Stubbs

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Labelled Model of Stubbs' Raptor in the Situation Room (The Hand of God)

Stubbs is a male[1] Raptor pilot aboard Galactica who monitored enemy force deployment during the Battle for the Tylium Asteroid (The Hand of God). He was attached to Strike Force One, while another Raptor (Boomer's) was assigned to monitor Strike Force Two.

Since Boomer and Crashdown's raptor is labelled "Boomer" during this scene, and Stubbs' Raptor also bears his name, we can assume that he is pilot rather than ECO.

Note

  • "Stubb" is possibly an obscure reference to Moby-Dick: the second mate of the Pequod is named "Stubb". The first mate of the Pequod, incidentally, is named "Starbuck".

References

  1. Stubbs, while unseen and uncredited, does have one line in the episode. After Strike Force 1 is ordered to retreat, he reports to Galactica: "Galactica, Stubbs. Cylon strike force is turning away from Deacon and inbound to Galactica." From this, we can at least conclude his gender.
