"If the crew doesn't hate the XO, then he's not doing his job."
--Saul Tigh.
The Executive Officer (more commonly known as the XO) is the second in command aboard a Colonial Fleet vessel and is responsible for administrative duties and the detailed management of affairs, giving the CO time to deal with broader issues. The rank normally held by the Executive Officer is Colonel.
