This article has a separate continuity.
This article is in the Dynamite Comics separate continuity, which is related to the Original Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

Boxey is the son of Serina who survives the Cylon Holocaust.

During his early years in the Fleet, Boxey resides aboard Galactica with his step-father, Apollo, following the death of his mother.

En route to Earth, Boxey becomes one of the many denizens of the Fleet to share in the dream of Earth, projected by delta-class telepath Xam as they traverse an unnamed storm zone. This concerns both Apollo and Boxey's step-aunt, Athena (^{(Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #8)}—^{(Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #9)}).

After the events of Adama's Gambit, Boxey resumes attempting to find a place to play aboard Galactica, often being shooed from the engine room by Colonel Tigh

Later, as they transit a black hole, Boxey is briefly seen cavorting about Galactica with his trusted robotic daggit, Muffit (^{(Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #1)} & ^{(Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #5)}).

+'''Boxey''' is the son of {{alt|Serina}} who survives the [[Cylon Holocaust]].
-== The Thousand Yahren War ==
+During his early years in {{alt|the Fleet|TOS}}, Boxey resides aboard ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' with his step-father, {{alt|Apollo|TOS}}, following the death of his mother.
-As a [[Viper (TOS alternate)|Viper]] pilot aboard battlestar ''[[Rylon]]'' in 7322, he and wingman Captain {{alt|Adama|TOS}} are the first Warriors on site during the attack on [[Umbra]], [[Caprica (TOS alternate)|Caprica]].
+En route to {{alt|Earth|TOS}}, Boxey becomes one of the many denizens of the Fleet to share in the dream of Earth, projected by [[delta-class telepath]] [[Xam]] as they traverse an unnamed [[storm zone]]. This concerns both Apollo and Boxey's step-aunt, {{alt|Athena|TOS}} ({{comics|vol2|8}}&mdash;{{comics|vol2|9|short=y}}).
-As they attempt to fight off phalanxes of [[Cylon (TOS alternate)|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS alternate)|Raider]], Adama is shot down and crash-lands into the [[Thorn forest]] near Umbra. Before crashing, Adama orders Tigh to return to ''Rylon'' for reinforcements. He does so, and is able to secure a medi-ship to pick up both Adama and [[Starbuck (TOS alternate)|the young orphaned child]] whom saved his life ({{comics|starbuck|1}}).
+After the events of [[Adama's Gambit]], Boxey resumes attempting to find a place to play aboard ''Galactica'', often being shooed from the engine room by Colonel {{alt|Tigh|TOS-DE}}
-== The Path to Earth ==
+Later, as they transit a [[black hole]], Boxey is briefly seen cavorting about ''Galactica'' with his trusted robotic [[daggit]], {{alt|Muffit}} ({{comics|vol3|1}} & {{comics|vol3|5|short=y}}).
-In the aftermath of the [[Nebula Ambush]], Tigh leads a damage control team to the luxury craft ''[[Ariadna]]'', a ship whose engines are failing and leaving {{alt|Athena|TOS}} to determine the next steps as to planning a future evacuation of the craft's passengers. After nursing the ship back to health, Tigh and his team return to ''Galactica'' after escaping into the [[storm zone]], committing himself to keeping ''Ariadna'' operational for as long as possible ({{comics|vol2|7}}). During the travel through the [[storm zone]], Tigh and {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} find themselves at odds over {{alt|Adama|TOS}}'s decline, particularly when Adama fervently professes his belief that {{alt|Earth|TOS}} truly lies at the center of the storm zone ({{comics|vol2|8}}).
-After egressing from the storm zone, Tigh tells Adama that a nearby star cluster will allow for varied opportunities for orbital concealment, so that the Fleet may lie low and resupply—and for a possible three-point strike against their pursuers, should they need to fight. However, Tigh and his damage control team return to ''Ariadna'' to address the engine issue, while Adama enlists the assistance of Dr. [[Madusa]] due to Adama's desire to abdicate command of the Fleet. In doing so, he feels that Tigh's the backbone of the Fleet in his role as executive officer, and that Tigh is far too much a warrior and not enough of a statesperson to be the commander, a belief that makes Adama feel like he's standing over judgment of his loyal friend ({{comics|vol2|10}}).
-[[File:BSGv2 11 - Tigh's Sacrifice.png|left|thumb|800px|Col. Tigh tells Capt. {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} to abandon the defense of ''[[Ariadna]]'' and defend the rest of {{alt|the Fleet|TOS}} ({{comics|vol2|11}}).]]
-As the ship can no longer be nursed back to working order, its crew and passenger compliment are evacuated during the [[Defense of Ariadna|defense of ''Ariadna'']]. Tigh and his repair crew are cut off from the last evacuation shuttle, becoming resolute in their willingness to sacrifice themselves by turning ''Ariadna'' into a bomb and using it against the single {{alt|basestar|TOS}} pursuing them. Fortunately, Adama recovers his confidence, buoyed by the sacrifice of his friend, and brings ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' herself into direct confrontation with the baseship. This permits a rescue shuttle to recover Tigh and his contingent, and ''Ariadna'' gives its life for the Fleet — without any further human sacrifice ({{comics|vol2|11}}).
-Tigh assumes command of ''Galactica'' following Adama's incapacitation due to transit through a mysterious [[black hole]] ({{comics|vol3|1}}). During this time, Tigh participates in deliberations over {{alt|Lucifer}}'s request for sanctuary against the [[Meclons]]. Despite his distaste for the Cylons, he coordinates efforts on defense between Lucifer's {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} and the [[Colonial Warriors]], including {{alt|Baltar|TOS}}'s efforts to integrate Cylon programming into {{alt|Viper|TOS}}s ({{comics|vol3|3}} & {{comics|vol3|4|short=y}}).
-Tigh is pleased at Adama's recovery and stops {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} from shooting Adama following Apollo's realization that {{alt|Iblis}} possesses him ({{comics|vol3|5}}).
