Rook

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Revision as of 20:42, 19 January 2007 by Serenity (talk | contribs) (term was introduced in the Miniseries. Also applies to Raptor pilots then)

A "rook" (ostensibly a contraction of "rookie") applies to a nugget who has completed his or her flight training and qualifications, yet is still inexperienced in actual combat.

Kara Thrace teases Helo about flying with a rookie, referring to Boomer (Miniseries).

Ensigns Brent Baxton and Joseph Clark are rooks that completed their training on the flight simulators available on Pegasus and are assigned to Galactica afterwards (Scar).
