Revision as of 21:56, 19 August 2005
As can be seen clearly in Act of Contrition, Galactica's combat ability is as limited by her manpower as her mechanical resources. The following is a list of Galactica's current and former Viper pilots, Raptor pilots, and ECOs.
Active[edit]
Vipers[edit]
- Lt. Symes - senior pilot after Capt. Lee Adama and Lt. Kara Thrace (Fragged)
- Lt. Joe "Hammerhead" Palladino (Resistance)
- Cadet Brendan "Hot Dog" Constanza
- Cadet "Kat" Katraine
- 19 others (at most)
Others: As of the Mini-Series, Starbuck informs Cmdr. William Adama that "there are 20 of us climbing the walls down in the Ready Room". This is excluding the 20 members of Ripper's wing already sortied, and Apollo, on escort detail, and probably doesn't include ECOs.
After the accident in Act of Contrition, Capt. Adama states to Lt. Thrace that there are 21 pilots remaining, by which he probably refers only to the Viper pilots. (If this number includes Raptor pilots and ECOs as well, then it is contradicted by the survival of 2 Raptor ECO's by the time of Fragged, two episodes after an 18-Viper strong sortie in Scattered, at a time when there would have been at most 19 total survivors.) It is difficult to imagine that Sergeant Hadrian made the same distinction when she referred to the thirteen killed and seven injured in the incident, since the most notable victim was actually a Raptor, not a Viper pilot.
Of the 11 present for funeral services, at least one (Crashdown) and possibly two (unidentified #4?) are known to be ECOs. Racetrack and the fourth ECO are clearly not present. Another one (Boomer) and possibly two (unidentified #5 or #7?) are known to be Raptor pilots. This leaves 7, at most 9 Viper pilots depicted in this scene. Adding the 7 injured pilots, we have a total of 14-16 accounted for, meaning 5-7 surviving and uninjured pilots must not have been present for some reason (perhaps performing a Combat Air Patrol). 8 nuggets were then recruited to fill out the ranks, including Kat, Hot Dog and Chuckles, bringing the total to 29.

| Unidentified nuggets from Act of Contrition | ||||
In The Hand of God, a total of 19 Vipers and 2 Raptors are deployed. Starbuck is inactive at this time due to her knee injury. Fireball, Chuckles, Stepchild and one unidentified pilot are killed in this operation, leaving the total at 25.
In Scattered, Galactica fields 18 Vipers. If no other pilots than Flyboy were killed in Valley of Darkness, this means Galactica has at most 23 pilots remaining after Apollo's permanent defection in Resistance.
In the mini-series, three Mark VII Vipers are seen in formation inside the ragtag fleet before they hooked up with Galactica. This adds three Vipers and three pilots to the fleet's strength. It also explains the fact that there is more Mark VII's on the Galactica other than the one flown by Lee Adama when we first see him in the Mini-Series.
Raptors[edit]
- Unidentified Lieutenant who pilots Raptor 1 in Fragged, and later aids Apollo and Roslin in their escape from Galactica in Resistance. (Or was the second appearance Racetrack?)
- One other (at least, see Note)
Others: Galactica is able to field six raptors simultaneously in Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II. The crews of Raptor 1 and Raptor 3 are accounted for. Boomer then pilots a raptor to the Cylon Basestar in orbit of Kobol, while three Raptors are sent to board Colonial One. These three probably did not need ECOs, given the target's lack of defensive options, but they certainly required pilots.
Note: Apollo is able to fly a Raptor (Resistance), and may have piloted one of the boarding party in Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II. This would (awkwardly) mean that he flew himself back to Galactica while under arrest.
ECOs[edit]
Note: The survival of two specialist ECOs by the time of Fragged means Apollo's headcount of surviving pilots in Act of Contrition could not have included them.
Others[edit]
Present at funeral services in Act of Contrition are 11 pilots and ECOs, including Apollo, Starbuck, Boomer and Crashdown. The next ready room scene is in Resistance, and features 20 people in addition to Apollo. Still present from the previous episode are:
- File:Contritionextra2.jpg
- File:Contritionextra6.jpg
- File:Contritionextra3.jpg - Several possible matches?
Note: Cmdr. William "Husker" Adama flew a Viper Mk. II during the Cylon War, and can also pilot a Raptor (as seen in Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down). Col. Saul Tigh was also a Viper pilot of the same vintage, but there is less to suggest he has retained any sort of flight status.
