As a member of Galactica's command staff, Petty Officer 2nd Class Anastasia Dualla [du.ˈɑ.lə] manages the main communications board in CIC, and works closely with Adama, Tigh, and Gaeta in serving as Galactica's eyes and ears to her fighters and The Fleet. Her responsibilities include:
- Monitoring fleet-wide communications, including all of Galactica's incoming and out-going communications
- Ensuring shipboard communications are properly logged (Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down)
- Relaying communications to all of Galactica's Vipers and Raptors during off-ship missions
- Managing other minor CIC operations in Lt. Gaeta's absence.
Biography
Dualla's father thought that her enlistment in the Colonial Fleet was crazy, and he viewed the military as a joke. She signed up anyway because she wanted to believe in something. This rift with her father would continue throughout her service and the last time they spoke they got in a heated argument; two weeks later the Cylons attacked, and Dualla never got a chance to reconcile with him (Final Cut).
At the time of the Cylon attack she monitors fleet-wide communications. Dualla is one of the first to notice the unusually-high levels of shipboard malfunctions and failures aboard other battlestars (Mini-Series).
After the Cylon attack, she co-ordinates Fleet activities with Tactical Officer Felix Gaeta (e.g. Jumps). In this responsibility, she discovers that the Olympic Carrier fails to Jump with the fleet after yet another Jump to escape a 5-day long, relentless attack by the Cylons after their escape from Ragnar Anchorage (33).
Due to his attraction to Dualla, presidential aide Billy Keikeya "volunteers" her to join an off-ship mission to the Astral Queen (Bastille Day). Led by Captain Lee Adama, the mission is to attempt enlistment of prisoners aboard the Queen in resupplying Galactica with water following an act of sabotage (Water). During the mission, the team is taken hostage by prisoners during a jail break lead by fellow Sagittaron and political agitator Tom Zarek.
Freed without personal harm during this siuation, Dualla returns Billy Keikeya's affections, and they date during off-duty periods (Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down).
Dualla receives a minor concussion when Cylons board the ship (Valley of Darkness). Dualla aids in Laura Roslin's escape from Galactica after the President's arrest by covering up the tracks of their secret communications coordinating their movements in the Fleet, and getting Colonel Tigh to sign permission to close off a causeway which they use as an escape route. At this time, Dualla seems to take a greater personal interest in Apollo (Resistance).
Dualla is assigned to give D'anna Biers a tour around the battlestar as part of Bier's documentary of the ship (Final Cut). Lee Adama seems to return Dualla's personal attraction during a sparring exercise with the petty officer (Flight of the Phoenix).
Dualla's avionics training helps in building a stable communications package for the experimental Blackbird fighter (Flight of the Phoenix).
Keikeya, apparently attempting to solidify his relationship with the petty officer, proposes to Dualla, but she refuses. Keikeya later sees Dualla with Lee Adama on Cloud 9 and accuses her of leading him on. Shortly after Keikeya's accusation, four terrorists commander the lounge and its occupants in exchange for the surrender of Sharon Valerii. When a ruse by Admiral William Adama is discovered, the leader of the the terrorists orders Dualla's death. Keikeya intervenes and manages to shoot the terrorist, but the terrorist fatally wounds Keikeya before dying. Lee Adama is also left severely wounded from a friendly-fire incident during an abortive assault led by Kara Thrace. Dualla promises to watch over Lee Adama until he recovers in sickbay. When he finally regained conciousness, Dualla was so happy that neither of them noticed Starbuck leaving the sickbay with a heartbroken expression (Sacrifice).
A few months later, still in a relationship with Apollo, Dualla was involved with the counting of ballots for the Presidential election. Dualla conspired with Tory Foster and Saul Tigh to rig the election in Roslins's favor, indicating that she comprehended the disaster that would follow if Baltar was elected. Though the plot initally went off without a hitch, the efforts of Lt. Gaeta led to Adama's discovery of the duplicity, and the plot was covered up, with Baltar being elected to the Presidency.
A year later, Dualla served as an officer in the Pegasus CIC, acting as both Communications and Executive Officer, one of few remaining crew serving on a Battlestar in orbit around New Caprica (Dualla and Apollo may have still had a relationship, given the look she gives him when Starbuck calls. She also fiddles with her ring finger, which may imply that she is now married). Dualla's keen eyes picked up DRADIS contacts, which gave the remnants of the Fleet advance warning to the arrival of full Cylon fleet. Dualla and the rest of the fleet jumped away, hoping to return to liberate New Caprica another day. (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II)
Notes
- Dualla's counterpart in the Original Series is Rigel.
- Dualla was known throughout all of the first season and part of of the second season only as "Dualla" or "Dee". Her first name was finally revealed in the episode, "Final Cut" in an on screen text scrawl during her documentary interview; her first name has yet to be spoken aloud. "Anastasia" means "resurrection" in Greek.
