Mini-Series

Boxey was the son of the Armistice Officer at Armistice Station. Following the Cylon Attack, Boxey and his mother sought sanctuary when the Raptor flown by Lieutenants Valerii and Agathon made an emergency landing on Caprica. When it became evident that the Raptor could not rescue all those who came to it, Boxey's aunt gave him up for transport back to the Galactica, where he has since been unofficially adopted by members of the crew (Mini-Series).

Season One

In season one, Boxey has been seen following Starbuck around and copying her attitude and tone with Tigh in Bastille Day. He has also been seen eating with Boomer and other pilots on the Galactica. He is mostly found in deleted scenes and on the cutting room floor, with very little exposure otherwise.

Notes

Boxey is another carry-over from the 1978 Original Series. He shares some simmilarities with his TOS counterpart, being that he is a young boy orphaned by the Cylon Attack who is adopted by members of Galatica's crew. In the original series he was adopted by Apollo while in the re-imagined series he appears to be the collective son of the crew. While Boxey was an often recurring character in the original series and the main character of the follow up Galactica 1980, in the new series his appearances became less and less frequent until he disappeared completely during the first season.
