Amarak: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 18:38, 11 February 2024

Doctor Amarak^[1] was an associate of Gaius Baltar at the Colonial Ministry of Defense. He apparently survived the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies, escaping aboard Olympic Carrier.

Amarak was alleged to possess information pertaining to the betrayal of humanity. He sent a request to Colonial One to meet with President Laura Roslin to convey this information. Before the meeting could take place, Dr. Amarak is presumed killed when Olympic Carrier is destroyed by Lee "Apollo" Adama and Kara "Starbuck" Thrace after the Cylons appeared to commandeer the vessel and threaten to use a nuclear warhead placed aboard the liner to cripple the Fleet ^(TRS: "33").

Later, a copy of Number Six, calling herself "Shelly Godfrey," arrives aboard Galactica, claiming to be an assistant of the late Dr. Amarak. She presents video evidence of Gaius Baltar's complicity in the Cylon attack. However, after analysis, the evidence appears to have been fabricated. When attempting to follow up on this matter, Godfrey disappears and cannot be found anywhere in the Fleet ^{(TRS: "Six Degrees of Separation")}.

Notes

As Amarak is never seen or heard on-screen by viewers, it remains unclear whether or not Amarak was actually aboard the Olympic Carrier, a Cylon Agent, or whether the use of his name in these events was part of some other scheme by the Cylons.

-Amorak was alleged to possess information pertaining to the betrayal of humanity. He sent a request to ''[[Colonial One]]'' to meet with Roslin to convey this information; however, before the meeting could take place, the ''Olympic Carrier'' failed to execute an [[FTL]] jump with the rest of the fleet. When the liner did eventually make the jump and return to the fleet, some three hours later, it had been infiltrated by the Cylons, who placed a nuclear weapon aboard the [[Intersun]] starliner. It attempted to run an interdiction quarantine being held by ''Galatica's'' [[CAP]], pressumably to try and destroy ''Galactica'' and her Fleet, prompting her destruction and pressumably killing Dr. Amorak. ("33").

She presented evidence of Baltar's complicity in the Cylon attack, but the evidence turned out to be fabricated ("[[Six Degrees of Separation]]").
