Lieutenant Joe Palladino, callsign "Hammerhead", was a Viper pilot on the Battlestar Galactica. He was assigned to lead a detachment of marines to the civilian cargo ship Gideon. His mission, as ordered by Col. Saul Tigh was to retrieve desperately needed supplies from the transport, which was withholding from Galactica in protest of Tigh's declaration of Martial Law.

Due to his inexperience at riot control, he was unable to maintain control of his forces and the irate civilian crowd during the food transfer. When the situation grew violent, one of his own marines fired a weapon and the marines under his command began shooting randomly at the panicked crowd. Despite repeatedly ordering his marines to cease fire four civilians were killed during the incident and he was reprimanded by Colonel Tigh for his failure. ("Resistance")
