"Jammer," whose first name is James and last name is unconfirmed, is a member of Deck Crew 5 under Chief Tyrol, often seen working alongside other crewmembers Socinus and Cally in the hangar bay.
When President Roslin makes it public knowledge that Cylons are now capable of mimicking human form, paranoia spreads throughout the Colonial Fleet. Cally and Socinus argue with Jammer that everyone shouldn't become suspicious and stop trusting one another or the Cylons get what they want. Jammer tells his shipmates that the time for that kind of thinking is in the past and it's "every man for himself now" (Litmus).
When Cylon Centurions board Galactica (Valley of Darkness), Captain Lee Adama and a team of Marines find Jammer hiding unharmed in a small arms locker room filled with crewmen the Cylons killed.
Jammer also scoffs Tyrol's attempt at constructing the Blackbird, though he later reconsiders his decision and aids the deck crew and Tyrol in finishing the prototype (Flight of the Phoenix).
As with most of the Fleet, Jammer settles on New Caprica. After the Cylons occupy the planet, Jammer becomes a member of the New Caprica Resistance. He appears to very religious, and objects to hiding weapons in the temple. Jammer is picked up by the Cylon authorities and asked about the events of the temple by a copy of Number Five (The Resistance).
Notes
- It has been speculated that Jammer may be one of the remaining humanoid Cylon models to be revealed. This is unlikely because Doral calls him a human being (The Resistance).
- For some time, it was not entirely clear whether "Jammer" is the character's actual name or his nickname (like Tyrol being called "Chief" most of the time in casual conversation) because no one ever formally addressed him by name and rank, i.e. "Specialist Jammer" was never been spoken aloud. Curiously, he signed his name on the Blackbird simply as "Jammer".
- Jammer is distinct amongst the deck crew of Galactica in that while essentially all of the other deck crew characters so far shown wear orange jumpsuits, Jammer's jumpsuit is yellow (this makes him easy to spot for fans who might not know who he is). This is probably done to add to the realism of the Re-imagined Series, because real-world aircraft carrier deck crew personnel wear color-coded jumpsuits according to their assigned tasks. On real-world US Navy carriers, yellow-suited deck crewmen are charged with aircraft handling, catapult gear, and plane direction duties. The US Navy actually doesn't use an orange-suit designation, but the closest to that are red-suited personel, who are charged with ordnance, crash and salvage duties.
