Peter Laird is a civilian aeronautical engineer. When the Cylon Attack began, he was aboard the Scylla, a civilian ship, when its passengers were "picked up" by the battlestar Pegasus. He became the ship's Flight-Deck Chief despite not being part of the Colonial military. When he came aboard Galactica, he met his counterpart, Chief Tyrol. Upon looking on the Blackbird he was both appalled and impressed by Tyrol's new stealth fighter, especially because he designed the old DDG-62 engines used in the Blackbird (Pegasus).
Laird was assigned to Galactica in Admiral Cain's fleet integration and was later made deck chief after Tryol was charged with the murder of Lt. Thorne. While drinking with Col. Tigh, Pegasus XO Jack Fisk revealed that the Scylla was part of a civilian fleet that Pegasus encountered a few weeks after escaping the Cylon attack. Admiral Cain, with military priority on the mind, ordered that the fleet be scavanged for anything that would be of aid to Pegasus militarily. Supplies, weapons and even people of certain backgrounds were taken. Laird, whose background in aeronautics served Cain's plan well, was taken away from his wife and possibly children at gun point by Pegasus marines. Whether or not they were executed because he resisted is unclear but he left them behind either way. (Resurrection Ship, Part I)
Notes[edit]
- Ron D. Moore said in his podcast that he was tempted to give Laird a Scottish accent as a tribute to James Doohan, who played Montgomery Scott on Star Trek, as Doohan died around the time that the episode "Pegasus" was filming. Ultimately, he reluctantly decided not to.
