Doctor '''Gaius Zee''' is a highly intelligent, yet old Colonial scientist whose consciousness and personality are impressed in the body of a young pre-adolescent boy. Zee comes across as slyly condescending, with a juvenile arrogance and is at odds with Commander [[Adama (1980 alternate)|Adama]], particularly given Adama's distaste for Zee's "experiments" on people. Zee is given his own ship, ''[[Rising Star (TOS)|Rising Star]]''.

During his briefing of the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Quorum of Twelve]], Zee advocates subjugation of the Earth's population in order to protect both the Colonial Fleet and, more importantly, the primitive humans of the Thirteenth Tribe. Zee's recommendation control and forced enhancement of Earth's society and technology are overruled by a vehemently, morally outraged Adama, who advocates peaceful contact with the country that sent the ''Voyager'' craft.
