Cami talking to Roslin onboard the Botanical Cruiser
(Credit: Sci-Fi Channel / Universal Studious)

Cami was a young passenger, around maybe 4 to 6, onboard the slower-than-light Botanical Cruiser. She was travelling with her grandparents, but her grandmother was suffering health problems at the time of the Cylon Attack. Cami talked to Laura Roslin about chicken pot pie and what she was doing later, oblivious to the renewed hostilities. She was subsequently killed when a Cylon task force destroyed her ship, while the FTL-capable ships jumped to Ragnar Anchorage. (Mini-Series)

Notes

  • Many observers feel that Cami was a contrived plot device to perpetuate the lengths the Cylons would go to eliminate any survivors.
  • 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.
