Flight Sergeant Ortega is a Warrior who is part of battlestar Galactica's Viper corps. He is reputed to be an aggressive loner, who engages in illegal activities, yet manages to keep quiet about his personal beliefs otherwise.

A Life of Self-Service[edit]

Ortega had previously met Lieutenant Starbuck at the Colonial Academy, probably at flight training, and loathed him ever since. They often engage in an unhealthy, unfriendly rivalry.

While evacuating from Caprica in the aftermath of the Battle of Cimtar, three people bribe Ortega for places aboard Rising Star—places reserved for children and their caretakers. Ortega unwisely blackmails Karibdis along with two others: Elias and Riftis.

Riftis, who assumes an alias as Chella, works as a dealer at a chancery table on Rising Star. Ortega often sits at his dealer's table to continually extort money.

During a long recon mission, Ortega reveals to Flight Sergeant Barton that the only person with enough gall to kill him was Karibdis (a.k.a. Pallon). Outside of their duty patrols, Barton is part of Ortega's Triad team, despite his personal dislike.

Death[edit]

Before Ortega's death by Karibdis, he manages to eject both hims elf and Starbuck out of the Triad game. Karibdis, tired of the continual blackmail, uses Starbuck's laser pistol to kill Ortega before the corrupt Warrior has a chance to fire.

Ortega is likely missed by few, but the Colonial Warrior is given a proper burial nonetheless (TOS: "Murder on the Rising Star").
