Colonial Ministry of Defense: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:33, 28 July 2006

The Colonial Ministry of Defense was the branch of the Colonial Government based primarily on Caprica, whose function was to research improvements in technology that can more effectively defend the Twelve Colonies from the Cylon threat if they ever decide to return.

Dr. Gaius Baltar was a consultant for the Ministry and worked on the development of the Command Navigation Program which became an integral part of much of the Colonial Fleet's systems. A young, brilliant programmer, one of Baltar's lovers, aided him in the CNP's programming. This woman (who viewers know as Number Six) worked as a contractor for the Ministry. Baltar implies that she would get an advantage in future work for the Ministry in exchange for her help in assisting him with creating the CNP. Six was able to access, among other sensitive locations, the Colonial Defense Mainframe.

Six not only involved herself in his work by fixing over half of Baltar's CNP programming algorithms, she secretly added backdoors into the program that would cripple the bulk of the Colonial Fleet and spell the doom of the Twelve Colonies to Cylon attack. (Miniseries).

Dr. Amorak also worked at the Ministry and was a colleague of Baltar. He is presumably killed when Galactica's CAP destroys the Olympic Carrier after being commandeered by Cylons. When a copy of Number Six appears on Galactica under the alias of Shelly Godfrey, she pretends to be a systems analyst at the Ministry and the lover of Dr. Amorak (Six Degrees of Separation).

-Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] was a consultant for the Ministry and worked on the development of the [[Command Navigation Program]] which became an integral part of much of the [[Colonial Fleet]]'s systems. While Natasi ([[Number Six]]) did not work at the Ministry, Six worked as a contractor and Baltar implied that she would get an advantage in future work for the Ministry in exchange for her help. Thus she was allowed to tag along with Baltar as a guest while assisting him with creating the CNP, accessing the [[Colonial Defense Mainframe]] located in their main building.
