Lieutenant Stuart "Banzai" Bachanal[1] was a Viper pilot and squadron leader assigned to Galactica during the Cylon War, circa 41 BCH (59YR).
During Operation Raptor Talon, William Adama flew as Banzai's wingman in a failed attempt to defend Columbia from the Cylons who had knocked out her defenses (TRS: "Razor Flashbacks, Episode 3").
Banzai had to be firm with the willful young Adama, having to pull Adama away from a wounded Jaycie McGavin (TRS: "Razor Flashbacks, Episode 2") and later unsuccessfully trying to keep Adama from following two Cylon Raiders down to the ice planet (TRS: "Razor Flashbacks, Episode 3").
Notes
- Banzai briefly appears in Battlestar Galactica: Origins 5 comic, informing William Adama that the Cylons signed the Armistice and that Jaycie McGavin died as a result of her injuries.
- Banzai may be named after Dr. Buckaroo Banzai from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.
