Jack Fisk, serial number 245A-34DC, is the executive officer of the battlestar Pegasus 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. He has a jovial personality, often cracking jokes to ease tension.
Serving in an unspecified role in Pegasus's CIC, Fisk rises to the position of XO, shortly after the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies. When Colonel Belzen refuses Cain's reckless order to launch all Vipers against overwhelming odds during an attack on a Cylon communication relay, Cain shoots him in front of the crew. She then turns to Fisk and repetes the order, who complies with little hesitation.
Later, Fisk and Kendra Shaw lead a Marine strike team onto the civilian ship Scylla, to carry out Cain's order to strip the vessel of suitable resources and personnel. When the civilians refuse to cooperate and become unruly, Cain tells him to shoot the family of any selectee that refuses to comply. As Fisk threaten the civilian's families with execution, Shaw impulsively raises her gun and shoots a woman in the head, which leads to deaths of nine others. This effectively ends any resistance from the passengers and crew of the Scylla, leading them to cooperate with the demands of the boarding party (Razor). He later relates these incidents to Colonel Tigh, but claims to be joking when Tigh reacts with shock (Pegasus).
After Commander William Adama and Admiral Cain come to a near-shootout between their respective battlestars over Cain's quick conviction of Karl Agathon and Galen Tyrol, Admiral Cain orders Fisk to take a contingent of Pegasus Marines to guard Galactica's CIC in the event of enemy boarding during the Battle of the Resurrection Ship. She gives Fisk orders to have the Marines assasinate Adama and the rest of the CIC Senior Staff after the battle is over, once she calls him on the wireless and says, "Execute case orange". However, after the battle is won, she relents and does not give the order. Jack is relieved, and lets out a roaring belly laugh, much to the confusion of everyone in the CIC (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 their way. When thanked by Helo and Tyrol, Fisk summarily dismisses their thanks, adding that he owed Lieutenant Alastair 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 says, "You can't rape a machine, Lieutenant."
Colonel Fisk later assumes command of Pegasus when Admiral Cain is killed by an escaped Cylon agent, Gina Inviere (Resurrection Ship, Part II). Appropriately, Fisk is promoted to the rank of commander.
Later, Fisk became involved in the Fleet's black market, using his resources as commander to allow the shuttling of black market cargo through Pegasus, including fresh "Caprican Imperial" cigars to Vice President Gaius Baltar, for which he received unknown benefits from the black market boss, Phelan. When Fisk tries to force Phelan to renegotiate for higher compensation, Phelan has him garroted in his own quarters (Black Market). Fisk is succeeded by former engineer Barry Garner as commander of Pegasus (The Captain's Hand).
Notes[edit]
- 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 Commander Garner's new XO. It is unknown whether he holds the same position when Fisk assumes command of Pegasus. Moreover, he doesn't appear in the aired episode and is never mentioned again in the series. This makes his canonical status questionable.
