Biography[edit]
Perry is a young man in his early 20s, who is selected from relative obscurity to become one of Galactica's first intake of trainee pilots after 13 experienced pilots are killed in a freak accident (Act of Contrition).
Once on the Galactica he finds himself under the command of Kara Thrace for training, alongside nugget pilots Brendan Constanza and Louanne Katraine, with whom he forms a friendship.
Thrown in at the deep end-- flying Vipers on their very first day of training, none of the nuggets perform particularly well. This leads to the entire intake initially being washed out by Thrace, prior to being reinstated on the orders of Commander William Adama.
Death[edit]
Perry is selected to fly in with Lee Adama during a raid as part of Strike Force Two to secure tylium desposits from the Cylons (The Hand of God). He is killed during the operation when an anti-aircraft bullet pierces his cockpit and pressure suit.
Chuckles is later mentioned (and confirmed dead) during a conversation between Captain Adama and Captain Thrace as they talk about other pilots that have died (Scar).
Notes[edit]
After Lee Adama's defection to the Laura Roslin faction, commander William Adama considers a pilot named Perry to replace him as CAG, before ultimately settling on George Birch. Because of his death in "The Hand of God", it seems likely that the "Perry" mentioned in "Home, Part I" is a different pilot altogether.
