Captain Aaron Kelly is third-in-command aboard battlestar Galactica. As the LSO (Landing Signal Officer), he is responsible for flight operations and aided in the capture of the first instance of the Cylon agent known as Aaron Doral (Miniseries).

Shortly after a Cylon nuclear weapon struck Galactica in the initial wave of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, Kelly began giving orders to aid crewmembers trapped or fighting damage in the port flight pod, where the detonation occurred, after Executive Officer Saul Tigh hesitates. Tigh soon countermands Kelly and orders the flight pod vented to stop the fires (Miniseries).

When Commander William Adama is shot by the Cylon infiltrator Sharon Valerii, Lieutenant Felix Gaeta reminds him on his arrival to CIC that Kelly is now second-in-command (Scattered). As a strong believer in Commander Adama's philosophy on computer networks, he voices his objections over networking Galactica's computer systems after the battlestar loses the Fleet due to incorrect Jump coordinates, asserting that the Old Man would never even consider Gaeta's option to network the computers for a faster Jump calculation. Soon afterwards, when Galactica is boarded by Cylon Centurions, Kelly assists Lt. Gaeta and Col. Tigh in coordinating an effort to stop their advance (Valley of Darkness).

Capt. Kelly apparently returns to his day to day duties as LSO, coordinating Viper landings from the port hangar bay, as Commander Adama returned to duty and the normal chain of command was restored. He is on duty when Kat, disoriented from stims, crash lands her Viper onto the landing bay (Final Cut).

Notes[edit]
