Janet Prescott (credited as Janet Lynn Curtis in Battlestar Galactica, J.C. Larson, and later Janet Prescott-Curtis) is the actress who portrayed Sorrell in the Original Series episode, "Lost Planet of the Gods".

As Janet Lynn Curtis, her acting roles were mainly in Glen A. Larson productions, notably in the recurring role of Margaret Ellen in The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo.

On 29 August 1982, Curtis married Larson[1], becoming his second of three wives, and segued from acting to producing, with her first production credit on The Fall Guy. During the production of The Fall Guy, the Larsons conceived two daughters from the marriage: Danielle born 11 May 1984[2] and Nicole born 22 January 1986[3].

Following Fall Guy, she became a producer on numerous subsequent 80s and 90s Larson productions, the last of them being 1997's NightMan.

In 1998, she petitioned for divorce, but was not finalized as of 17 August 2005; it was finalized on 24 December 2008.

In 2013, Universal Studios' legal counsel, lead by Scott Edelman at Gibson Dunn, subpoenaed Prescott and Carol Jean Gourley (Larson's first wife) for information relating to their divorces from Larson. This action was in defense of Larson's claim that "Hollywood accounting" from the studio withheld unpaid royalties and related earnings from Larson's various productions circa 1970s through the 1980s, including Battlestar Galactica and Knight Rider. Prescott's counsel filed motions to dismiss these subpoenas citing attorney-client and attorney-work product, and Glen Larson's counsel Neville Johnson responded by motions to limit such subpoenas, citing such efforts as being part of a "fishing expedition" and "egregiously overbroad."[4]

This list was created to keep track of Galactica's and Pegasus' current and former Viper pilots, Raptor pilots and ECOs. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.
Pilots are officers in the Colonial Fleet trained and qualified to operate a Viper fighter or a Raptor multipurpose vehicle.

Pilot candidates, or "nuggets," normally start training in simulators, but after the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, Galactica's nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until Pegasus (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the Fleet. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "Rooks".

A flight-qualified pilot wears basic pilot wings on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. William Adama, Saul Tigh) wear a variation with outstretched wings.

Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as Aaron Kelly and Felix Gaeta, continue to wear them.

A flight suit, which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.

Qualifications legend:

V - Viper pilot
R - Raptor pilot

Homages to real persons[edit]

The following pilots are homages to people working on the show or related to its production. Since they may only exist in behind-the-scenes photos and not featured on screen, they don't necessarily exist within the show's continuity.

Rank Name Source Note
Admiral Ronald D. "Caveman" Moore Behind-the-scenes photo A reference to show runner Ronald D. Moore.
Captain Kevin "Silent" Smith Behind-the-scenes photo This is an homage to actor, director and writer Kevin Smith, who was considered to direct an episode of the fourth season.

Non-Canon[edit]

This is a list of names of pilots who have been identified as not being in the series canon, based on the following conditions:

  1. The name is derived from a nameplate that was production made, and;
  2. The name directly contradicts known, established canon.
Rank Name Source Note
Lieutenant Gwen "Red Devil" Fleer Nameplate auctioned off during the Official Battlestar Props and Costumes Auction. A nameplate likely made for Steve Fleer, who shares the same callsign, last name, and rank. Nameplate was likely made before production changes rendered it obsolete.

References[edit]

  1. IE: The Colonial Stealthstar, Blackbird, Cylon Raider, or Cylon Heavy Raider.
  2. Firelli appears in the episode "Pegasus," appearing to fulfill the role of tactical officer. It is possible that, after Pegasus's destruction, he switches roles from CIC to fight duty.
  3. Role as Viper pilot derived from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Lt. Mei "Freaker" Firelli's nameplate.
  4. Name and rank from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Lt. Analy 'Feline" Amante's nameplate.
  5. Name and rank from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Lt. River "Hiccup" Brigden's nameplate.
  6. Name and rank from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Captain John "Snitch" Burke's nameplate.
  7. In "Unfinished Business," Dix's name appears on the blackboard keeping track of the boxers. It is implied that he is the person fighting Sergeant Omar Fischer. Further, his name, rank, and Viper qualification are derived from his Viper nameplate that was auctioned off.
  8. Name and rank from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Lt. Timo "Blindspot" Talamonte's nameplate.
  9. Name and rank from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Lt. Drew "Bomber" Wilson's nameplate.
  10. 10.0 10.1 Butch and Dune's callsigns can first be seen on the locker doors in "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I". It is likely that their names are on the lockers in all other appearances of the weight room as well (such as "Scar" and "Torn") even though they cannot be seen on screen. The last confirmed sighting is in "Crossroads, Part II".
  11. Name and rank from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Lt. Keenan "Buttermilk" Van Dyk's nameplate.
  12. Name and rank from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Ens. Seamus "Kingston" McCrae's nameplate.
  13. Name and rank from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Lt. Lyn "Pookie" Zook's nameplate.
  14. Name and rank from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Lt. Chac "Ruins" Choben's nameplate.
  15. As Tigh's military record was falsified by John Cavil, Tigh's "life" as a Colonial begins after the First Cylon War and approximately 20 years before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. Therefore, Tigh's actual flight ability is unknown.
  16. Note: In the Miniseries, Gaeta does not have flight wings on his uniform, but when the show went to series, the character is given flight wings from "33" and onward.
  17. Name and rank from Official Battlestar Galactica Props & Costumes Auction Archive listing for Capt. Branuelle "Puppet" Bronte's nameplate.
  18. 18.0 18.1 18.2 18.3 See Image:Situation Room pilot board.jpg for the roster seen in "The Hand of God". Another column of the roster can be seen around time index 35:00 behind Baltar.
