This article has a separate continuity. This article is in the Dynamite Comics separate continuity, which is related to the Re-imagined Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

The Returners are thirty-three Colonial citizens, most known to be long dead, who reappear, apparently very much alive, in an old Colonial ship, Medivac 12, encountered by battlestar Galactica as it passed by an old Colonial battlefield of Colonial ships in a region of space very far away from the Twelve Colonies (Battlestar Galactica 0).

Laura Roslin, reading from the Sacred Scrolls, notes a passage that "The dead shall return in an ark of fire." Medivac 12 is suffering from hull breaches and internal fires as its inhabitants ward off Cylon Centurion attacks.

While Commander William Adama and his son, Lee Adama, strongly believe the people to be Cylon constructs similar to Humanoid Cylons, Caprica-Valerii tells them that these people are not Cylons (Battlestar Galactica 1).

Kara Thrace is unsure of the nature of these people, particularly after she encounters her dead fiancé, Zak Adama, aboard the ship (Battlestar Galactica 0). Anastasia Dualla's brother, Darrin, also appears on the derelict ship.

Some of the Returners escape via zip pods to other ships in the Fleet, despite Galactica's quarantine order (Battlestar Galactica 1). The people, unwillingly or intentionally, spread a contagion that incapacitates most of the crew (Battlestar Galactica 2).

Gaius Baltar, investigating the craft, discovers that the Returners are Cylon constructs of a sort. The beings are clones implanted with memories of the dead, used by the Cylons to study human nature in preparation for the creation of the twelve humanoid Cylon models. Billy Keikeya, pouring through available records, confirms that every one of the Returners were people who died while in some kind of flight, and were not on the ground or in a building at the time of their death (Battlestar Galactica 3).

List of Returners

The following is a list of known Returners, including how their originals had died and how long ago they died, in relation to the events of the comics.

Name	Colony	Death
Darrin Dualla	Sagitaria	Airline accident, seven years prior
Jane Esolia	Gemenon	Sky King Disaster, six years prior
Sparto Relamia	Sagitaria	Unknown
Zak Adama	Caprica	Killed during his qualifying run, two years prior to the Miniseries
Daniel Estaran	Gemenon	Unknown
Shelia San	Aerilon	Unknown
Marco Lesa	Caprica	Killed by the Cylons
Felis Ava	Virgon	Unknown
Bob Helis	Caprica	Unknown

Notes

The concept of the deceased returning occurs in the main continuity as the fleet encounters a miraculously alive Kara Thrace ^{(TRS: "He That Believeth in Me")}. Considering the issue, Lee Adama muses about what would happen if Zak returned in a similar fashion, and Starbuck herself considers the possibility that she is a Cylon construct similar to that described above.

Bobby Van (born as Robert Jack Stein on December 6, 1928 in New York City, New York, died July 31, 1980 in Los Angeles, California) was an American theater, film and television actor.

Van's parents were Vaudevillian actors, spending time backstage until he joined his parent on-stage at age four. Despite being born a bit later than other notable song-and-dance actors such as Gene Kelly, Van enjoyed many roles in films and musicals in the 1950s.

After the golden age of musicals passed, Van worked as a choreographer for a time for films starring Jerry Lewis and others. Van's comedic talents made him a valuable asset in many roles.

Van made the transition to television with great success as a guest on TV game shows, dramas and comedies such as Match Game, Wonder Woman, The Love Boat and CHiPs. He also hosted the game shows Showoffs (1975), The Fun Factory (1976) and Make Me Laugh (1979).

Van portrayed the android Hector in the Original Series episode, "Greetings From Earth." In the role, he is paired with another classic song-and-dance actor, Ray Bolger. The two conclude their episode with a song-and-dance number for the child characters of the episode, reflecting their mutual career histories.

Van was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in 1979, but hosted a Mrs. America pageant despite the illness.

Van died in 1980, at age 51, and is buried at Mt. Sinai Memorial Park in Burbank, California. He was survived by his second wife, actress Elaine Joyce with whom he had one daughter. He had a son from his first marriage.
