Tory Foster becomes President Laura Roslin's new aide and campaign manager following the death of Billy Keikeya. Prior to the Cylon attack, she was precinct captain for the Federalist Party in Delphi for five years, where she became proficient at taking polls (The Captain's Hand).
When President Roslin makes the decision to keep the new-born Cylon/human baby as far away from Sharon Agathon and the Cylons as possible, Tory creates a list of hand picked civilians who could be trusted with the baby. In the end a civilian named Maya is selected to take custody of the child. Tory makes it very clear that the child's mother's identity remain a secret (Downloaded).
Tory later conspires with Saul Tigh and Anastasia Dualla to rig the Presidential election in Roslin's favor. The ruse is uncovered and suppressed by Admiral Adama and Lieutenant Gaeta (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II).
During the occupation of New Caprica, Foster aides Roslin in compiling a list of humans who are in collusion with the Cylons. She is tasked, and fails, with ensuring the safe transport of Maya and Hera/Isis off the planet. Maya is killed trying to escape New Caprica with the child. Hera survives but is found by the Cylons ("Occupation", "Exodus, Part I & II").
Foster suffers an injury to one of her arms when a Raptor accidentally crashes into Colonial One after its main and RCS thrusters fail due to using impure tylium fuel (Dirty Hands).
Before and during the trial of ex-president Gaius Baltar, she is tasked with helping Roslin assemble a tribunal to bring charges against Baltar, as well as establish security arrangements ("The Woman King", "The Son Also Rises", "Crossroads, Part I") demonstrates an unwillingness to aid Romo Lampkin's defense case through initially stonewalling Lampkin's attempts to gain access to records on Colonial One (The Son Also Rises).
Some time after the death of Kara Thrace (Maelstrom), Foster began a sexual relationship with Thrace's widowed husband, Samuel Anders, which is not viewed well by Roslin.[1]
At the beginning of Baltar's trial, Foster begins to show signs of stress, possibly originating from a strange noise which she hears as the Fleet moves towards the Ionian nebula. Her lack of sleep and stress levels results in a damaging outburst to the press corps during Roslin's press conference, a press conference that covers the reemergence of her cancer. Roslin confronts Foster after this, threatening to replace her if she did not get back on her game (Crossroads, Part I).
