In 7360, Major Boomer is instrumental in preventing the further destruction of Hephaestus by Paris and his Puck-supporting separatist blackshirts, as well as saving nine members of the crisis-response team from the Fleet's crisis-control ship Neptune[2].

Notes
- Boomer is berthed with the other pilots, primarily because he feels that, as an Academy instructor, this allows the cadets to know him and for him to understand these new recruits[5].
