 Boxey in 1950 CE (Noah Hathaway) | ||
Captain Troy is a Colonial Warrior attached to the battlestar Galactica during the discovery of Earth by the Fleet. As a child, he was known by his nickname of Boxey, which his mother, Serina, and his adoptive family aboard Galactica had used (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I").
Much like his adoptive father, Apollo, Troy is a squadron leader and Viper pilot. His fellow Warrior, Dillon, is his wingman and both Troy and Dillon have a similar relationship that Apollo and Starbuck had prior to their departures from the Fleet. For instance, Troy has a tendency to adhere to the rules and was serious. With Apollo dead, Troy has been in the care of this grandfather, Commander Adama, and has grown to become a proficient Colonial Warrior, a goal he had promised to achieve after the Colonial holocaust (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").
Earth
Upon discovery of the fabled Thirteenth Colony, Troy is tasked with leading missions to Earth, starting with the first contact mission to help develop Earth's technology in order to face the Cylon threat (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I"). He and Dillon are assigned to pursue contacts in the area of Southern California, but deviate from this when they go back in time, and when they visit New York state ("The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I & Part II").
He takes on the role of Scout Leader with Galactica children, and seems to relish the position. He has deep empathy for the plight of others, and for the environment, and is motivated to action in order to alleviate these plights ("Space Croppers," "The Super Scouts, Part II").
Post-1980
In the novelization of "The Living Legend", which covers the events of "The Living Legend, Part I" and "The Living Legend, Part II," the introductory segment is written from the point of view of Troy, now a Commander, who was thrust into this role after the death of Adama. (This is an "expanded universe" story based upon Galactica 1980, and neither the book nor series are themselves considered canonical.)
Notes
- When Galactica 1980 was originally conceived, it was to have featured the characters of Apollo and Starbuck. However, neither actor was available for the project, and so instead of recasting it was decided to advance the storyline 30 years and feature two new characters, Troy and Dillon as the new leads.
- Troy was a recurring character in Galactica 1980 who appeared in all but the final episode "The Return of Starbuck".
- "Troy" was quoted as Boxey's given name. This fact seems to have been adopted into the Battlestar canon and other non-canonical stories, such as Richard Hatch's various novels and, most recently, the Cylon Apocalypse comic series.

Troy "Boxey" Adama is the adopted son of former Flight Captain Apollo and the biological son of Serina; his grandfather, Commander Adama, outlived both his parents. During his childhood years, he was known as Boxey, which inevitably became his callsign.
By 1980 C.E., he became a Warrior and flew patrols that he believed were worthless as during his life as a Warrior, neither he nor his wingman, Dillon, encounter Cylons. To cope with the boredom and conditions in the Fleet, Troy seeks refuge in ambrosia and often drinks while on patrol, much to Dillon's chagrin. Troy and Dillon appear to have an odd relationship, as Dillon is responsible and "by-the-book" in his approach as a Warrior.
During a patrol in 1980, Troy and Dillon recover the Voyager spacecraft launched by NASA several Earth years prior. After Doctor Gaius Zee deciphers the golden disc on Voyager, they find the location of Earth and discover its inhabitants to be primitive and unable to repel a Cylon invasion, should one occur. Troy and Dillon are dispatched as scouts prior to Commander Adama's ill-advised appearance over the White House in Washington, D.C. (Galactica 1980 1).
After Galactica's debris fall over Washington, D.C., Troy and Dillion land to determine if Adama survived the attack. As Adama and Dillion extract Adama's body from the debris, they encounter soldiers from the United States Army. During the altercation, Dillon is mortally wounded and Troy returns fire, incapacitating a solider until the soldiers are forced to retreat due to the radiation. Before Dillion dies, he tells Troy to forgive their Earth brothers, for they are only human (Galactica 1980 2).
Fleeing from the site, Troy later encounters Doctor Felix Mortinson, who speaks Caprican albeit roughly, and with Mortinson's help bring Adama to meet with President Jimmy Carter. After initial resistance from Carter, Adama is able to secure the American's assistance against the Cylon forces and orders the Colonial Fleet to stand down from their invasion of Earth (Galactica 1980 3).
As the Cylons begin their own attack—lead by Baltar and Lucifer—Adama devises a plan to use nuclear warheads against the Cylon basestars, as they are susceptible to this technology. Troy objects when Adama takes Troy's Viper, however Adama doesn't give him any choice in the matter. With the initial Cylon invasion thwarted, Adama dead in a suicide run on Baltar's basestar, Doctor Zee killed, and a majority of the Colonial Fleet destroyed in the battle, Troy assumes the mantle of the leader of the Colonials. Establishing a rapport with a reporter, Ms. Hamilton, Troy begins to learn English and helps the Thirteenth Tribe create a new battlestar, Adama (Galactica 1980 4).

For the canonical character from which this one is based, see: Boxey (TOS).
|
|
Troy, known also by his childhood nickname "Boxey," is the adopted son of Lieutenant Commander Apollo. He holds the rank of lieutenant and is a Warrior and Viper pilot.
Background
After the then-six yahren old survives the attack on Caprica, he joins the Fleet and suffers the loss of both Muffit and, later, his mother, Serina. During the exodus, his anger and hatred for the Cylons grew even further, the seed of which was planted when the Cylons killed his biological father some yahren earlier.
Troy's drive to become a Colonial Warrior is spurred by his hatred for the Cylons, and, to some extent, his respect for his adoptive father. The result of his drive was his being the youngest Warrior to have graduated from the Academy, which was later a record beaten by Dalton, the daughter of Starbuck and Cassiopeia. After graduating, he is disappointed that they had been able to evade the Cylons, at least for six yahren.
While Troy is angered at Starbuck's death at Ochoa, he is happy that the Cylons have returned, and is able to fulfill his need for revenge.
Relationships
Troy mainly keeps to his own adopted family, which includes Athena, Tigh, Sheba, Cassiopeia, Adama, Boomer, and Starbuck.
Prior to Adama's death, he elicits a promise from Troy to dedicate his life to serving the Lords of Kobol, believing that their wisdom is the only way the human race can be saved.
As for relationships with fellow youths, Troy was Dalton's babysitter and language tutor during her childhood. When she becomes the youngest Warrior to graduate Academy at age 17, he comes to recognize that he is romantically attracted to her, despite the eight year age difference (RH: Armageddon).

| [[Image:|200px|Troykus "Bill" Adama]] | ||
Troykus "Bill" Adama is commander of Galactica and military leader of the Colonial Fleet, during his leadership of the Fleet, he notes its continued deterioration and general malaise of the survivors. Near the end of their journey to Earth, Adama tires of maintaining a strong, optimistic demeanor in public and contemplates suicide, before being summoned by Doctor Zee to Rising Star regarding the discovery of Earth.
During the journey, Adama and Zee have a strained relationship over how Zee appears to treat Adama, in addition to Zee's unmentioned "experiments" on people, which reached its zenith upon deciding how to best approach the members of the Thirteenth Tribe. Enraged at Zee's recommendation that the Colonials forcibly establish order on the planet due to their primitive state, Adama pleads with the Quorum of Twelve to establish peaceful contact with the humans on Earth. Adama solicits their agreement, only to lead to Galactica's destruction at the hands of the United States of America's military. Moments after the crash Adama sees the sunlight of Earth from a large crack in Galactica's bulkhead (Galactica 1980 #1).
Initially believed dead Adama was in fact the only known survivor of the crash and was rescued by Troy and Dillon who rapidly got anti-radiation meds into him before evacuating the area (but not before Dillion was killed by US Military forces).
With a shooting war underway between Colonial and Earth forces and with Doctor Zee having declared him dead to take power for himself Adama allied with Earth scientist Felix Mortinson and together with Troy they made their way to Mount weather where they contacted the President of the United states. Initially paranoia and the language barrier made talks close to impossible but when Adama recited the text of the Voyager records message to alien cultures, and with the aid of Mortinson (who was able to translate the colonial tongue into English) he managed to show the President that what occurred had been a tragic accident.
Using the United States of America's Emergency Broadcast System, Adama retook control of the fleet and got the Colonial forces to stand down, however too late it was discovered the Cylons had followed the fleet and launched an all out assault on Earth.
As Colonial and Earthman fought shoulder to shoulder in a desperate battle for the last Bastion of humanity, it was discovered that the 13th tribe primitive though it was had one weapon the thermonuclear bomb, that Colonial and Cylon shields could not defend against (indeed that was how Galactica had been shot down), however Earths missiles could not reach the baseships, and the missiles could not be mounted on Colonial ships, the only way was for the bombs to be placed in Vipers and flown straight into the enemy ships...
With most of the refugees (relatively) safe on Earth the surviving Warriors prepared for suicide assaults, including Troy who is confronted by Adama. Forcing his grandson to stand down Adama (who was a skilled pilot in his younger days) leads the assault on the lead baseship, commanded by none other than his old foe Baltar. The two enemies exchanged words over radio as Adama closed on the baseship, too late Baltar realized Adama's true plan.
In a nuclear fireball Adama destroyed the basestar and redeemed himself for his perceived failure in leading the Cylons to Earth and the botched first contact, while at the same time other attacks destroyed the entire Cylon fleet.
Adama died a hero, but with the certainty that more Cylons would inevitably attack Earth a crash program began to build a new battlestar. Six months later the half-built ship proudly bore the name: Adama (Galactica 1980 #4).
Notes
- This version of Adama fuses both the Original Series and Re-imagined Series "Adama" characters. While he experienced all the events of the 1978 series and looks like Lorne Greene, there are differences: most notably he is a skilled fighter pilot (something never demonstrated in the Original Series) and Baltar refers to him as "Bill" on two occasions.
- There is ambiguity regarding his first name: while a caption in issue 3 calls him "Troykus," Baltar refers to him as "Bill" to which Adama acknowledges meaning, unless this is a nickname or callsign.

- 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.
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.

Status Unknown
This is a listing of pilots and callsigns derived from the nameplates that were auctioned off. These nameplates were either used on the Vipers in the background or made for the production, and thus may or may never have been seen on-screen. Their status has been presently identified as "unknown."
Homages to real persons
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
This is a list of names of pilots who have been identified as not being in the series canon, based on the following conditions:
- The name is derived from a nameplate that was production made, and;
- 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. |
