Lieutenant Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson is a female ECO aboard the Galactica who accompanies LT (j.g.) Sharon "Boomer" Valerii on a mission to destroy a Cylon Basestar. She is later a witness to Boomer's attempted assassination of William Adama in the CIC of the Battlestar Galactica (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II). Immediately after, she informs the CIC staff that Boomer returned from placing the nuclear warhead inside the Basestar orbiting Kobol without her helmet on, and that she probably gave away the Galactica's position to the other Cylons (Scattered).
Racetrack aided the escape of President Laura Roslin from the brig by falsely saying that her Raptor was having technical problems, making an excuse for the furloughed Lee Adama to go to the hangar bay instead of the brig as part of his arrest. She then helped prep for launch the Raptor they were escaping on, though she stayed behind on the Galactica (Resistance). Racetrack served as ECO on Raptor 1, plotting the best point of orbital entry when taking Commander Adama to Kobol to find and meet with President Roslin (Home, Part II).
Notes
- Racetrack was probably created as a replacement for Crashdown and his role as ECO of the Raptor a given episode focuses on (as Crashdown himself was created as a replacement for Helo after he was stranded). Racetrack was introduced in the first season finale and the seeds of Crashdown's demise - signs of his incompetence for command while stranded on Kobol - were already planted in that episode.
- Racetrack's name was revealed in the episode "Final Cut".
