Background

Before assuming command of Galactica, the Caprican Adama attended the Academy with Baltar. During his tenure at the Academy, Adama and Baltar often met during Academy Chorus practice, where Adama was reputed to have a vibrant bass-baritone. Adama's abilities brought him both praise and the attention of various females, which caused Baltar to be envious, up to the point where Baltar attempted to out-do Adama by modifying the Academy's testing computers. Baltar was summarily ejected from the Academy, despite Adama's attempts at intervention (itself only further fueling Baltar's hatred for Adama).

Upon receiving command of Galactica from his father roughly two years after Apollo's birth, Adama kept a detailed computer journal chronicling his experiences aboard the ship that he showed no one, until it was seen by Boxey, who would command the last surviving battlestar after Adama's death.

Adama would outlive both his sons, Zac and Apollo, a fact that pained Adama greatly.
