Kip is a member of a group of Warriors assigned to visit to find Earth scientists there who would be willing to use Colonial technology to speed up the development of Earth to make it defensible from the Cylons.

Novelization depiction[edit]

In the Galactica Discovers Earth novelization, Dillon also mentions that Kip is assigned to the USSR.[1]
