentenced to death by Gaeta, but again evades death after a group of loyalists save him. His own executioners join him in his quest to retake the ship and he storms CIC with the group that rescued him, the marines who were supposed to execute him and many crew members who join up with him on the way.
* Gaeta attempts to jump away with the fleet, but is stopped by a large group of loyalists storming the CIC and reinstating Adama in command. Gaeta surrenders without a fight and Adama has him and Zarek executed by a firing squad that he personally commands ([[TRS]]: "[[Blood on the Scales]]").

=== Post-Mutiny and the second Earth ===
* With crew sizes stretched very thin, Adama is relying even more on the rebel Cylons, and further integrating the Fleet.
* ''Galactica'' begins to show small fractures through the ship. Tyrol recommends to Adama to use Cylon technology to fix these fractures. Adama initially disagrees, but eventually orders this to be done ([[TRS]]: "[[No Exit]]", "[[Deadlock]]").
*The increased presence of Cylons aboard ''Galactica'' leads to Adama and Roslin viewing them even more as the same as humans, when they realise that Cylons have taken to placing photographs of their own lost companions in the remembrance hall.
* Further damage to the ship caused by Boomer's FTL jump leads Adama to order ''Galactica'''s abandonment ([[TRS]]: "[[Someone to Watch Over Me]]", "[[Islanded in a Stream of Stars]]").
* Adama changes his mind, after discovering [[The Colony|the location]] of [[Hera Agathon]]. He plans to send the ship off in a blaze of glory in a volunteers-only apparent [[Battle of the Colony|suicide mission]] to rescue the child ([[TRS]]: "[[Daybreak, Part II]]").
* Adama rejects two volunteers: Doctor (Major) [[Sherman Cottle]] is needed by the civilian populace. Adama brevets Lt. [[Louis Hoshi]] to rear admiral and appoints him to command of the rest of the Fleet from the Cylon Basestar under appointed Acting President Romo Lampkin.
* Adama and the volunteers successfully save Hera and destroy the Colony. With the Colony detonating around them, Adama orders [[Kara Thrace]] to [[blind jump]] the ship away, without giving time to draw in the ship's Flight Pods. The ship ends up at a habitable planet, with it's structual integrity totally compromised and it's ability to Jump gone forever.
* Finding the planet habitable and sparcely populated by inexplicedly genetically compatable humans, Adama suggests it be named Earth to take the place of the planet they had long sought.
* The Fleet reunites with ''Galactica''. Adama reluctantly agrees to Lee's proto-ludite settlement plans for the new planet, and orders that the ships of the Fleet be flown into the sun by [[Samuel Anders]] (less the Cylon Basestar which the humanoid Cylons give to the Centurions with which to make their own destiny).
* He flies off in a Raptor with Roslin to find a good place to build a cabin, never planning to return and finds the perfect spot... moments after Laura Roslin dies peacefully of her cancer, after which he places his wedding ring on her finger.
*He builds a cabin in a mountain range for himself, and buries Roslin nearby. Afterwards, he lives in solitude in the cabin, often visiting Laura's grave and speaking to her ([[TRS]]: "[[Daybreak, Part II]]").

== Family tree ==
{{Adama Family Tree (RDM)}}

==Notes==
*[[Wikipedia:Adama|Adama]] (also known as Nazareth) is the name of a large city in Ethiopia. The name is also a variation on "[[Wikipedia:Adam and Eve|Adam]]," the first man to be created according to the Bible in the [[Wikipedia:Genesis|Book of Genesis]]. In Hebrew the word pronounced "Adama" means earth.
*The Tauron language is portrayed on the show using Ancient Greek. Thus, the most likely etymology for the family name "Adama" is from ''adamas'' (ἀδάμας), which means invincible and is the etymological root of the word ''diamond''. It seems a suitable choice as the surname of the various related characters in this series as it relates to their personality traits.
*Edward James Olmos has brown eyes, but he wears contacts when playing William Adama that make Adama's eyes blue. This is done so that Olmos and [[Jamie Bamber]], who is playing his son Apollo, will resemble each other more.
*Astute viewers may recall Edward James Olmos sharing the screen with realistic humanoid robots as [[w:List of minor characters in Blade Runner#Gaff|Gaff]] in the classic science fiction film ''[[w:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]]'', which also used the term "skin job" as a pejorative to denote the artificial humanoids.
*Olmos also shares with ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' star [[MemoryAlpha:William Shatner|William Shatner]] the distinction of being one of only two actors to both command a television starship and portray a police officer in a popular 1980's cop show (''[[w:Miami Vice|Miami Vice]]'' for Olmos, ''[[w:T.J. Hooker|T.J. Hooker]]'' for Shatner), as a regularly credited actor on each show.
*Edward James Olmos is the father of actor [[Bodie Olmos]], who plays [[Brendan Costanza]].
*Roslin has [[Billy Keikeya]] seek out a jeweler to fashion new admiral pins for Adama after Cain's death at the end of "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]".

Admiral '''William Adama''', a veteran of the [[First Cylon War]], is the commanding officer of the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'', and has the longest tenure as the highest ranking officer in the Colonial Fleet after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].

== Background ==
*William Adama was born in 57-58 BCH on Caprica, the son of [[Joseph Adama|Joseph]] and [[Evelyn Adama]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]") He was named after his [[Willie Adama|deceased half-brother]] and their paternal [[William Adama Sr.|grandfather]] ([[CAP]]: "[[Apotheosis (episode)|Apotheosis]]"). His father was a criminal defense lawyer who later specialized in civil liberties cases, while his mother was an accountant ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]") and Joseph's personal legal assistant ([[CAP]]: "[[Reins of a Waterfall]]"). He was raised in [[Qualai]], a small coastal community ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]").
*The extent of William Adama's knowledge regarding his half-siblings and his father's previous marriage, or his father's involvement with [[Daniel Graystone]] and the creation of the [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylons]], is not known.
* He was still in school at the beginning of the [[Cylon War]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 1). During his childhood, he was considered small for his age and would often be beaten by his peers ([[TRS]]: [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)/Season 3#99|deleted scene]], "[[Exodus, Part II]]").
*Adama served late in the [[Cylon War]] as both a [[Raptor]] and [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilot, his first assignment being on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. His first mission behind enemy lines was in a Raptor undergoing an unknown mission ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 1; "[[Sine Qua Non]]"). He allegedly gained the call sign of "Husker"<ref>Adama's callsign is misspelled as "Husher" in the [[Battlestar Galactica (2005 Novel)|Miniseries novelization]], which is considered a [[BW:SEPCON|separate continuity]] source.</ref> on account of his baritone "graveled" voice. During his time on ''Galactica'', he had a romantic relationship with [[Jaycie McGavin]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]", Episode 1). He proved a gifted pilot, shooting down his first [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] on his very first combat mission, for which he received a commendation ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]", Episode 3; "[[Hero]]").
*In the last week in the war, Adama served on ''[[Galactica]]'' when the battlestar was boarded by Cylon forces. He recalled to his friend [[Saul Tigh]] a dangerous Cylon tactic that tried to turn the battlestar's power against itself ([[TRS]]: "[[Valley of Darkness]]", [[List of Deleted Scenes - Season 2 (RDM)#Valley of Darkness|deleted scene]]).
*Furloughed by [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] after the war's end, Adama found work as a deck hand on a [[Sedulana|merchant fleet civilian freighter]], where he met [[Saul Tigh]], who became a long-time friend ([[TRS]]: "[[Scattered]]", "[[Valley of Darkness]]").
*Adama married [[Carolanne Adama]], whose family had political influence with the defense subcommittee and pulled to get Adama reinstated to the Colonial Fleet. Adama (now a major) himself arranged for Tigh's reinstatement two years later.
*William and Carolanne Adama had two sons, [[Lee Adama|Lee]] and [[Zak Adama|Zak]], before the pressures of Adama's career and the time he spent away from home in active service began to place a strain on their marriage, and the two eventually divorced ([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]], "[[A Day in the Life]]").
*While elder son Lee showed promise as a Viper pilot, younger Zak Adama did not. [[Kara Thrace]], Zak's flight instructor and lover, certified him for basic flight despite his poor flight skills. Later, Zak Adama was killed in an operational flight. Zak's death would cause a rift between Commander Adama and his older son for nearly [[Act of Contrition|three years]] until Thrace admits her error to both of them.
*Adama rose through the ranks of the peacetime fleet, becoming the executive officer of the battlestar ''[[Columbia (RDM)|Columbia]]'', before becoming the commander of the battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]''. About six years <ref name="hero">While dialogue from "[[Hero]]" places these events at 1 BCH, this contradicts previously established dates about the time Adama and others served on ''Galactica''. See [[Hero#Analysis]] for a detailed explanation why ''Battlestar Wiki'' chooses to treat this as a continuity error.</ref> prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], he was ordered by Admiral [[Peter Corman]] to escort a [[Stealthstar|stealth scout ship]] over the [[Armistice Line]]. The mission was a failure, and in an attempt to cover up, he ordered the ship and its pilot shot down. Ever since, he had felt guilt, both over shooting down his own pilot and over the possibility that his actions resulted in the holocaust. According to Tigh, this mission brought his star into descent, and he was given command of ''Galactica'' as a graceful way of easing into retirement.
*Adama has the rare combination of qualities that make up a good leader: insight, the ability to naturally command respect, a common touch that enables him to relate to the enlisted personnel under his command as well as his officers, intuition, intelligence, a strong belief in his own abilities, and the ability to take the advice of others. These qualities are reflected in the fact that personnel of all ranks aboard ''Galactica'' hold him in high regard, and know that he is approachable ([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]]).
*Adama mistrusts politicians, and sometimes places too strongly a value of loyalty to those he regards as family and friends. From his uneasiness to [[Laura Roslin]]'s unexpected assumption of the Presidency, to the tolerance and patience of his friend, Saul Tigh, and [[You Can't Go Home Again|his stubbornness to save Kara Thrace]], Adama shows a dogged determination that few others care to confront.
*Adama does not share the majority of Colonial beliefs in the gods ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor]]"), although he has come to accept that his people's scripture may have relevance to the search for Earth ([[TRS]]: "[[Home, Part II]]").
*Several notable assignments and reassignments during his 45-year career in the Colonial Fleet ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]"):
**D6/21311 - First commission: battlestar ''Galactica'' fighter squadron
**E4/21312 - Commendation for shooting down Cylon fighter in first combat mission
**D5/21314 - Mustered out of service post-armistice
**R6/21317 - Served as deckhand in merchant fleet and as common [...] aboard inter-colony tramp freighters
**D1/21331 - Recommissioned to Fleet
**D6/21337 - Major: battlestar ''[[Atlantia (RDM)|Atlantia]]''
**R8/21341 - Executive Officer: battlestar ''[[Columbia (RDM)|Columbia]]''
**C2/21345 - Commander: battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]''
**C2/21348 - Commander: battlestar ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''

== Character History==

=== Childhood ===

* He was still in school when the First [[Cylon War]] started ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 1). During his childhood, he was considered small for his age and would often be beaten by his peers ([[TRS]]: [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)/Season 3#99|deleted scene]], "[[Exodus, Part II]]").

=== The Fall of the Twelve Colonies ===

[[image:Mini_Adama_Tigh_DRADIS.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Commander Adama and Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] plot a course to [[Ragnar Anchorage]] in the [[Miniseries]].]]

*At the time just prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Fall]], William Adama serves out his final weeks as commander of the battlestar ''[[Galactica]]''. After some 50 years of service, the historic warship is in the process of being decommissioned, and it is one of Adama's final duties to formally hand her over to the [[Colonial Ministry of Education]], which would operate the ship as a living museum and educational center commemorating the [[First Cylon War|original Cylon War]].
*As a retirement gift, several members of [[Galen Tyrol]]'s deck crew find and restore Adama's old [[Viper Mark II]].
*On news of a renewed Cylon attack, Adama's first thoughts are, "Dead. We're all dead" ([[TRS]]: "[[Home, Part II]]"). Despite this, as well as the presumed loss of his [[Carolanne Adama|ex-wife]] in Caprica City, he unhesitatingly takes control of the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] after [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Picon|Picon]] Fleet Headquarters is destroyed and Admiral [[Nagala]] is killed.
*At Ragnar Anchorage, Adama deduces that [[Number Two|Leoben Conoy]]'s "allergies" are really the effect of Ragnar's cloud's electro-magnetic radiation upon the [[silica pathways]] composing a Cylon brain, despite the fact that the existence of [[Humanoid Cylon|biological Cylons]] is presumably unknown to humans at that time.<ref>See [[Miniseries, Analysis#Commander William Adama|Miniseries, Analysis]] for hypotheses concerning Adama's curious ability to quickly deduce Conoy's real nature.</ref>
*Once President Roslin convinces Adama the futility of fighting against overwhelming odds, and with what may be the last 50,000 humans who remain anywhere, he makes the switch to the more tactical thinking that keeps the Colonial Fleet at least one step ahead of their Cylon pursuers.
*From the outset, he is savvy enough to give every single survivor of the devastating attack on the Colonies a reason for hope for the future: the legend of [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]. This falsehood [[Tomb of Athena|comes back to haunt him]] as the weeks continue, as Roslin is aware of this lie to the crew and states this privately to Adama.

=== From the Colonies to Kobol ===

*Adama continues to face the problem of infiltration within the Fleet by [[humanoid Cylon]]s as well as [[Demand Peace|dissenting humans]] who protest or terrorize others in the Fleet. Adama continually redefines the boundaries of military and civil leadership. After some [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II|serious missteps between he and President Roslin]], the two later become friends as well as influential leaders.
*[[Sharon Valerii]], a trusted [[Raptor]] pilot who served with Adama for two years, reveals herself unwittingly as a Cylon sleeper agent and shoots Adama at point blank range after a [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II|critical mission near Kobol]]. Cottle [[Fragged|eventually repairs]] the damage to Adama's body, but Adama's psyche takes the larger hit while he repairs the [[Resistance|damage to the Fleet]] he and Col. Tigh have caused in arresting President Roslin, as well as the existence of a [[Sharon Agathon|second copy of Valerii]].
*While at first Adama takes a similar stance to Tigh in assuming a hard military posture, a conversation with [[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]] helps him realize that, despite the problems, the Fleet is his family, and the family must stay together. After finding the [[Tomb of Athena]] with Roslin and reuniting a [[Laura Roslin faction|factioning of the Fleet]], Adama firmly buries the hatchet between himself and Roslin publicly.
*In a desperate plan, Adama trusts the second Valerii to help [[Flight of the Phoenix|ward off]] a [[Great Cylon Turkey Shoot|massive Cylon fleet]]. Despite his "gut" feelings about the Cylon, he finds common ground often with her, even apologizing to her after a [[Resurrection Ship, Part I|distasteful incident]].

=== ''Pegasus'' ===

*Adama stoically accepts Admiral [[Helena Cain]]'s overall command. Wary of her behavior and her crew, Adama follows his own truism: stick to what you know, until you find something better.
*Matters with Cain's unusually totalitarian command style come to a head when Cain makes [[Pegasus (episode)|several highly questionable orders]] that lead him to face off with her battlestar and her command in a [[Standoff Between Galactica and Pegasus|military challenge]]. While the issue is [[Resurrection Ship, Part I|temporarily defused]], Adama is told by, of all people, President Roslin that Cain is a threat to the safety of the Fleet's citizens and must be eliminated.
*Adama avoids killing Cain after realizing that he would become the monster that the Cylons believed they were, unaware that she has plotted his demise as well.
*With Cain's fate sealed not by Adama but [[Gina Inviere]], a frail President Roslin promotes Adama to Admiral. He gives her a simple, affectionate kiss, which she returns, signifying another change in their turbulent association ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).

=== New Caprica ===

[[Image:Adama being carried Exodus-Pt-II.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Adama being carried by crew and civilians after the [[Battle of New Caprica]] (mid left).]]

*Adama's sense of justice with Roslin holds when he confronts her about [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|a conspiracy]] involving her re-election. Roslin admits the conspiracy but she is certain disaster will strike if [[Gaius Baltar]] becomes president. He agrees, but convinces Roslin that the correct course of action is to acknowledge a miscount and cover the conspiracy.
*When ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' and two other ships blow up as a result of [[Gina Inviere]]'s last effort of sabotage, Adama is privately infuriated at new President Baltar's refusal to investigate, and begins to wonder if he hadn't made a mistake.
*A year later, Adama commands ''Galactica'' manned by a skeleton crew as the flagship of a defense fleet, consisting of all ships unable or unwilling to make planetfall on [[New Caprica]]. He now sports a thick mustache, and has apparently taken up smoking. Adama feel lonely in command after he allowed many people close to him to settle on the planet despite his initial refusal. Eventually he grants [[Saul Tigh]] leave to take his wife [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen]] and go as well. His friendship to [[Laura Roslin]] appears to have deepened and the two share a carefree day during Founders' Day celebrations on the planet, marking the formal ground-breaking of New Caprica City ([[TRS]]: "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]", "[[Unfinished Business]]").
*Shortly after the election, Adama and/or President Baltar commissions Petty Officer Anastasia Dualla a lieutenant (junior grade), skipping the initial commissioned rank of ensign. Aside from pilots, she is the only NCO shown to receive a commission. On the morning after the Founders' Day celebration, Adama approves her transfer to Battlestar ''Pegasus'' to join his son and her lover, Commander Lee Adama.
*During the year in orbit, he mends fences with [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon]]. Although he valued her advise earlier, he called her a "thing" or "it" and treated her such. While becoming estranged from the people around him, Adama grows much closer to Agathon, having personal conversations with her and he allowing her to decorate her cell with chairs, tables and other amenities and she has apparently become an advisor of sorts to him ([[TRS]]: "[[Precipice]]"). He permits [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] to marry her, and she adopts his surname, Agathon, thereby further separating herself from the identical Sharon Valerii who shot Adama.
*With Colonel Tigh released from active duty and beached on New Caprica, Adama promotes Lt. Karl Agathon (Helo) to captain and appoints him Executive Officer of ''Galactica,'' thereby demonstrating both the trust he has in Helo despite the latter's marriage to the Cylon prisoner, and his unwillingness to split families.
*Not long after Tigh leaves, a massive Cylon fleet bears down on New Caprica. After a brief discussion with [[Lee Adama|his son]] aboard ''Pegasus'' they order the understaffed Fleet to escape to pre-arranged Jump coordinates. The admiral issues the jump order with a reminder: "We're leaving... but we'll be back."
* Frustrations over the lack of a plan and problems during exercises lead to a conflict with his son whom he attacks over his weight gain and perceived softness. While Lee is pragmatic and doesn't believe that they can rescue the people on New Caprica in their state, his father drives everyone to their limit, thinking it is his misjudgments that brought them into the situation.
*He only forgives himself for leaving almost everyone behind after a conversation with Agathon, where she explains that, after being through so much herself, she discovered that she first had to forgive herself in order to get through it. In her opinion, the human race can't survive if Adama can't forgive himself.
*He commissions Agathon as a Colonial officer shortly after making contact with the [[New Caprica Resistance]], showing complete trust in her. She asks how he knows that she won't betray him and he replies he doesn't, stating "that's what trust is." Eventually a rescue plan takes shape, but Adama decides to go to New Caprica alone, ordering his son to take over as guardian of the Fleet should he not return. Despite their differences of opinion, the two have a heartfelt goodbye.
*Although sustaining losses, and with the last-minute assistance of Lee and ''Pegasus'', Adama is able to [[Battle of New Caprica|successfully pull off the rescue attempt]]. He is lauded by his crew and the civilians for this. He also shaves off his mustache, signifying a new beginning ([[TRS]]: "[[Occupation]]" through "[[Exodus, Part II]]").

=== Flight from New Caprica to "Maelstrom" ===
*Adama is awarded the [[Medal of Distinction]] for his 45 years of distinctive service in the Colonial Fleet. To him this is a penance for the harm that he caused in the past, and his belief that he might have been the cause of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]").
*In an effort to alleviate tensions on ''Galactica'', Adama [[Unfinished Business|holds a boxing tournament]], disregarding rank, allowing people to work out built up frustrations. He himself joins the festivities by challenging Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]]. Beaten, he declares that he let everyone too close to him, which ultimately led to the fracturing of their family on New Caprica, and vows to not make that mistake again.
*After the discovery of the [[Temple of Five]] on the [[algae planet]], four Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] jump into orbit. A meeting with the Cylons occurs on ''Galactica'', but Adama threatens to nuke the planet should the Cylons make a claim to it. A standoff occurs, and when the Cylons try to launch six Heavy Raiders, Adama orders the arming the ship's [[missile tubes]]. This frightens the Cylons, who recall five of the six and Adama orders a stand down ([[TRS]]: "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", "[[Rapture]]").
*With the capture of [[Gaius Baltar]], Adama and President Roslin are faced with a dilemma of what to do with Baltar. They try various methods of interrogation, including food and sleep deprivation, threats, and even an [[interrogation drug]], to find out what the Cylons know about the location of Earth. Adama apparently has previous experience with the drug and, after suggesting its use, acts as the interrogator, showing his darker side ([[TRS]]: "[[Taking a Break From All Your Worries]]").
*On his wedding anniversary, Adama is plagued by memories of his [[Carolanne Adama|ex-wife]]. He wonders about the nature of his relationship to Roslin, not admitting that it could turn into a romantic one. He is also unsure how to treat his son, having a hard time telling him his personal feelings: "proud, stubborn and angry", but "coming into his own". While loving his son, he prefers to interact with him as an admiral to a subordinate officer, believing Lee knows how he feels. Upon Roslin's recommendations, he offers his son to organize Baltar's upcoming trial. Although not sure if Lee will have the time, he gives him [[Joseph Adama]]'s old [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies#Law books|law books]]. It is also revealed that Adama does memory exercises to enable him to know everyone on his crew by name ([[TRS]]: "[[A Day in the Life]]").

=== [[Kara Thrace]]'s death, resurrection and the final leg of the journey to Earth ===
* By chance, Adama is selected to be a judge at the trial. Two weeks after [[Kara Thrace]]'s [[Maelstrom|death]] he is still distraught, having considered her as a daughter—after her resurection/return/rebirth, he tells her, "You are my daughter" ([[TRS]]: "[[Daybreak, Part I]]"). In anger, he breaks his model ship. Adama places [[Lee Adama|Lee]] in charge of security for [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]]'s new lawyer, [[Romo Lampkin]], but Lee develops a desire to actively help defend Baltar much to Adama's outrage. The two also come to blows over their dealing with Thrace's loss ([[TRS]]: "[[The Son Also Rises]]"). This results in a break between the father and son, with Lee resigning his commission and Adama questioning his son's integrity after Lee contributed to humiliating his friend [[Saul Tigh]] in court, not able to understand how he could do such things in order to defend a traitor, whom he believes is undeserving of a trial ([[TRS]]: "[[Crossroads, Part I]]").
*Adama reconsiders his relationship with his son after Lee's [[Crossroads, Part II#Noteworthy Dialogue|impassioned speech]] about justice, itself swaying his vote in favor of an acquittal of Baltar. He is further pleased that his son participated in the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]], offering him his wings back, which Lee refuses as he believes that he can do better in his new role as the new [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum]] delegate from [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Crossroads, Part II]]", "[[He That Believeth In Me]]").
* Adama comforts Laura Roslin throughout her [[Doloxan]] treatments on ''Galactica''. The two bond further and share some of their most intimate thoughts. During this, Roslin manages to convince Adama that they will truly find Earth despite his earlier skepticism. Roslin's remarks that Adama is afraid to lose people close to him hit a mark, and he gives Thrace command of the ''[[Demetrius]]'' on a mission to search for Earth. He wants to believe in her despite serious questions regarding her sudden resurrection, even after her attack on Roslin ([[TRS]]: "[[He That Believeth In Me]]", "[[Six of One]]").
*Adama and Roslin later discuss Lee's choices, including his decision to support the right of Baltar's [[Cult of Baltar|cult]] to assemble without stricture. Adama seems to appreciate his son's idealism to a certain extent, despite having been on its opposing side several times. He also attempts to comfort Galen Tyrol after Cally's [[The Ties That Bind|sudden death]], but Tyrol rejects the efforts and Adama demotes him to specialist before Tyrol can endanger any other pilots ([[TRS]]: "[[Escape Velocity]]").
* While Roslin continues her Doloxan treatments aboard ship, he continues to comfort her by reading various books, including ''[[Searider Falcon]]'', to her and generally being present to discuss matters of faith. He later admits to her that she is the reason why he has faith in their mission to find Earth ([[TRS]]: "[[Escape Velocity]]", "[[Faith]]").
[[Image:410 Adama sees the Fleet off.jpg|thumb|William Adama sees the Fleet off.]]
* After [[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?|Roslin's abrupt abduction]] by the rebel Cylon baseship, as well as [[Sharon Agathon]]'s murder of [[Natalie Faust]], he initiates a search for Roslin while ignoring the Fleet's safety and interests. His dismissal of both the Quorum and [[Tom Zarek]] raise tensions in the Fleet that force his son to search for—and become—the interim president in Roslin's place. Further, tensions between Adama and Tigh to boil, notably after Dr. [[Sherman Cottle]] reports that [[Caprica Six]] is impregnated by Tigh. The two come to blows over their decisions regarding the women currently in their lives. Adama admits that he can't live without Roslin and decides to stay behind in a Raptor to wait for Roslin's return. As a result, he hands command of the Fleet over to newly-promoted Admiral Tigh, acknowledging that Tigh has become more knowledgeable about himself and is not the same man who [[Scattered|commanded the Fleet disastrously]] over two years ago ([[TRS]]: "[[Sine Qua Non]]"). After reconnecting with the missing basestar and reuniting with President Roslin on the hangar deck of the basestar, she finally admits having feelings for him, to which he replies, "About time" ([[TRS]]: "[[The Hub]]").
*When [[Saul Tigh]] confesses that he is a Cylon, [[Revelations|Adama doesn't take it well]]. He can't believe that his decades-long friend is a Cylon and thinks that he was brainwashed on New Caprica. After ordering Marines to arrest Tigh, Adama breaks down in his quarters, hitting a mirror with his fist and sobbing on the floor. His son finds him in this state and tries to get him to pull himself together.

=== Discovery of Earth ===
*After Lee Adama defuses the following crisis with the [[Cylon Civil War|Cylon rebels]], Adama has sufficiently recovered to lead the Fleet on its final jump to Earth, holding a rousing speech [[Revelations|after the arrival]].
* Unfortunately, when the Colonials land on Earth, they discover that the whole planet is a burnt out wasteland ([[TRS]]: "[[Revelations]]"). Baltar confirms that the planet suffered a nuclear holocaust 2000 years ago. There is still enough radiation left to make the planet uninhabitable. Adama leaves the planet's surface in disgust.
* Back on ''Galactica'', Adama receives even more disturbing news. The Rebel Cylons have found evidence on Earth that the Thirteenth Tribe were not human. They were Cylons.
* Adama tries to get Roslin to address the Fleet, but Roslin has completely lost faith in the Scriptures and no longer has the will to lead the people.
* After Dualla commits suicide, Adama breaks down in tears over her body and believes he's failed everyone. He starts drinking excessively and eventually makes his way to Saul Tigh's quarters.
* Tigh tries to apologize for not telling him the truth, but Adama ignores him and instead starts drinking more and insulting Tigh. He questions whether Tigh was "programmed" to be his friend all these years. Adama then comments that Ellen must have realized the truth about her husband long before he did, which is why she slept around with half the Colonial Fleet. Tigh tells him to shut up, but Adama keeps goading him. Tigh finally can't take it anymore and points his pistol at Adama. Adama draws his own weapon which he points to his own head. He tells Tigh to kill him or he'll do it himself.
* Tigh suddenly realizes that Adama wants to die, but he doesn't have the guts to pull the trigger himself. Tigh calms down and sternly tells Adama that he still has a duty to this ship and that his death won't make things any better. Adama slowly comes to terms with everything that has happened.
* Later, Adama walks onto CIC and addresses a thoroughly demoralized crew. He acknowledges that they can't stay on Earth, but he promises they will find a new home. Adama then orders the CIC personnel to begin jump preparation and to plot a course for an area of space likely to contain a habitable planet. He reinstates Tigh to his rank and posting, despite the latter's Cylon nature.

=== Mutiny ===
* Adama approves an alliance between rebel Cylon faction without the consent of the Quorum of Twelve. These Cylons are given them full colonial citizenship an Quorum seat in exchange for Cylon technology and accepting the colonial command structure.
* Adama integrates the Cylon heavy raiders (piloted by humanoid Cylons who thus can communicate directly with the humans) into ''Galactica''’s combat air patrols (CAPs), their Six and Eight pilots assigned to Colonial squadrons.
* Adama orders the fleet to allow Cylons to install their more efficient technology aboard the various ships of the Fleet ([[TRS]]: "[[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]").
* This unpopular decision ferments a [[Gaeta's Mutiny|mutiny attempt]] led militarily by [[Felix Gaeta]] and politically by [[Tom Zarek]].
* Adama is ''de facto'' removed from command, but before he is taken out of the CIC, Adama speaks of a reckoning of traitors.
* The admiral is able to escape the rebels temporary, and helps Laura Roslin and Baltar escape to the Cylon Basestar, but is recaptured in doing so ([[TRS]]: "[[The Oath]]", "[[Blood on the Scales]]").
* Against the advise of Tom Zarek, Gaeta attempts to have an informal trial of Adama charging him with treason.
* Adama is sentenced to death by Gaeta, but again evades death after a group of loyalists save him. His own executioners join him in his quest to retake the ship and he storms CIC with the group that rescued him, the marines who were supposed to execute him and many crew members who join up with him on the way.
* Gaeta attempts to jump away with the fleet, but is stopped by a large group of loyalists storming the CIC and reinstating Adama in command. Gaeta surrenders without a fight and Adama has him and Zarek executed by a firing squad that he personally commands ([[TRS]]: "[[Blood on the Scales]]").

=== Post-Mutiny and the second Earth ===
* With crew sizes stretched very thin, Adama is relying even more on the rebel Cylons, and further integrating the Fleet.
* ''Galactica'' begins to show small fractures through the ship. Tyrol recommends to Adama to use Cylon technology to fix these fractures. Adama initially disagrees, but eventually orders this to be done ([[TRS]]: "[[No Exit]]", "[[Deadlock]]").
*The increased presence of Cylons aboard ''Galactica'' leads to Adama and Roslin viewing them even more as the same as humans, when they realise that Cylons have taken to placing photographs of their own lost companions in the remembrance hall.
* Further damage to the ship caused by Boomer's FTL jump leads Adama to order ''Galactica'''s abandonment ([[TRS]]: "[[Someone to Watch Over Me]]", "[[Islanded in a Stream of Stars]]").
* Adama changes his mind, after discovering [[The Colony|the location]] of [[Hera Agathon]]. He plans to send the ship off in a blaze of glory in a volunteers-only apparent [[Battle of the Colony|suicide mission]] to rescue the child ([[TRS]]: "[[Daybreak, Part II]]").
* Adama rejects two volunteers: Doctor (Major) [[Sherman Cottle]] is needed by the civilian populace. Adama brevets Lt. [[Louis Hoshi]] to rear admiral and appoints him to command of the rest of the Fleet from the Cylon Basestar under appointed Acting President Romo Lampkin.
* Adama and the volunteers successfully save Hera and destroy the Colony. With the Colony detonating around them, Adama orders [[Kara Thrace]] to [[blind jump]] the ship away, without giving time to draw in the ship's Flight Pods. The ship ends up at a habitable planet, with it's structual integrity totally compromised and it's ability to Jump gone forever.
* Finding the planet habitable and sparcely populated by inexplicedly genetically compatable humans, Adama suggests it be named Earth to take the place of the planet they had long sought.
* The Fleet reunites with ''Galactica''. Adama reluctantly agrees to Lee's proto-ludite settlement plans for the new planet, and orders that the ships of the Fleet be flown into the sun by [[Samuel Anders]] (less the Cylon Basestar which the humanoid Cylons give to the Centurions with which to make their own destiny).
* He flies off in a Raptor with Roslin to find a good place to build a cabin, never planning to return and finds the perfect spot... moments after Laura Roslin dies peacefully of her cancer, after which he places his wedding ring on her finger.
*He builds a cabin in a mountain range for himself, and buries Roslin nearby. Afterwards, he lives in solitude in the cabin, often visiting Laura's grave and speaking to her ([[TRS]]: "[[Daybreak, Part II]]").

== Family tree ==
{{Adama Family Tree (RDM)}}

==Notes==
*[[Wikipedia:Adama|Adama]] (also known as Nazareth) is the name of a large city in Ethiopia. The name is also a variation on "[[Wikipedia:Adam and Eve|Adam]]," the first man to be created according to the Bible in the [[Wikipedia:Genesis|Book of Genesis]]. In Hebrew the word pronounced "Adama" means earth.
*The Tauron language is portrayed on the show using Ancient Greek. Thus, the most likely etymology for the family name "Adama" is from ''adamas'' (ἀδάμας), which means invincible and is the etymological root of the word ''diamond''. It seems a suitable choice as the surname of the various related characters in this series as it relates to their personality traits.
*Edward James Olmos has brown eyes, but he wears contacts when playing William Adama that make Adama's eyes blue. This is done so that Olmos and [[Jamie Bamber]], who is playing his son Apollo, will resemble each other more.
*Astute viewers may recall Edward James Olmos sharing the screen with realistic humanoid robots as [[w:List of minor characters in Blade Runner#Gaff|Gaff]] in the classic science fiction film ''[[w:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]]'', which also used the term "skin job" as a pejorative to denote the artificial humanoids.
*Olmos also shares with ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' star [[MemoryAlpha:William Shatner|William Shatner]] the distinction of being one of only two actors to both command a television starship and portray a police officer in a popular 1980's cop show (''[[w:Miami Vice|Miami Vice]]'' for Olmos, ''[[w:T.J. Hooker|T.J. Hooker]]'' for Shatner), as a regularly credited actor on each show.
*Edward James Olmos is the father of actor [[Bodie Olmos]], who plays [[Brendan Costanza]].
*Roslin has [[Billy Keikeya]] seek out a jeweler to fashion new admiral pins for Adama after Cain's death at the end of "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]".

Admiral '''William Adama''', a veteran of the [[First Cylon War]], is the commanding officer of the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'', and has the longest tenure as the highest ranking officer in the Colonial Fleet after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].

== Background ==
*William Adama was born in 57-58 BCH on Caprica, the son of [[Joseph Adama|Joseph]] and [[Evelyn Adama]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]") He was named after his [[Willie Adama|deceased half-brother]] and their paternal [[William Adama Sr.|grandfather]] ([[CAP]]: "[[Apotheosis (episode)|Apotheosis]]"). His father was a criminal defense lawyer who later specialized in civil liberties cases, while his mother was an accountant ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]") and Joseph's personal legal assistant ([[CAP]]: "[[Reins of a Waterfall]]"). He was raised in [[Qualai]], a small coastal community ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]").
*The extent of William Adama's knowledge regarding his half-siblings and his father's previous marriage, or his father's involvement with [[Daniel Graystone]] and the creation of the [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylons]], is not known.
* He was still in school at the beginning of the [[Cylon War]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 1). During his childhood, he was considered small for his age and would often be beaten by his peers ([[TRS]]: [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)/Season 3#99|deleted scene]], "[[Exodus, Part II]]").
*Adama served late in the [[Cylon War]] as both a [[Raptor]] and [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilot, his first assignment being on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. His first mission behind enemy lines was in a Raptor undergoing an unknown mission ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 1; "[[Sine Qua Non]]"). He allegedly gained the call sign of "Husker"<ref>Adama's callsign is misspelled as "Husher" in the [[Battlestar Galactica (2005 Novel)|Miniseries novelization]], which is considered a [[BW:SEPCON|separate continuity]] source.</ref> on account of his baritone "graveled" voice. During his time on ''Galactica'', he had a romantic relationship with [[Jaycie McGavin]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]", Episode 1). He proved a gifted pilot, shooting down his first [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] on his very first combat mission, for which he received a commendation ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]", Episode 3; "[[Hero]]").
*In the last week in the war, Adama served on ''[[Galactica]]'' when the battlestar was boarded by Cylon forces. He recalled to his friend [[Saul Tigh]] a dangerous Cylon tactic that tried to turn the battlestar's power against itself ([[TRS]]: "[[Valley of Darkness]]", [[List of Deleted Scenes - Season 2 (RDM)#Valley of Darkness|deleted scene]]).
*Furloughed by [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] after the war's end, Adama found work as a deck hand on a [[Sedulana|merchant fleet civilian freighter]], where he met [[Saul Tigh]], who became a long-time friend ([[TRS]]: "[[Scattered]]", "[[Valley of Darkness]]").
*Adama married [[Carolanne Adama]], whose family had political influence with the defense subcommittee and pulled to get Adama reinstated to the Colonial Fleet. Adama (now a major) himself arranged for Tigh's reinstatement two years later.
*William and Carolanne Adama had two sons, [[Lee Adama|Lee]] and [[Zak Adama|Zak]], before the pressures of Adama's career and the time he spent away from home in active service began to place a strain on their marriage, and the two eventually divorced ([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]], "[[A Day in the Life]]").
*While elder son Lee showed promise as a Viper pilot, younger Zak Adama did not. [[Kara Thrace]], Zak's flight instructor and lover, certified him for basic flight despite his poor flight skills. Later, Zak Adama was killed in an operational flight. Zak's death would cause a rift between Commander Adama and his older son for nearly [[Act of Contrition|three years]] until Thrace admits her error to both of them.
*Adama rose through the ranks of the peacetime fleet, becoming the executive officer of the battlestar ''[[Columbia (RDM)|Columbia]]'', before becoming the commander of the battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]''. About six years <ref name="hero">While dialogue from "[[Hero]]" places these events at 1 BCH, this contradicts previously established dates about the time Adama and others served on ''Galactica''. See [[Hero#Analysis]] for a detailed explanation why ''Battlestar Wiki'' chooses to treat this as a continuity error.</ref> prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], he was ordered by Admiral [[Peter Corman]] to escort a [[Stealthstar|stealth scout ship]] over the [[Armistice Line]]. The mission was a failure, and in an attempt to cover up, he ordered the ship and its pilot shot down. Ever since, he had felt guilt, both over shooting down his own pilot and over the possibility that his actions resulted in the holocaust. According to Tigh, this mission brought his star into descent, and he was given command of ''Galactica'' as a graceful way of easing into retirement.
*Adama has the rare combination of qualities that make up a good leader: insight, the ability to naturally command respect, a common touch that enables him to relate to the enlisted personnel under his command as well as his officers, intuition, intelligence, a strong belief in his own abilities, and the ability to take the advice of others. These qualities are reflected in the fact that personnel of all ranks aboard ''Galactica'' hold him in high regard, and know that he is approachable ([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]]).
*Adama mistrusts politicians, and sometimes places too strongly a value of loyalty to those he regards as family and friends. From his uneasiness to [[Laura Roslin]]'s unexpected assumption of the Presidency, to the tolerance and patience of his friend, Saul Tigh, and [[You Can't Go Home Again|his stubbornness to save Kara Thrace]], Adama shows a dogged determination that few others care to confront.
*Adama does not share the majority of Colonial beliefs in the gods ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor]]"), although he has come to accept that his people's scripture may have relevance to the search for Earth ([[TRS]]: "[[Home, Part II]]").
*Several notable assignments and reassignments during his 45-year career in the Colonial Fleet ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]"):
**D6/21311 - First commission: battlestar ''Galactica'' fighter squadron
**E4/21312 - Commendation for shooting down Cylon fighter in first combat mission
**D5/21314 - Mustered out of service post-armistice
**R6/21317 - Served as deckhand in merchant fleet and as common [...] aboard inter-colony tramp freighters
**D1/21331 - Recommissioned to Fleet
**D6/21337 - Major: battlestar ''[[Atlantia (RDM)|Atlantia]]''
**R8/21341 - Executive Officer: battlestar ''[[Columbia (RDM)|Columbia]]''
**C2/21345 - Commander: battlestar ''[[Valkyrie]]''
**C2/21348 - Commander: battlestar ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''

== Character History==

=== Childhood ===

* He was still in school when the First [[Cylon War]] started ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]," Episode 1). During his childhood, he was considered small for his age and would often be beaten by his peers ([[TRS]]: [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)/Season 3#99|deleted scene]], "[[Exodus, Part II]]").

=== The Fall of the Twelve Colonies ===

[[image:Mini_Adama_Tigh_DRADIS.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Commander Adama and Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] plot a course to [[Ragnar Anchorage]] in the [[Miniseries]].]]

*At the time just prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Fall]], William Adama serves out his final weeks as commander of the battlestar ''[[Galactica]]''. After some 50 years of service, the historic warship is in the process of being decommissioned, and it is one of Adama's final duties to formally hand her over to the [[Colonial Ministry of Education]], which would operate the ship as a living museum and educational center commemorating the [[First Cylon War|original Cylon War]].
*As a retirement gift, several members of [[Galen Tyrol]]'s deck crew find and restore Adama's old [[Viper Mark II]].
*On news of a renewed Cylon attack, Adama's first thoughts are, "Dead. We're all dead" ([[TRS]]: "[[Home, Part II]]"). Despite this, as well as the presumed loss of his [[Carolanne Adama|ex-wife]] in Caprica City, he unhesitatingly takes control of the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] after [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Picon|Picon]] Fleet Headquarters is destroyed and Admiral [[Nagala]] is killed.
*At Ragnar Anchorage, Adama deduces that [[Number Two|Leoben Conoy]]'s "allergies" are really the effect of Ragnar's cloud's electro-magnetic radiation upon the [[silica pathways]] composing a Cylon brain, despite the fact that the existence of [[Humanoid Cylon|biological Cylons]] is presumably unknown to humans at that time.<ref>See [[Miniseries, Analysis#Commander William Adama|Miniseries, Analysis]] for hypotheses concerning Adama's curious ability to quickly deduce Conoy's real nature.</ref>
*Once President Roslin convinces Adama the futility of fighting against overwhelming odds, and with what may be the last 50,000 humans who remain anywhere, he makes the switch to the more tactical thinking that keeps the Colonial Fleet at least one step ahead of their Cylon pursuers.
*From the outset, he is savvy enough to give every single survivor of the devastating attack on the Colonies a reason for hope for the future: the legend of [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]. This falsehood [[Tomb of Athena|comes back to haunt him]] as the weeks continue, as Roslin is aware of this lie to the crew and states this privately to Adama.

=== From the Colonies to Kobol ===

*Adama continues to face the problem of infiltration within the Fleet by [[humanoid Cylon]]s as well as [[Demand Peace|dissenting humans]] who protest or terrorize others in the Fleet. Adama continually redefines the boundaries of military and civil leadership. After some [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II|serious missteps between he and President Roslin]], the two later become friends as well as influential leaders.
*[[Sharon Valerii]], a trusted [[Raptor]] pilot who served with Adama for two years, reveals herself unwittingly as a Cylon sleeper agent and shoots Adama at point blank range after a [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II|critical mission near Kobol]]. Cottle [[Fragged|eventually repairs]] the damage to Adama's body, but Adama's psyche takes the larger hit while he repairs the [[Resistance|damage to the Fleet]] he and Col. Tigh have caused in arresting President Roslin, as well as the existence of a [[Sharon Agathon|second copy of Valerii]].
*While at first Adama takes a similar stance to Tigh in assuming a hard military posture, a conversation with [[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]] helps him realize that, despite the problems, the Fleet is his family, and the family must stay together. After finding the [[Tomb of Athena]] with Roslin and reuniting a [[Laura Roslin faction|factioning of the Fleet]], Adama firmly buries the hatchet between himself and Roslin publicly.
*In a desperate plan, Adama trusts the second Valerii to help [[Flight of the Phoenix|ward off]] a [[Great Cylon Turkey Shoot|massive Cylon fleet]]. Despite his "gut" feelings about the Cylon, he finds common ground often with her, even apologizing to her after a [[Resurrection Ship, Part I|distasteful incident]].

</gallery>

=== ''Pegasus'' ===

*Adama stoically accepts Admiral [[Helena Cain]]'s overall command. Wary of her behavior and her crew, Adama follows his own truism: stick to what you know, until you find something better.
*Matters with Cain's unusually totalitarian command style come to a head when Cain makes [[Pegasus (episode)|several highly questionable orders]] that lead him to face off with her battlestar and her command in a [[Standoff Between Galactica and Pegasus|military challenge]]. While the issue is [[Resurrection Ship, Part I|temporarily defused]], Adama is told by, of all people, President Roslin that Cain is a threat to the safety of the Fleet's citizens and must be eliminated.
*Adama avoids killing Cain after realizing that he would become the monster that the Cylons believed they were, unaware that she has plotted his demise as well.
*With Cain's fate sealed not by Adama but [[Gina Inviere]], a frail President Roslin promotes Adama to Admiral. He gives her a simple, affectionate kiss, which she returns, signifying another change in their turbulent association ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).

=== New Caprica ===

[[Image:Adama being carried Exodus-Pt-II.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Adama being carried by crew and civilians after the [[Battle of New Caprica]] (mid left).]]

*Adama's sense of justice with Roslin holds when he confronts her about [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|a conspiracy]] involving her re-election. Roslin admits the conspiracy but she is certain disaster will strike if [[Gaius Baltar]] becomes president. He agrees, but convinces Roslin that the correct course of action is to acknowledge a miscount and cover the conspiracy.
*When ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' and two other ships blow up as a result of [[Gina Inviere]]'s last effort of sabotage, Adama is privately infuriated at new President Baltar's refusal to investigate, and begins to wonder if he hadn't made a mistake.
*A year later, Adama commands ''Galactica'' manned by a skeleton crew as the flagship of a defense fleet, consisting of all ships unable or unwilling to make planetfall on [[New Caprica]]. He now sports a thick mustache, and has apparently taken up smoking. Adama feel lonely in command after he allowed many people close to him to settle on the planet despite his initial refusal. Eventually he grants [[Saul Tigh]] leave to take his wife [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen]] and go as well. His friendship to [[Laura Roslin]] appears to have deepened and the two share a carefree day during Founders' Day celebrations on the planet, marking the formal ground-breaking of New Caprica City ([[TRS]]: "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]", "[[Unfinished Business]]").
*Shortly after the election, Adama and/or President Baltar commissions Petty Officer Anastasia Dualla a lieutenant (junior grade), skipping the initial commissioned rank of ensign. Aside from pilots, she is the only NCO shown to receive a commission. On the morning after the Founders' Day celebration, Adama approves her transfer to Battlestar ''Pegasus'' to join his son and her lover, Commander Lee Adama.
*During the year in orbit, he mends fences with [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon]]. Although he valued her advise earlier, he called her a "thing" or "it" and treated her such. While becoming estranged from the people around him, Adama grows much closer to Agathon, having personal conversations with her and he allowing her to decorate her cell with chairs, tables and other amenities and she has apparently become an advisor of sorts to him ([[TRS]]: "[[Precipice]]"). He permits [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] to marry her, and she adopts his surname, Agathon, thereby further separating herself from the identical Sharon Valerii who shot Adama.
*With Colonel Tigh released from active duty and beached on New Caprica, Adama promotes Lt. Karl Agathon (Helo) to captain and appoints him Executive Officer of ''Galactica,'' thereby demonstrating both the trust he has in Helo despite the latter's marriage to the Cylon prisoner, and his unwillingness to split families.
*Not long after Tigh leaves, a massive Cylon fleet bears down on New Caprica. After a brief discussion with [[Lee Adama|his son]] aboard ''Pegasus'' they order the understaffed Fleet to escape to pre-arranged Jump coordinates. The admiral issues the jump order with a reminder: "We're leaving... but we'll be back."
* Frustrations over the lack of a plan and problems during exercises lead to a conflict with his son whom he attacks over his weight gain and perceived softness. While Lee is pragmatic and doesn't believe that they can rescue the people on New Caprica in their state, his father drives everyone to their limit, thinking it is his misjudgments that brought them into the situation.
*He only forgives himself for leaving almost everyone behind after a conversation with Agathon, where she explains that, after being through so much herself, she discovered that she first had to forgive herself in order to get through it. In her opinion, the human race can't survive if Adama can't forgive himself.
*He commissions Agathon as a Colonial officer shortly after making contact with the [[New Caprica Resistance]], showing complete trust in her. She asks how he knows that she won't betray him and he replies he doesn't, stating "that's what trust is." Eventually a rescue plan takes shape, but Adama decides to go to New Caprica alone, ordering his son to take over as guardian of the Fleet should he not return. Despite their differences of opinion, the two have a heartfelt goodbye.
*Although sustaining losses, and with the last-minute assistance of Lee and ''Pegasus'', Adama is able to [[Battle of New Caprica|successfully pull off the rescue attempt]]. He is lauded by his crew and the civilians for this. He also shaves off his mustache, signifying a new beginning ([[TRS]]: "[[Occupation]]" through "[[Exodus, Part II]]").

=== Flight from New Caprica to "Maelstrom" ===
*Adama is awarded the [[Medal of Distinction]] for his 45 years of distinctive service in the Colonial Fleet. To him this is a penance for the harm that he caused in the past, and his belief that he might have been the cause of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Hero]]").
*In an effort to alleviate tensions on ''Galactica'', Adama [[Unfinished Business|holds a boxing tournament]], disregarding rank, allowing people to work out built up frustrations. He himself joins the festivities by challenging Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]]. Beaten, he declares that he let everyone too close to him, which ultimately led to the fracturing of their family on New Caprica, and vows to not make that mistake again.
*After the discovery of the [[Temple of Five]] on the [[algae planet]], four Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] jump into orbit. A meeting with the Cylons occurs on ''Galactica'', but Adama threatens to nuke the planet should the Cylons make a claim to it. A standoff occurs, and when the Cylons try to launch six Heavy Raiders, Adama orders the arming the ship's [[missile tubes]]. This frightens the Cylons, who recall five of the six and Adama orders a stand down ([[TRS]]: "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", "[[Rapture]]").
*With the capture of [[Gaius Baltar]], Adama and President Roslin are faced with a dilemma of what to do with Baltar. They try various methods of interrogation, including food and sleep deprivation, threats, and even an [[interrogation drug]], to find out what the Cylons know about the location of Earth. Adama apparently has previous experience with the drug and, after suggesting its use, acts as the interrogator, showing his darker side ([[TRS]]: "[[Taking a Break From All Your Worries]]").
*On his wedding anniversary, Adama is plagued by memories of his [[Carolanne Adama|ex-wife]]. He wonders about the nature of his relationship to Roslin, not admitting that it could turn into a romantic one. He is also unsure how to treat his son, having a hard time telling him his personal feelings: "proud, stubborn and angry", but "coming into his own". While loving his son, he prefers to interact with him as an admiral to a subordinate officer, believing Lee knows how he feels. Upon Roslin's recommendations, he offers his son to organize Baltar's upcoming trial. Although not sure if Lee will have the time, he gives him [[Joseph Adama]]'s old [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies#Law books|law books]]. It is also revealed that Adama does memory exercises to enable him to know everyone on his crew by name ([[TRS]]: "[[A Day in the Life]]").

=== [[Kara Thrace]]'s death, resurrection and the final leg of the journey to Earth ===
* By chance, Adama is selected to be a judge at the trial. Two weeks after [[Kara Thrace]]'s [[Maelstrom|death]] he is still distraught, having considered her as a daughter—after her resurection/return/rebirth, he tells her, "You are my daughter" ([[TRS]]: "[[Daybreak, Part I]]"). In anger, he breaks his model ship. Adama places [[Lee Adama|Lee]] in charge of security for [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]]'s new lawyer, [[Romo Lampkin]], but Lee develops a desire to actively help defend Baltar much to Adama's outrage. The two also come to blows over their dealing with Thrace's loss ([[TRS]]: "[[The Son Also Rises]]"). This results in a break between the father and son, with Lee resigning his commission and Adama questioning his son's integrity after Lee contributed to humiliating his friend [[Saul Tigh]] in court, not able to understand how he could do such things in order to defend a traitor, whom he believes is undeserving of a trial ([[TRS]]: "[[Crossroads, Part I]]").
*Adama reconsiders his relationship with his son after Lee's [[Crossroads, Part II#Noteworthy Dialogue|impassioned speech]] about justice, itself swaying his vote in favor of an acquittal of Baltar. He is further pleased that his son participated in the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]], offering him his wings back, which Lee refuses as he believes that he can do better in his new role as the new [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum]] delegate from [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Crossroads, Part II]]", "[[He That Believeth In Me]]").
* Adama comforts Laura Roslin throughout her [[Doloxan]] treatments on ''Galactica''. The two bond further and share some of their most intimate thoughts. During this, Roslin manages to convince Adama that they will truly find Earth despite his earlier skepticism. Roslin's remarks that Adama is afraid to lose people close to him hit a mark, and he gives Thrace command of the ''[[Demetrius]]'' on a mission to search for Earth. He wants to believe in her despite serious questions regarding her sudden resurrection, even after her attack on Roslin ([[TRS]]: "[[He That Believeth In Me]]", "[[Six of One]]").
*Adama and Roslin later discuss Lee's choices, including his decision to support the right of Baltar's [[Cult of Baltar|cult]] to assemble without stricture. Adama seems to appreciate his son's idealism to a certain extent, despite having been on its opposing side several times. He also attempts to comfort Galen Tyrol after Cally's [[The Ties That Bind|sudden death]], but Tyrol rejects the efforts and Adama demotes him to specialist before Tyrol can endanger any other pilots ([[TRS]]: "[[Escape Velocity]]").
* While Roslin continues her Doloxan treatments aboard ship, he continues to comfort her by reading various books, including ''[[Searider Falcon]]'', to her and generally being present to discuss matters of faith. He later admits to her that she is the reason why he has faith in their mission to find Earth ([[TRS]]: "[[Escape Velocity]]", "[[Faith]]").
[[Image:410 Adama sees the Fleet off.jpg|thumb|William Adama sees the Fleet off.]]
* After [[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?|Roslin's abrupt abduction]] by the rebel Cylon baseship, as well as [[Sharon Agathon]]'s murder of [[Natalie Faust]], he initiates a search for Roslin while ignoring the Fleet's safety and interests. His dismissal of both the Quorum and [[Tom Zarek]] raise tensions in the Fleet that force his son to search for—and become—the interim president in Roslin's place. Further, tensions between Adama and Tigh to boil, notably after Dr. [[Sherman Cottle]] reports that [[Caprica Six]] is impregnated by Tigh. The two come to blows over their decisions regarding the women currently in their lives. Adama admits that he can't live without Roslin and decides to stay behind in a Raptor to wait for Roslin's return. As a result, he hands command of the Fleet over to newly-promoted Admiral Tigh, acknowledging that Tigh has become more knowledgeable about himself and is not the same man who [[Scattered|commanded the Fleet disastrously]] over two years ago ([[TRS]]: "[[Sine Qua Non]]"). After reconnecting with the missing basestar and reuniting with President Roslin on the hangar deck of the basestar, she finally admits having feelings for him, to which he replies, "About time" ([[TRS]]: "[[The Hub]]").
*When [[Saul Tigh]] confesses that he is a Cylon, [[Revelations|Adama doesn't take it well]]. He can't believe that his decades-long friend is a Cylon and thinks that he was brainwashed on New Caprica. After ordering Marines to arrest Tigh, Adama breaks down in his quarters, hitting a mirror with his fist and sobbing on the floor. His son finds him in this state and tries to get him to pull himself together.

=== Discovery of Earth ===
*After Lee Adama defuses the following crisis with the [[Cylon Civil War|Cylon rebels]], Adama has sufficiently recovered to lead the Fleet on its final jump to Earth, holding a rousing speech [[Revelations|after the arrival]].
* Unfortunately, when the Colonials land on Earth, they discover that the whole planet is a burnt out wasteland ([[TRS]]: "[[Revelations]]"). Baltar confirms that the planet suffered a nuclear holocaust 2000 years ago. There is still enough radiation left to make the planet uninhabitable. Adama leaves the planet's surface in disgust.
* Back on ''Galactica'', Adama receives even more disturbing news. The Rebel Cylons have found evidence on Earth that the Thirteenth Tribe were not human. They were Cylons.
* Adama tries to get Roslin to address the Fleet, but Roslin has completely lost faith in the Scriptures and no longer has the will to lead the people.
* After Dualla commits suicide, Adama breaks down in tears over her body and believes he's failed everyone. He starts drinking excessively and eventually makes his way to Saul Tigh's quarters.
* Tigh tries to apologize for not telling him the truth, but Adama ignores him and instead starts drinking more and insulting Tigh. He questions whether Tigh was "programmed" to be his friend all these years. Adama then comments that Ellen must have realized the truth about her husband long before he did, which is why she slept around with half the Colonial Fleet. Tigh tells him to shut up, but Adama keeps goading him. Tigh finally can't take it anymore and points his pistol at Adama. Adama draws his own weapon which he points to his own head. He tells Tigh to kill him or he'll do it himself.
* Tigh suddenly realizes that Adama wants to die, but he doesn't have the guts to pull the trigger himself. Tigh calms down and sternly tells Adama that he still has a duty to this ship and that his death won't make things any better. Adama slowly comes to terms with everything that has happened.
* Later, Adama walks onto CIC and addresses a thoroughly demoralized crew. He acknowledges that they can't stay on Earth, but he promises they will find a new home. Adama then orders the CIC personnel to begin jump preparation and to plot a course for an area of space likely to contain a habitable planet. He reinstates Tigh to his rank and posting, despite the latter's Cylon nature.

=== Mutiny ===
* Adama approves an alliance between rebel Cylon faction without the consent of the Quorum of Twelve. These Cylons are given them full colonial citizenship an Quorum seat in exchange for Cylon technology and accepting the colonial command structure.
* Adama integrates the Cylon heavy raiders (piloted by humanoid Cylons who thus can communicate directly with the humans) into ''Galactica''’s combat air patrols (CAPs), their Six and Eight pilots assigned to Colonial squadrons.
* Adama orders the fleet to allow Cylons to install their more efficient technology aboard the various ships of the Fleet ([[TRS]]: "[[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]").
* This unpopular decision ferments a [[Gaeta's Mutiny|mutiny attempt]] led militarily by [[Felix Gaeta]] and politically by [[Tom Zarek]].
* Adama is ''de facto'' removed from command, but before he is taken out of the CIC, Adama speaks of a reckoning of traitors.
* The admiral is able to escape the rebels temporary, and helps Laura Roslin and Baltar escape to the Cylon Basestar, but is recaptured in doing so ([[TRS]]: "[[The Oath]]", "[[Blood on the Scales]]").
* Against the advise of Tom Zarek, Gaeta attempts to have an informal trial of Adama charging him with treason.
* Adama is sentenced to death by Gaeta, but again evades death after a group of loyalists save him. His own executioners join him in his quest to retake the ship and he storms CIC with the group that rescued him, the marines who were supposed to execute him and many crew members who join up with him on the way.
* Gaeta attempts to jump away with the fleet, but is stopped by a large group of loyalists storming the CIC and reinstating Adama in command. Gaeta surrenders without a fight and Adama has him and Zarek executed by a firing squad that he personally commands ([[TRS]]: "[[Blood on the Scales]]").

=== Post-Mutiny and the second Earth ===
* With crew sizes stretched very thin, Adama is relying even more on the rebel Cylons, and further integrating the Fleet.
* ''Galactica'' begins to show small fractures through the ship. Tyrol recommends to Adama to use Cylon technology to fix these fractures. Adama initially disagrees, but eventually orders this to be done ([[TRS]]: "[[No Exit]]", "[[Deadlock]]").
*The increased presence of Cylons aboard ''Galactica'' leads to Adama and Roslin viewing them even more as the same as humans, when they realise that Cylons have taken to placing photographs of their own lost companions in the remembrance hall.
* Further damage to the ship caused by Boomer's FTL jump leads Adama to order ''Galactica'''s abandonment ([[TRS]]: "[[Someone to Watch Over Me]]", "[[Islanded in a Stream of Stars]]").
* Adama changes his mind, after discovering [[The Colony|the location]] of [[Hera Agathon]]. He plans to send the ship off in a blaze of glory in a volunteers-only apparent [[Battle of the Colony|suicide mission]] to rescue the child ([[TRS]]: "[[Daybreak, Part II]]").
* Adama rejects two volunteers: Doctor (Major) [[Sherman Cottle]] is needed by the civilian populace. Adama brevets Lt. [[Louis Hoshi]] to rear admiral and appoints him to command of the rest of the Fleet from the Cylon Basestar under appointed Acting President Romo Lampkin.
* Adama and the volunteers successfully save Hera and destroy the Colony. With the Colony detonating around them, Adama orders [[Kara Thrace]] to [[blind jump]] the ship away, without giving time to draw in the ship's Flight Pods. The ship ends up at a habitable planet, with it's structual integrity totally compromised and it's ability to Jump gone forever.
* Finding the planet habitable and sparcely populated by inexplicedly genetically compatable humans, Adama suggests it be named Earth to take the place of the planet they had long sought.
* The Fleet reunites with ''Galactica''. Adama reluctantly agrees to Lee's proto-ludite settlement plans for the new planet, and orders that the ships of the Fleet be flown into the sun by [[Samuel Anders]] (less the Cylon Basestar which the humanoid Cylons give to the Centurions with which to make their own destiny).
* He flies off in a Raptor with Roslin to find a good place to build a cabin, never planning to return and finds the perfect spot... moments after Laura Roslin dies peacefully of her cancer, after which he places his wedding ring on her finger.
*He builds a cabin in a mountain range for himself, and buries Roslin nearby. Afterwards, he lives in solitude in the cabin, often visiting Laura's grave and speaking to her ([[TRS]]: "[[Daybreak, Part II]]").

== Family tree ==
{{Adama Family Tree (RDM)}}

==Notes==
*[[Wikipedia:Adama|Adama]] (also known as Nazareth) is the name of a large city in Ethiopia. The name is also a variation on "[[Wikipedia:Adam and Eve|Adam]]," the first man to be created according to the Bible in the [[Wikipedia:Genesis|Book of Genesis]]. In Hebrew the word pronounced "Adama" means earth.
*The Tauron language is portrayed on the show using Ancient Greek. Thus, the most likely etymology for the family name "Adama" is from ''adamas'' (ἀδάμας), which means invincible and is the etymological root of the word ''diamond''. It seems a suitable choice as the surname of the various related characters in this series as it relates to their personality traits.
*Edward James Olmos has brown eyes, but he wears contacts when playing William Adama that make Adama's eyes blue. This is done so that Olmos and [[Jamie Bamber]], who is playing his son Apollo, will resemble each other more.
*Astute viewers may recall Edward James Olmos sharing the screen with realistic humanoid robots as [[w:List of minor characters in Blade Runner#Gaff|Gaff]] in the classic science fiction film ''[[w:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]]'', which also used the term "skin job" as a pejorative to denote the artificial humanoids.
*Olmos also shares with ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' star [[MemoryAlpha:William Shatner|William Shatner]] the distinction of being one of only two actors to both command a television starship and portray a police officer in a popular 1980's cop show (''[[w:Miami Vice|Miami Vice]]'' for Olmos, ''[[w:T.J. Hooker|T.J. Hooker]]'' for Shatner), as a regularly credited actor on each show.
*Edward James Olmos is the father of actor [[Bodie Olmos]], who plays [[Brendan Costanza]].
*Roslin has [[Billy Keikeya]] seek out a jeweler to fashion new admiral pins for Adama after Cain's death at the end of "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]".

'''''Blood and Chrome''''' is a television pilot that is in development, following the exploits of a young [[William Adama]] during the [[Cylon War|First Cylon War]]. It is a sequel to ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]'' and a prequel to the [[Re-imagined Series]].<ref name=greenlit>[http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/10/22/syfy-greenlights-battlestar-galactica-blood-chrome/69283 Syfy Greenlights "Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome"], ''TV By the Numbers'', October 22, 2010</ref>

Other than the initial announcement<ref name="mo_ryan">{{cite_web|url=http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2010/07/battlestar-galactica.html|title=Exclusive: 'Battlestar Galactica' sets up a Young Adama spinoff|date=27 July 2010|accessdate=27 July 2010|last=Ryan|first=Maureen|format=|language=}}</ref> from [[Syfy Channel]]'s executive vice president of programming Mark Stern and ''Blood and Chrome'''s co-producer [[Michael Taylor]], the feature has been greenlit.<ref name=greenlit/>

The plan is for the series to have a two-hour backdoor pilot, which has recently been greenlighted by Syfy.<ref name=greenlit/> The pilot will be directed by [[Jonas Pate]].<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.deadline.com/2010/11/three-drama-pilots-land-directors/|title=Deadline.com: Four Drama Pilots Land Director|date=22 November 2010|accessdate=23 November 2010|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|format=|language=}}</ref>

Depending on the success of this pilot, it may lead to a television series.

== Plot ==

According to Taylor, the series is "about a young man's [William Adama] initiation into war: both the realities of war as fought by soldiers on the ground (and in [[Battlestar (RDM)|Battlestars]] and [[Viper (RDM)|Vipers]]), and the somewhat less real version portrayed in the media."<ref name="mo_ryan"/>

Further, Taylor points out that the scope of the series "isn't confined to ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. Far from it. It's a story that will take us to new corners of the ''Battlestar'' world (or [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|worlds]]), and yet it aims to be a very contemporary war movie in a lot of ways. I would say I'm thinking as much of [[w:Afghanistan|Afghanistan]] and [[w:Iraq|Iraq]]--the reality of ''[[w:The Hurt Locker|[The] Hurt Locker]]'', [[w:Sebastian Junger|Sebastian Junger]]'s ''[[w:Restrepo (film)|Restrepo]]'', and similar movies--as I am about about the largely implied past of ''Battlestar''."<ref name="mo_ryan"/>

''Blood and Chrome'' was also meant to feature adult situations as, according to Taylor, the series will not "[shy] away from R-rated blood and guts and sex" due to it being initially meant for online consumption.<ref name="mo_ryan"/> Given its status as a televised feature, it is possible that the "adult situations" may be retooled to make it appropriate for broadcast with an unrated version appearing on DVD. This was the case with ''[[The Plan]]'', which featured nudity and near-explicit sexual situations.

== Title ==

Is there any particular reason the title is "Blood and Chrome" with "Blood & Chrome" as a redirect? All press information has used "Blood & Chrome" as the spelling, which says to me that it should be the other way around. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 17:54, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

: The ampersand is a bit of a technical issue in the URL, which is why we're using "Blood and Chrome" for right now. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 18:04, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

:: Ah. I hope that it gets fixed. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 05:24, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

== Placeholder image? ==

Until the powers that be release a title card or promotional photo for ''Blood and Chrome'', could we use the [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005]] closeup as a placeholder? The image seems to be generic enough to represent any Cylon War-era story. More importantly, we need something for the "Next Aired Episode" box on the main page. -- [[User:BlueResistance|BlueResistance]] 12:58, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

:: Actually, having thought about it, it would probably suit us to use one of the production art images that are available online. Even if they're just rough art, it's more representative of the production than the Cylon Centurion from "Razor." -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 20:54, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

A classically trained composer and multiple-award recipient, '''Bear McCreary''' is the mastermind behind the music of the [[Re-imagined Series]].

McCreary's work is available in the [[Soundtrack (Season 1)|Season 1]], [[Soundtrack (Season 2)|Season 2]], [[Soundtrack (Season 3)|Season 3]] and [[Soundtrack (Season 4)|Season 4]] soundtracks to the hit SF series. Having composed music since he was just 6 years old, and being a graduate of the USC Thornton School of Music, McCreary has a knack for creating classical pieces, as well as quirky, off-beat melodies.

McCreary worked on the [[Miniseries]] as an additional composer with soundtrack composer [[Richard Gibbs]], and collaborated with Gibbs on the soundtracks for season 1 episodes 2 & 3, "[[Water]]" & "[[Bastille Day]]", respectively. Gibbs opted not to commit to the regular series production, citing schedule conflicts and his desire to devote more time to scoring theatrical films. As a result, McCreary alone scored "[[33]]" (the first episode aired) and stayed on as soundtrack composer from then on.

The piano-playing character [[Dreilide Thrace|Slick]] in the [[Season 4 (2008-09)|Season 4]] episode "[[Someone to Watch Over Me]]" was loosely based on McCreary.<ref>http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2008/06/sepinwall_on_tv_michael_giacch.html</ref> He also made an uncredited appearance as a patron of [[Joe's bar]] in the episode "[[Deadlock]]".

McCreary has also scored SyFy's ''[[w:Eureka (TV series)|Eureka]]'' and FOX's ''[[w:Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles|Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', based on the Terminator movies. In addition, he will be scoring the upcoming prequel series ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]''. When not working on television, McCreary also composes soundtracks for independent movies.

== Which Karen Austin? ==

I've found no fewer than three Karen Austin's on the IMDb.

The [[MemoryAlpha:Karen Austin|one from ''Night Court'']] isn't the one we're looking for, because she doesn't look like her from the pictures available online. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 04:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
: Confusing indeed. I wonder why IMDb assigned the BSG 4.04 credit to the other Karen Austin (born 1955). Anyway, the name of this article should be Karen Elizabeth Austin, for that's the name she used for for her latest two projects (There Is Another Sky, A Paperback Life). --[[User:Pedda|Pedda]] 10:41, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

:::I removed it. It was mainly about the comparisons to the US police or Secret Service. The article is fine without that. Saying things like "In episode so and so they did..." is ok if it can't be avoided. Since the article partly deals with their different depiction in various episodes, that's appropriate in this case. So a completely re-write isn't really necessary. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:54, 9 February 2008 (CST)

::::The drop down does not format on lists correct. Like before, it would create a new line and interrupt the list numbers. Also, from our previous discussion on javascript expanding boxes in the middle of episodes pages (which are not at the top), templates that expand huge things of text change the entire format of the page layout when they expand. Images get shifted and it creates an unnesseary new lines that were not there before. It's always 100% width.

::I like the idea, but I'm not sure it's universally better than the current method... Especially if it will create problems like Shane mentioned.

Also, people can gauge how much content the spoiler contains just by looking at the amount of unreadable text. --[[User:Galjamspe|Galjamspe]] 00:40, 22 March 2008 (CDT)

== Proposition for new article ==

Hi! Quite new here, and since I don't find a button for creating a new article, I figure I must go through the Quorum?

I'd love it if we could open a small article for adding notice for Caprica Six's unborn baby.
There's no actual article for this person yet, and I have to write my mentions about it, in already existing articles like Gaius Baltar's and Caprica Six's.

Thanks for the attention! {{unsigned|Iniovan}}

: Do we really know anything about the baby enough to write an article? At this point, we just know that Caprica-Six is pregnant and that the father is Saul. Other than that... any analysis on it could probably fit in the episode guides. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 18:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

== Question on editing etiquette ==

Hi,

I'm a newbie here. So this is a question so I can hopefully avoid stepping on anyone's toes. If you see an existing article and wish to add to the information and content, would it always be best to ask the original contributor before doing so? Especially if to do so, I would have to move some items around in the original article.

For example, I want to put in a new reference to supplement the article, however, it would need to go before an existing article, requiring renumbering of all of the references.

I'm just trying to get a feel of what is good editing and bad editing before I put foot in mouth.

thanks!
Jeff Rabb
:In a word, no. In addition to greatly slowing down the ability for the community to keep things up to date, it also ignores the fact that once you hit "save page" your edits become community property. There really isn't an "ownership" of articles, outside of perhaps articles in the "User" namespace. So feel free to [[BW:BOLD|be bold]] and get in those edits. If somebody takes issue with your edits they can either change it back themselves, take it up in the talk page of the article in question, and/or potentially bring it up on your talk page. New references are almost always welcome, as they're the glue that binds this place together. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 23:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice!

== How Can This Not Be Canonical? ==

On the [[unnamed battlestars]] page, there is section dealing with the [[Berserk Class Escort]]. A notation notes the specific information on this class of ship is non-canonical. Presumably because it comes from the ship designer's own website vs that from one of the sanctioned websites or sources. But the ship WAS used in [[Razor]]. So how can one on one hand use it in the show and on the other hand say that any specific information on it from it's creator is non-canonical simply because TPTB never bothered to put it with a sanctioned source? It either is or isn't in my book. I'm sure this discussion has arisen many times before, but I'd like to find out the final arguement that finally determined why this source, which straddles the line, should be excluded as non-sanctioned? Jeff Rabb
:The ship described on the website is on the show, but canon starts from the aired content and trickles down from there. So while we do see the ship, we aren't given any in-show identification of the ship. Also, there's nothing from the producers on the matter. However... the information coming from "crew" does seem to place it somewhere in category 3 in the [[BW:CITE|source hierarchy]], so it should have some weight (IMO). Anyway, I can see where the note was coming from (in that none of the information about the name of the ship, etc., came from any aired info or from RDM, etc), but I think you've got a decent argument. Given Joe's edit to the article, it appears he at least checked out the source website enough to correct the spelling to match it. Personally, I'd consider replacing the "canon" note and just replace it with a reference pointing to Chu's website. I do have to agree that it's not necessarily a battlestar, and in fact given the escort designation it's likely not a battlestar. Battleships don't "escort" battleships, and likewise with aircraft carriers. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 01:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

== The Caprican - Will We, Won't We ==

Hello all,

Very, very new here. I'm wondering if the contents of the newzine "The Caprican" will be included in info on the Caprica series?

It's been really great to read it, and join in the group that's been posting in character. I wouldn't think that the comments would be included as material, but the actual articles seem like they're going to be good fodder for Colonial life in general.

Thanks!
Glasswalker33

: I think we need to be very clear that whatever is in "The Caprican" isn't necessarily canon. If that's done, I have no qualm about including it, since it is put out officially by the SyFy Channel. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 03:36, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

::As I am new to this website, I was looking for an answer to this question (that, and regarding whether we will include the information from Serge's Twitter account). How should we distinguish it is not "necessarily canon" - a separate non-canon section of a particular article, just note information in the background info./notes or just include it in the main article until it is contradicted? --[[User:JamiLeeD|JamiLeeD]] 23:45, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

:::Everything's been canonical so far, including things first mentioned in The Caprican that appear onscreen days or weeks later. The latest example being Eros Day, which was mentioned in The Caprican a month ago and on the card in "End of Line". -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 23:52, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

::::Also, the rather ominous note about new railings on the Pantheon Bridge appeared weeks ahead of End of Line: http://showblogs.syfy.com/caprican/news/pantheon-bridge-getting-new-safety-measures.php Other things that appeaned in the Caprican before they showed up on the show were Vesta, the terror alert being raised (which was a plot point in End of Line-- it was why they couldn't get Zoebot off-planet for another week), and (if I'm remembering right) v-date. Clearly whoever writes it is involved with the production of the show. -- [[User:Rjinswand|Rjinswand]] 01:46, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

:::::Yes, V-Match first showed up there. Natalie Stark was also first named there, and the concept of a holoband sleeper weeks before it talked about Vesta and New Cap City.

== Question....Original Series ==

My teacher gave a clue to his laptop password...its "Three that was detroyed" from TOS
can anyone tell me what it means?
I tried D'Anna, Xena, And Six of one, none of the worked {{unsigned|Snarky}}

: "Three that was destroyed..." Hmm... Might be referring to a lot of things, actually. Like "Zac," the third child of Adama's that was killed in the pilot. Could be "Serina" too... I think your teacher needs to be a bit more specific. "Three" of what? Is "three" a specific thing, or does "three" mean a quantity? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 19:29, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

== Color of links to other wikis ==
I'm not quite sure this is the right place to ask this. I find a bit confusing that links to other wikis (e.g. Wikipedia, Memory Alpha) share their color with battlestarwiki links. I think its cool to link to other wikis at times, for example to give real world perspectives on some matters but I'd like to directly know if a link leads me away from this site. Maybe another shade of yellow/orange could be used? -- [[User:Penumbra|Penumbra]] 22:12, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
: Hmm... We could do that. I'd like to get everyone's impression on it though.

Just to illustrate my point (and bring the discussion up again): Most of you are probably aware of this but I think [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Ronald_D._Moore Memory Alpha] is a very good example for what I mean. The color of non-MA links is only slightly darker but it makes it very easy to spot them. -- [[User:Penumbra|Penumbra]] 19:51, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I am very much in support of this, I keep on getting sent to Memory Alpha or wherever when I don't really want to be. -- [[User:Rjinswand|Rjinswand]] 20:49, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

The discussion wasn't very lively, sadly. But do we (=you, Joe) want to make a decission? I'm still very much in favor of this. -- [[User:Penumbra|Penumbra]] 09:21, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
: I'm very much in favor of this, too. --[[User:Pedda|Pedda]] 12:39, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

:: Cool. Two suggestions: <span style="color:#ff8935">Text</span> <span style="color:#c4c95b">Text</span>. The greenish one is derived from the yellow color of normal links. But the orange one might fit better with the wiki's overall style.
