Tattooed pilot

File:Unnamed pilot 1.jpg

A large, bald, tattooed Viper pilot. His tattoos include a tiger on his left arm and a dragon on his right arm.

The pilot is played by Leo Li Chiang. He first appears at a briefing in "33" and is visible in most group scenes involving pilots.

Rag Tag Fleet

Priest

Both president Gaius Baltar and, after the Second Exodus, Laura Roslin, were sworn in by this priest.

This priest is played by actor Winston Rekert and appears in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II", "Exodus, Part II" and "Collaborators".

Colonial One pilot

The unnamed captain of the the government-chartered starliner Colonial Heavy 798 (later renamed Colonial One) in the miniseries.

The pilot was played by actor Barclay Hope. In the novelization of the miniseries (which is treated as a separate continuity source), the unnamed captain is given a name: Captain Russo.

Colonial One co-pilot

The unnamed co-pilot of the the government-chartered starliner Colonial Heavy 798 (later renamed Colonial One) in the miniseries.

The co-pilot was played by actor Biski Gugushe and in the miniseries novelization (which is treated as a separate continuity source) is given a name: Eduardo. The actor who played this character, Biski Gugushe, also portrays two other characters in the Re-imagined Series: a reporter named "Eick" (ostensibly named for series co-executive producer David Eick), and a second reporter, Sekou Hamilton.

Humorously, in the DVD commentary for the miniseries, Ron D. Moore and David Eick point out that Gugushe is one of the best extras they have, but he got no speaking lines whatsoever for the role of the pilot. They jokingly quipped of the actor's non-verbal skill, in that the actor always looks as if he wants to say something while in the cockpit, but always thinks better of it and keeps silent.

Others

Armistice Officer

Main article: Armistice Officer

The Armistice Station Officer was assigned to the Armistice Station, where he would represent the Twelve Colonies to attempt their continuation of diplomatic relations between the exiled Cylons and humans. The officer is the first member of the Colonial Fleet to see the Cylons in over 40 years when two upgraded Cylon Centurions and a copy of the Cylon evolved to humanoid form Number Six. While the Centurions stand stoically at attention, the female asks the Colonial officer, "Are you alive?" After he answers in the affirmative, she tells him to prove it, and kisses him. The station is then destroyed by a Cylon basestar.

The Armistice Officer was portrayed by actor Ryan Robbins.
