Jack Fisk was the Executive Officer of the battlestar Pegasus (serving as a Colonel) when he and Admiral Helena Cain discovered battlestar Galactica (Pegasus).

Fisk was a typical orders-only XO who generally kept to the status quo established by his commanding officer. Like his counterpart on Galactica, Saul Tigh, Fisk was fond of drinking, although he appeared far less likely to drink on duty than Tigh had in the past.

In a drunken conversation with Colonel Tigh, Fisk said that he entered his position as XO following Admiral Helena Cain's execution of her previous XO for insubordination. Fisk later claimed that the tale of the shooting was just a joke, although Tigh's instincts told him otherwise when he relayed the story to Commander Adama. (Fisk's previous post on Pegasus before promotion to XO is not given.)

After Commander Adama and Admiral Cain came to a near-shootout between their battlestars over Cain's quick conviction of Galactica officers Helo and Galen Tyrol, Admiral Cain ordered Fisk to take a contingent of Pegasus marines to guard the Galactica CIC, but with orders to "terminate Adama's command" after the battle ended, once she would call him and say, "Execute case orange" (Resurrection Ship, Part I).

Colonel Fisk broke up a violent beating to prisoners Helo and Galen Tyrol, conducted by Pegasus Specialists Vireem and Gage. He dressed down the men, warning them that striking an officer on Pegasus has severe penalties, and sent them on his way. When thanked by Helo and Tyrol, Fisk nastily dismissed their thanks, adding that he owed Lieutenant Thorne his life, as did others on Pegasus. When Helo explained that Thorne was attempting to rape Sharon Valerii, Fisk echoed the same sentiment held by most in the Colonial fleet: "You can't rape a machine, Lieutenant."

Fisk later detailed to Tigh (again, over drinks) the fate of a civilian fleet that accompanied Pegasus for a time before Admiral Cain ordered their ships stripped of supplies, parts, and people, killing the families of any conscripts who refused to leave.

Fortunately, Cain did not give the kill order to Fisk for Commander Adama at the expected time, which left Fisk visibly relieved. Colonel Fisk later assumed command of Pegasus when Admiral Cain was killed by an escaped Cylon agent, Gina (Resurrection Ship, Part II). Appropriately, Fisk was promoted to the rank of Commander.

Commander Fisk was involved in the Fleet's black market, using his resources to allow shuttling of resources through Pegasus. Fisk supplied Gaius Baltar with fresh "Caprican Imperials" cigars. Fisk apparently became greedy in the eyes of the black market's boss, Phelan, who had Fisk murdered in his quarters (Black Market). Fisk was succeeded by former engineer Barry Garner as commander of Pegasus. ("The Captain's Hand")
