Mini-Series

Boxey was the son of the Armistice Officer at Armistice Station. Following the Cylon Attack, Boxey and his mother sought sanctuary when the Raptor flown by Lieutenants Valerii and Agathon made an emergency landing on Caprica. When it became evident that the Raptor could not rescue all those who came to it, Boxey's aunt gave him up for transport back to the Galactica, where he has since been unofficially adopted by members of the crew (Mini-Series).

Season One

In season one, Boxey has been seen following Starbuck around and copying her attitude and tone with Tigh in Bastille Day. He has also been seen eating with Boomer and other pilots on the Galactica. He is mostly found in deleted scenes and on the cutting room floor, with very little exposure otherwise.

Notes

Boxey is a based on a character of the same name from the Original Series. He shares some simmilarities with his TOS counterpart, in that he is a young boy orphaned by the Cylon Attack who is adopted by members of Galatica's crew. While Boxey was an often recurring character in the original series and the main character of the follow up Galactica 1980, in the new series he only appeared in one episode of the first season, Bastille Day. A number of other appearances were filmed, but they were cut from other episodes due to time considerations, and the character now appears to have been abandoned.

One of the problems with having a young character such as Boxey on the show is that while the actor ages in real-time, the re-imagined series has progressed much more slowly - the series has only covered about three months in fictional time from the mini-series (2003) to the middle of season 2 (2005).
