Sergeant Hadrian is the Master-at-Arms on battlestar Galactica, and one of its few remaining Marines. She is responsible for the internal security of the ship (Litmus).
As such, Commander Adama places her in command of investigating Cylon sabotage (Water). Apparently in this duty, she investigated the flight deck accident that resulted in the death of thirteen Viper pilots (Act of Contrition). After the suicide attack of Aaron Doral, Commander Adama places her in command of an independent tribunal to attempt to locate Cylon saboteurs aboard Galactica.
After refusing to defer to Adama's authority, and accusing Adama of being involved, he forcefully disbands the tribunal, and confines Hadrian to her quarters (Litmus). Col. Tigh mentioned that Sgt. Hadrian was leading one of the squads of Marines repelling a Cylon boarding party that invaded Galactica shortly after they reunited with the fleet (Valley of Darkness).
Notes[edit]
- It has been hinted by sources close to the production that Hadrian's first name is "Joyce". However, this has yet to be confirmed directly by production staff, or through a further appearance by the character on-screen.
- Hadrian was the name of a Roman Emperor who was characterized by his efforts to stabilize and strengthen the Roman frontier, building suitable defenses and abandoning provinces that were too costly to guard. Sergeant Hadrian plays a similar role: she tirelessly works to defend the Galactica against its enemies (although she focuses on internal enemies, whereas the emperor focused on external ones). In keeping with the show's basis in Greek mythology, Hadrian was a noted Hellenophile, and did much to enrich Greek culture in the Empire during his reign. (Wikipedia: Emperor Hadrian)
