Iphigenia

Lt. Iphigenia was the 21-year-old daughter of Commander Magus and sister of Paulus. She and "Husker" Adama were lovers; with her blonde hair and freckles, Iphi was described as looking like Adama's ideal counterpart.

Iphi was born in the city of Petaville on Caprica. An attractive and dynamic woman, Iphigenia usually went by her nickname ‘Iphi’. A fighter pilot aboard the Galactica, she served under the direct command of Magus, her father. Her older brother Paulus also flew as a pilot in Blue Wing. A military ‘brat’, she had a wild streak and a flippant sense of humor that seemed at odds with her uncanny skills as a Viper pilot; Iphigenia would frequently flirt with other male flyers, but in the thick of battle she wass all business. She preferred carefully-planned strategic attacks to tactical strikes, and knew that it would be successful strategies, and not random acts of pilot bravery, that would win the Cylon War for the Colonials; as such, she was at odds with her squadmate Garris Cain. Iphi was killed in battle with Cylon forces.

Her callsign was 'Angel' and her Viper designation was Blue Two.

Note

The "Battlestar Galactica" video game has its own continuity that uses elements from both the Original Series, and the Re-imagined Series.

• In the Original Series, Commander Adama had married Ila. In the Re-imagined Series, the character of William Adama married Caroline and, later, Anne.
• Iphigenia was voiced in the game by actress Kristanna Loken. Loken had a starring role in the feature film, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, where she portrays a robot agent who, similarly to Cylon agents in the Re-imagined Series, is a machine soldier in a war between humanity and a genocidal machine intelligence.

Re-imagined Series definition: a nickname used as a substitute for an aviator's given name in wireless communications and in conversation
