ECO: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:19, 30 November 2006

The acronym ECO stands for Electronic Countermeasures Officer.

The ECO is responsible for the electronic countermeasures on a Raptor (Miniseries, "33"). ECOs also operate computer equipment, including scanning and detection equipment ("Water," "The Hand of God").

ECOs are pilots who also are certified to fly a Raptor if the primary pilot is incapacitated or unavailable. Crashdown pilots his Raptor when his pilot Karma is killed (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I), and Racetrack pilots a Raptor on several occasions (Fragged, Final Cut).

As Galactica faces chronic pilot and ship shortages, ECOs like Racetrack pull 'double-duty' as both Raptor or Viper pilots (Exodus, Part II).

-ECOs apparently have at least a basic ability to fly a Raptor if the dedicated pilot is incapacitated or unavailable, as Crashdown pilots his Raptor when his pilot [[Karma]] is killed ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]), and Racetrack pilots a Raptor on several occasions ([[Fragged]], [[Final Cut]]). As [[Galactica (RDM)|''Galactica'']] is facing a chronic manpower shortage, ECOs like Racetrack may now be pulling 'double-duty' piloting Raptors on a regular basis.
