Cami is a young girl onboard the sublight civilian spacecraft called the Botanical Cruiser. At the time of the Cylon Attack, she is travelling with her grandparents, but her grandmother succumbs to unspecified health problems. In her grandmother's stead, the captain of the Botanical Cruiser and his staff look after the child.

During Laura Roslin's visit, Cami talks to new president about reuniting with her parents on Caprica, having chicken pot pie, and other things she looked forward to on her return home, innocently oblivious to the holocaust and the peril she was thrust in.

Unable to be evacuated in time, the young girl is subsequently killed when a Cylon task force destroys her ship, while the FTL-capable ships jumped to Ragnar Anchorage to rendevous with Commander William Adama's Galactica (TRS: "Miniseries").

Notes[edit]

  • The scene in which Cami awaits her death on the Botanical Cruiser visually echoes the infamous "Daisy" television advertisement from Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 campaign against Barry Goldwater.
  • Coincidentally the word "cham-mi" and its variants mean "to die" or "death" in Mayan.
