List of pilots

For a list of Colonial Warriors seen in the Original Series, see List of Warriors.

Pilots and other enlisted in a recreation room on Galactica.

From the episodes "Act of Contrition" through "Pegasus", Galactica's combat ability was severely limited by her manpower - more so than her shortage of mechanical resources. This list was created to keep track of Galactica's current and former Viper pilots, Raptor pilots, and ECOs, and includes former members of the crew of Pegasus as well.

A flight-qualified officer wears pilot wings on the left breast of their officer's uniform. Officers with senior pilot experience (such as William Adama and Saul Tigh) wear a larger, more elaborate pin. These pins do not necessarily indicate that the pilot is on the active flight roster for combat or other work, but only that they have been trained to fly.

V - Viper qualified
R - Raptor qualified
E - Raptor ECO
