Jack Fisk, serial number 245A-34DC, is the Executive Officer of the battlestar Pegasus (serving as a Colonel) when he and Admiral Helena Cain discover Galactica.

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

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

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

Colonel Fisk breaks up a violent beating of Helo and Tyrol in the brig, conducted by Pegasus Specialists Vireem and Gage. He dresses down the men, warning them that striking an officer on Pegasus has severe penalties, and sends them on his way. When thanked by Helo and Tyrol, Fisk nastily dismisses their thanks, adding that he owed Lieutenant Thorne his life, as did others on Pegasus; he broke up the beating more for the sake of the uniform than anything else. When Helo explains that Thorne was attempting to rape Sharon Valerii, Fisk echoes the same sentiment held by most in the Colonial fleet: "You can't rape a machine, Lieutenant."

Fisk later details 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.

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

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

Notes

• According to the recon photograph shown in "Pegasus", Fisk's serial number is 245A-34DC; a serial number that does not conform to serial numbers issued to Kara Thrace, Sharon Valerii, or Karl Agathon.
• A deleted scene from "Black Market" shows Captain Renner as Fisk's XO. However, he doesn't appear in the aired episode and is never mentioned again in the series. This makes his canonical status questionable.
