Captain Raymond "Raygun" Lai is presumed to have been a Colonial pilot in the days where the Viper Mark II were in active service prior to its successor, the Viper Mark VII.
A Viper with Lai's name (tail number 8547) appeared as part of a squadron of Viper Mark IIs in the Galactica Museum.
After word of renewed Cylon attacks on the Colonies and with no weapons ordinance or Viper Mark VIIs for the recently-decommissioned Galactica onboard, Commander William Adama orders the deployment of the museum Vipers in his ship's defense. Lai's Viper is piloted by Kara "Starbuck" Thrace in Galactica's first sortie since the Cylon War.
Starbuck's skillful piloting of Lai's old Viper, despite a strike that damaged one of its engines, saves Galactica from possibly fatal damage after Starbuck shoots down two of three kiloton Cylon missiles fired by a Raider (Miniseries, Night 1).
Notes
- Ray Lai was a concept artist for the 2003 Miniseries. His name appears in the show as an honorific. Some of his work can be seen on Galactica.TV
- Raymond "Raygun" Lai can be seen on the Air Group organization chart in the squadron led by Kara Thrace in the episode, "The Passage." Since this mentioned-only character existed in the long past of the series' characters, possibly during or shortly after the Cylon War, this mention on the chart is a series continuity error.
