Notes

• This Number Eight is often just called "Boomer" colloquially, as that callsign is closely associated with her, while Sharon Agathon is usually called "Sharon" and more recently "Athena". Until Season 3, this copy was referred to as the Galactica copy ("Galactica-Sharon"), because she was first encountered on Galactica.
• Virtual Six rhetorically asks Gaius Baltar in "Flesh and Bone" why he thinks that Valerii got the callsign "Boomer", implying a sexual reference. Aside from the fact that Valerii is the analogue of Boomer from the Original Series, the reason for giving her this callsign is likely due to her reputation for loud and botched landings with Raptors (Miniseries, "Flight of the Phoenix", "Scar").
• In reality, "Boomer" is a nickname for a ballistic missile submarine. "Helo" is a similar nickname for a helicopter.
