Shannon Adama (a.k.a. Shannon Adams) is the daughter of Ruth, wife of Joseph Adama, and mother of Tamara and William Adama.

When Joseph was in law school, Adama bought Joseph a cigarette lighter engraved with his name. The lighter was passed on to William, who considers it a good luck charm (TRS: "The Hand of God").

Fifty-eight years before the Fall, Adama is killed in a terrorist bombing on the Lev that also claims Tamara's life. The bomber is Ben Stark, a member of the Soldiers of the One. Adama is survived by her husband, her son, and her mother, who lives with the family. She and her husband were both Taurons living on Caprica (CAP: Pilot).

Notes

• While Adama's Dossier in "Hero" gives her name as "Evelyn," in the Caprica series the name "Shannon" is used instead. Another possibility is that Evelyn (introduced in Caprica's "The Reins of a Waterfall") is William Adama's stepmother.

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

Galactica 1980 definition:  Dillon is called both a terrorist and a chauvinist by Jamie Hamilton during their phone call from the police station; he asks Troy "what's a terrorist chauvinist?" (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I")

These are terms directly relating to Galactica 1980, some of which are based from the Original Series. For terms from that series, please refer to List of terms (TOS).
