Biography[edit]

Sheba is a Viper pilot onboard the battlestar Pegasus, who is transferred to the Galactica after the apparent loss of the Pegasus. Sheba is the daughter of Pegasus commander, Cain.

Sheba is leading a patrol with Bojay when they encounter Starbuck and Apollo. Sheba orders the two Warriors to land aboard Pegasus. Once on board they learn that Sheba is not only Cain's daughter, but she is also the Strike Commander of Silver Spar Squadron. In the Warrior Lounge Sheba and Bojay verbally spar with Apollo and Starbuck about the different philosophies of Cain and Adama. The Pegasus pilots are clearly more cocky, experienced, and militant. Cain's arrival with Cassiopeia on his arm causes her to leave in a huff. Apollo catches up with her, trying to make sure that there isn't a conflict that will prevent them from working together. Sheba lets him know that it's not him that she has a problem with.

Sheba is surprised when her father joins the mission to capture the Cylon Tankers. In the joint mission, she and her squadron end up helping Blue Squadron out of a bind, assisting them with fighting off some Raiders. While everybody is focused on fighting the Raiders, Cain manages to destroy the tankers, claiming that they were destroyed by incidental fire. When cornered about it by Apollo, Sheba back's Cain's account of the story. The destruction of the tankers forces Adama to consider an attack on Gamoray.

After Cain is relieved of command for refusing to distribute fuel to the rest of the fleet, Sheba and Bojay approach him about refusing Adama's orders. Cain refuses to endorse their mutiny plans. Despite his insistence of following Adama's orders, Sheba and Silver Spar Squadron are standing guard when the pilots from Galactica arrive to distribute the fuel. A conflict is averted when an alert sounds, signalling a Cylon attack (The Living Legend, Part I).

Notes[edit]

The name Sheba comes from a queen who, according to Kings 1-3, visited King Solomon to test his wisdom.
