PERSONNEL ROSTER

Commodore Jonathan Turner - Commander of the Prometheus and Battlestar Group 22

          Calm under fire, intelligent and level headed, Commodore Turner trained under Commander Helena Cain as her X.O. aboard the Pegasus for two years, absorbing her brilliant tactical abilities while keeping a command style all his own. He is fair and tends listen to those under his command. A consummate professional, he does his job with little flash or ceremony and prefers to let his actions speak for him. His tall, dark stature and quiet, yet powerfully commanding presence are at both times comforting to those who follow him, and un-nerving to those who stand against him. He also has a strong competitive streak in him. He competed in the Colonial Martial Olympiad three times, winning medals for his swordsmanship.

Colonel James Ryan III - Executive Officer of the Prometheus

          Descended from a long line of prestigious Colonial Fleet officers, Ryan is 30 years old and on the fast track. His goal is to be a commander by age 35 and an admiral by age 40. He isn’t always as firm as he should be and he still has much to learn about command, but he is blessed with a lightning quick intellect and a commanding presence. He is tall and skinny, with blonde hair that he wears in a military flat top style. Fair skinned with boyish good looks, some have made the mistake of underestimating him. It's a mistake that most don't get a chance to repeat.

Major Jason “Slider” Allen - Commander, Prometheus Air Group (CAG)

          Newly promoted to Major, Jason Allen is a fly by the seat of the pants hotshot that makes combat piloting look effortless. Coming from a wealthy family on Caprica and graduating at the top of his flight school class, his natural talents have given him an air of arrogance, something which gets on the nerves of his fellow pilots. After six months as commander of the Prometheus Air Group, he has matured greatly and become an excellent leader  who cares for his pilots and always looks out for their well being. 

Captain Stacie “Sheba” Percival - Commander, 82nd Viper Squadron

          Currently the commander of the 82nd VIper Squadron, she gives one hundred and ten percent in everything she does and expects the same from everyone else. She leads by example and can often be found in the trenches with the ‘knuckle draggers’. Coming from the agricultural world of Arelon, she had to work hard to get into the academy and had to work harder to prove herself to her peers from the more wealthy world like Caprica and Picon. She served in several assignments before taking command of the 82nd aboard the Prometheus.  

Captain Allain Halloran- Chief Operations Officer, Battlestar Prometheus

          Allain Halloran is an asygoing man, yet behind his plesant demeanor and friendly smile lay the heart and soul of steeley eyed killer. He served for ten years as an enlisted Colonial Marines before being selected for training with the prestigious Colonial Special Operations Corps, where he earned a commission as a lieutenant in the Colonial Fleet. He is now the Special Operations Detatchment commander for the Balck Beret group assigned to the Prometheus. His cover as the ships Operations Officer remains intact even though his abilities were put on display when the Prometheus was captured by the Terran Alliance. Only the senior officers of the fleet know of his true nature.

Master Chief Petty Officer Theresa Madrid- Senior Enlisted Person (aka Chief of the Boat) Battlestar Prometheus

          Theresa Madrid is a career soldier of the Colonial Defense Force who had no aspirations to greatness. She was perfectly content to be the Communications Chief of the Prometheus. Events changed her fate, however, when the former Chief of the Boat died in enemy hands. She stepped up like the natutral leader she was and kept the crew from losing hope during their captivity in Alliance hands. In recognition of her leadership abilities, Commodore Turner promoted her over several other higher ranking enlisted members to her current rank. She now enforces discipline with a boot and a smile, keeping the members of the Prometheus crew in line and ensuring that they never forget who they are: Colonial Soldiers.

SUPPORTING CHARACTERS

Dr. Lucian Zylman - Chief Scientific advisor to Commander Turner

          Assigned by President Adar to assist Turner in the search for Earth, Doctor Z (as he is affectionately known by those whom he works with) is the foremost expert on Earth mythology in the twelve colonies. While some people mistake him for a nerdy scientist, those who actually get to know him realize that he has one of the sharpest minds they will ever meet. In his time on Prometheus he has earned the respect of the officers and enlisted men of the ship because of his fierce loyalty and determination.

Captain Michael “Archangel” Johnson - Air Support Group Commander (ASGC)

          Laid back, level headed and generally amiable, Michael Johnson is the rock that many of his friends lean on in troubled times. The son of a priest, he has deep religious beliefs and a forgiving nature. This doesn’t keep him from doing his duty however. He can make a Raptor do things that make Viper pilots stand up and take notice. Aggressive in the cockpit, he often mutters prayers to the Gods while he engages in combat.

Dr. (Captain) April "Doc" Kaplan - Flight Surgeon, Battlestar Prometheus

          Doctor Kaplan is young, fiesty and absolutely dedicated to her profession. A top notch Doctor, she graduated at the top of her class from the prestigieous Colonial Defense Force School of Medicine on Caprica. After graduation she was offered a cushy assignment at Fleet Headquarters on Picon but turned it down to serve on a Battlestar. She cares fpr her patients and works tirelessly to make sure that they have only the best healthcare that can be made available to them. Her guilty pleasure, however, is flying the Viper Mark 7.  As a flight surgeon she is required to be qualified to fly the Colonial fighter in order to better understand the stresses that pilots endure while in the cockpit. In truth, there isn't a single instance where she has ever turned down a chance to get some flight time. She has even flown several combat patrols with the regular pilots, just to get some 'stick time'.

Captain David Briedis - Chief Engineering Officer, Battlestar Prometheus

           David Briedis is an engineering genius. At 36 years old he has served on three Battlestars and most recently worked on the design team for the Nova Class project, focusing both on engine and structural design. He holds two engineering degrees and is regarded as one of the best engineering minds in the Colonial Fleet. Initially, he was turned down for assignment to the Prometheus as the Admiralty wanted to keep him at home to supervise the construction of the second Nova Class Battlestar, the Battlestar Atlas. He turned down that assignment though, and threatened to resign if he wasn't allowed to accopany the Prometheus on her maiden voyage. Reluctantly, the Admiralty gave into his demands and he was placed as the assistant Chief to Major Argyle. After Major Argyle died in an attack by Alliance forces, he was promoted to C.E.O.

Captain Louis Greene- Gunnery Officer, Battlestar Prometheus

           Louis Green grew up in the back woods and swamps of Aerelon where he learned to hunt and fish from his father, a former Colonial Army soldier who fought during the Cylon War. As an avid fan of hunting and guns sports, he jumped at the oportunity to fire the biggest guns known to man aboard the Prometheus. He relishes his job of firing the big NAC 10 cannons and demands absolute skill and professionalism from his gun crews.

Captain Karen Reighney- Helm and Navigation officer, Battlestar Prometheus

          Captain Reighney is the daughter of a Sagitaron Minister, yet her attitude is atypical of someone from that devoutly religious Colony. She is soft spoken, yet very practical. Her subordinates have come to respect her for her even temperment under stress and the practiced ease with which she fulfills her duties. She is quiet unless spoken to, yet not aloof or cold. This has made her one of the more popular officers amongst the crew.
