- For a list of Colonial Warriors, the original Viper pilots seen in the Original Series, see List of Warriors.
- This list was created to keep track of Galactica's current and former Viper pilots, Raptor pilots and ECOs, and includes members of the crew of Pegasus as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.
Pilots are officers in the Colonial Fleet trained and qualified to operate a Viper fighter or a Raptor multipurpose vehicle.
Once pilot candidates, or "nuggets", complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "rooks". Nuggets may receive training in simulators if available. After the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, Galactica was forced to train nuggets in a series of live flights until Pegasus (with its onboard flight simulators) joined the Fleet.
A flight-qualified pilot wears basic pilot wings on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. William Adama, Saul Tigh) wear a variation with outstretched wings.
Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as Aaron Kelly and Felix Gaeta, continue to wear them.
A flight suit, which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.
Qualifications legend:
V - Viper qualified
