Chain of Command[edit]
Presently, the first in command aboard Galactica is Admiral Adama, and the second in command is Captain Agathon. Beyond that the hierarchy is unclear. Major Cottle is a staff officer and outside of the chain of command. Given Captain Kelly's detention in "The Son Also Rises" he is presumably no longer a candidate.
