Sergeant Hadrian is the Master-at-Arms on Galactica, and one of its Marines. She is responsible for the internal security on the ship.

She leads the investigation of an accident on the hangar deck that results in the death of thirteen pilots and injures seven more, concluding that it was caused by material fatigue (Act of Contrition).

After a suicide attack by Aaron Doral, Commander Adama places her in command of investigating how it was possible for him to get past the security guards. She acts as the main prosecutor in an independent tribunal to attempt to locate Cylon saboteurs and collaborators aboard Galactica. However, her efforts turn into a witch hunt and, although Specialist Socinus is used as scapegoat, the tribunal is disbanded by Adama, after he himself is accused of facilitating the attack. Hadrian is confined to her quarters after losing a standoff with him (Litmus).

When a Cylon boarding party invades Galactica, Colonel Tigh mentions that Sergeant Hadrian is leading one of the squads of Marines defending the ship (Valley of Darkness).

Notes[edit]

  • Hadrian was the name of a Roman Emperor who was characterized by his efforts to stabilize and strengthen the Roman frontier, building suitable defenses and abandoning provinces that were too costly to guard. Sergeant Hadrian plays a similar role: she tirelessly works to defend the Galactica against its enemies (although she focuses on internal enemies, whereas the emperor focused on external ones). In keeping with the show's basis in Greek mythology, Hadrian was a noted Hellenophile, and did much to enrich Greek culture in the Empire during his reign. (Wikipedia: Emperor Hadrian)
  • In "Litmus" Hadrian wears rank insignia with one chevron on a green backround that are normally used by Colonial Fleet Non-Commissioned Officers. While she is a Marine, it is possible that some rank insignia are used in both services.
    Her full rank can be assumed to be 'Staff Sergeant' which equates to 'Petty Officer, 1st Class'. Placing her one rank lower or higher would create a conflict with the established insignia of 'Petty Officer, 2nd Class' and 'Chief Petty Officer' respectively.
